Normal Job
A normal job is what I prefer as long as I have creative freedom. But it is very difficult to find a job like this and even more difficult to keep. The reason I like a normal job is that it keeps me out of the house. The commute I have each day is 40 minutes by public transportation but I don't mind it. If I am at home the kids want my attention 110%.
As long as I have a job where I am needed then I am happy and my boss is happy. In return I get a pay check and some freedom. I have to go to work in all kinds of weather and when I am not feeling so good, but I think it is healthy for me. If I had to work at home I would have to segregate a room of the house like my office, but I know I will be under attack by my kids.
The problem with a "normal job" is that when you just do the minimum they get rid of you and when you do it well they offer you a promotion. This happened today and I was invited to move to a new district with higher pay and more responsibilities. I said no because I would be drained. I love my freedom and my health and I don't mind working at this "normal job" at all. It can be a lot of fun.
Ok totally agree with you on this, I'm not against a normal job all sort of because I have a normal job which I'm doing now and I'm also paid for it.
But my issue with Normal job is you tend to have less time for yourself, the job take almost all your time and give you less time to focus on other things which maybe productive to you.
However if I would quit my job today and take my trading life seriously I would be so happy because I would earn more though facing the market risk but it will give me diverse opportunity too and less stress to my health.
Thank you.
The key is to diversify while working for the man. Have a few gigs going and most importantly find what clicks inside you. If you have something others need then you are in business.
