    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    That's funny, I just started my first new job after college as a junior developer, and I was pretty luck to get hired even though I didn't know much about programming to start with. Right now the company is paying me good money to train me and let me learn, and I'd say that like you, I do enjoy...

    My generation is the most indebted, least productive, most dependent generation ever, I wouldn't say we are the most entitled generation since we still got the boomer generation ahead of us. Funny thing is people keep saying my generation is going to doom this country, but what is happening now...

    Great interview, I like the part where he says that when you do what you do like that, you don't feel like you are working everyday.

    Exactly, results driven work is pretty common in the IT industry, since programming is a type of creative work. There are plenty of software guys that hacks most of their code during midnight hours, do you make them go to work at that hour, or you let them work their thing and be happy that they...

    Get used to it, majority of this generation's workers hates a set working hours, this does not mean they won't put in their hours and do hard work, people do, they just don't like a set hours. Give them flexibility on your terms is a lot easier to manage than for the employees to request them on...

    In fact I bought a book called " The society construction of reality", It's a book that was written in 1966 but it was way way ahead of its times and I think the book captures what you are saying here

    Well we now have the extreme version of the creating artificial needs part of every single central bank of the world printing money that doesn't exist to boost the failing economies.

    I just finished the book "Mindset" and from now on I am tossing aside the word "Talent", it's a word for the average people to feel better about themselves and just another excuse to not put any effort into things.

    That doesn't mean we can not make products that actually helps them. Every generation's wealth producers came to this dilemma before, and there are people in every generation that answers to this question, using the same fastlane formula. It's just that not many people in our times have...

    Sounds like stoicism to me, as I had my navy boot camp training years ago and I can relate to his concepts. But really how many people in the world can do that? Very few.

    Working a Slowlane Job, Need a Car by April - Is Leasing the Way To Go?

    SLOWLANE 
    A business degree is not worthless, and your sales job? Worth gold right now, because machines can not replace a great salesman, not in a thousand years. Don't worry about how much you are selling but focus on learning how to sell, you are gonna need it later anyways.

    Exactly, then they don't want to spend time and effort into areas that are actually in high demand and good pay like computer/it or engineering because it's such a pain in the a$$ to learn in the first place, so it's much easier for people of my generation to look for handouts. Just look at how...

    Working a Slowlane Job, Need a Car by April - Is Leasing the Way To Go?

    SLOWLANE 
    DO NOT LEASE, you will die before you lease a car! The worse way to own a car is to lease it. I suggest continue living with your parents, nothing wrong with that, especially if you are saving your earnings from the job to fund your fastlane project, most people in Asia don't live their family's...

    Habits of The Sidewalk

    The first non-brainer step to get off the sidewalk mentality is shut off the tv and pick up a book, very easy to do for most people. I think I get angry now if I watch too much advertising on tv because how blatantly wrong their messages are.
