Well I do feel like we are institutionalized but it comes from the media and the images we see on tv. The uber happy people who work all day on tv etc. Also there is no education at all as to starting your own business. I always wanted to do that (and I still might) but it is extremely hard to do that when you don't know what you are doing. I think the truth is that the rich people of the world have that knowledge and that is why they are rich and happy. And they contribute to this idea that you should go to work for someone else.
For instance I wanted to rent out properties... and I got the job to do that(to get money)...but it is almost impossible to do that AND work. If there is a problem at a rental property I am at work and can't just leave to fix problems. Never mind all the time I have to take off to make the sale go through.
Just once I tried to purchase a foreclosure and work and it was a nightmare. They were demanding time from me every 10 minutes. In the end the sale feel through and I was not my workplaces' favorite person.
I also hate that there is so much wasted time at work. I could get my job done in about 6 hours... but for some reason I have to stay 8.
