RE: We Are Not Our Jobs

That would be in the very distant future if ever. Even being a youtuber isn't a common term yet and 2 billion people are using the damn platform. Try saying you're a youtuber in a social gathering when asked what you do and see the reactions. You might as well say you're unemployed. Both will get you the looks like you're some kind of failure. Anything that doesn't fit into the "go to work in the morning, come home in the evening" mold is frowned upon in general.

Yes, I know how a lot of people can’t wrap their head around this new world and the opportunities it presents to make $.

I’ve been telling people about projects like Steemit and Presearch, but it can be a tough sell. I think a lot of people have a hard time wrapping their head around the fact they can make $ blogging. It sort of sounds too good to be true to them. The thing that gets me is that I would expect that sort of attitude from someone who is older and isn’t tech savvy, but I even get that attitude from the young guys as well.

It just goes to show you just how behind the times our public education system really is!
