This is exactly how I feel. If I have to have a regular job for the rest of my life, I will be miserable. Clockin in, having to be there for a certain amount of hours before I can leave, having to answer to someone else who's telling me what to do, and not getting paid enough to even live on my own is not how I want to spend my life. I guess I just envy people who made a lot of money in a short amount of time who get to do what they want, when they want to, eg movie stars, rock stars, famous authors, people who started successful businesses that they sold for millions, etc...

It's not that I even want to be super rich, I just want freedom. Life is full of doing things that you have to do (at least for us normal people). I don't want that. I just want to do what I want to do. I know that's unrealistic, but it doesn't make the daily grind any easier to deal with. And I know the type of people I mentioned have their problems, too, but at least they don't have to work if they don't want to.

All I know is that I don't want "a job" for the rest of my life. I think the only way I'll ever be happy is to own my own business or do freelance work. I know that's a lot of hard work, too, but it's not actually working that's the problem, it's the having to be at "work" for a certain amount of hours and having to answer to a boss. I just want to be able to work on my own schedule and the amount of money I make be based on my own output, not the amount of time I'm clocked in at a place of employment.
