Yeah it is crazy but most people are programmed to think that it is their only option. Get a job working for someone else and stick to it no matter what while they have control over your life.

I came in to say this pretty much. I hated the feeling of being stuck in the rat race like everyone else and having bosses that completely disrespected you and you couldn't do much about it because bills still need to be paid and you need to eat. The best option is to become your own boss and find some way to become self employed.
There is a sense of freedom being able to create your own hours and wake up when you are ready not when you HAVE to just to slave away for someone else that signs your checks.
