Wake Up

Slavery ended and minimum wage was born.

It’s illegal to owns us, but it’s legal to finance our time.

Well said there Rob and I hear you loud and clear on this matter.
What the real answer is, is perhaps the stuff of unicorns.
Or perhaps simply an imperfect world with imperfect and sadly entrenched values.
Maybe we should all go back to farming and bartering for a better world.
And I'll farm unicorns.
Thanks Rob for the thought provoker.
I wish you well.

I’m all about the bartering life, that’s my specialty. Yeah for last 10 years I have worked strictly commission and it has made it impossible for me to consider going back to an hourly wage. We all think we are signing up for our pay but reality is we’re selling our life, often times cheaply. Def. answers are in the unicorns…

Rob man, you really have to put in REAL quality time and effort when seeking commission pay based results.
If, one is seeking those high end results.
But, if you can find a happy medium that pays the rent.
Go for it
I have wage job that fortunately pays well and a few perks, but the time trap it is, is ghastly. But the staff around me make up for that issue.
Good luck out there in the doing  of what you do and I mean it.
There's more to life than money, for in my book it's merely paper and ink, life is flesh and blood.
Never sell your life too cheaply and when the occasion arises of pause, silence and calm, live in that moment and enjoy it.
