Yeah, I’ve had “dream jobs”. One was at a major record label. Problem was they were still jobs and I’d still rather have been doing something else. Working for myself tuned out to be the most rewarding job.
all valid points! I've learned the same thing through the years. The best job is a) you are relatively good at it b) you don't hate it. It doesn't matter whether you love it or not. c) it pays you okay and it doesn't suck up all your time and effort. d) minimum bullshits. you can't expect no BS from a job. It's life.
So very very true. I'm a 68 years old ex-city-legal sec (I earned good money and was not worked to death by any means and quite liked it) BUT at age 40 RA hit and I had to step off the treadmill I had no choice - my working life was over for good. I'm now 68 and I am no worse off than all of my friends/acquaintances who have been working working working and working some more and quite a few have already passed away Noticed when I stopped working I stopped comfort shopping and trying to impress. As for achieving one's dream - I tried that BUT soon learnt that there was more to that than what meets the eye - so to speak .
My personal stress levels determine how successful I am in my career. Stress puts my mind in a fog, and makes me less capable of functioning successful. I am more likely to misread situations, overreact, think negatively, and feel like my life is pointless.
I'm at this intersection right now. I have an easy job that covers my bills. I can't save a lot to retire early with it. However, I'm able to be present for my kids as I am the only parent. I think I can make 12-15K a year more with my degree and intelligence. So I'm trying to decide: A. Stay where I am and improve my life in other categories. B. Find a job where I can maximize my earnings for the next 5 or so years. C. Find a dream job that I would enjoy. It's a blessing to have a choice, but it is a curse too!
I was successful in getting my dream job. It included a pay increase and a decrease in working ours also. The best thing I ever done. Go after your dream job.
Thank you for this lovely, life saving platinum message which will save us from getting that heart at my desk. I hate everyjob and would rather die than to do this dislikable painful job.
I've never had a job that I love. By the way, your Schwarzenegger accent sounded pretty good! LOL! Speaking of "hard work," it's funny how animals like deer, rabbits, and turtles don't go around telling each other to work hard.
Indeed - quiet quitting (or the German phrase: Dienst nach Vorschrift! - Translation: More or less sticking to what your employment contract says, nothing more, nothing less! So if the contract says 8-5 (with a one hour lunch-break!), then you leave at 5 - not 5:01 not 6 o'clock, no exatctly at 5 PM!) it is! Unless you have your own business, because then every hour spent on it pays off directly - working for somebody else does not, you don't get payed more because you left half an hour later...at best those hours will add up and you'll get a day off, which often is not helpful because more days off means more work piling up (because being understaffed is the new normal, so your co-workers don't have time to pick up your slack as well!)! It's a very vicious cycle!
In the 1980s it was called 'work to rule' - meaning, obeying the letter of the rules. Companies have abused people's inherent conscientiousness. Having been a victim to it, I now work for myself.
"If you dont care about your job youre not going to put your heart and soul into it, so you carnt get 100%. But if you have a job that you absolutely love, you will be able to push yourself beyond your limits" - Oh hell yeah, I have spent 8 years building a company with colleages and boy, the burnout is real. Working around the clock, investing too much time and energy into the job because I love it so much. I just got a massive raise following a merger, but recently I decided to work towards coasting because I have been feeling burned out for 6+ months now. I have to ease down slowly though or people will notice if I stop working my ass off suddenly. I like the job, I want to keep doing it, but I am absolutely aiming to coast and spend more time on family and hobbies.
I needed to watch this! My whole working life i stayed in min wage jobs, because i was waiting, looking for my dream job before i invested myself. ten yrs o disability later, im planning on taking a course which will enable me to be self-employed and earn 2x min wage at part-time hours, assuming i get 100+ returning customers within every 10 week cycle (which is THE scary variable to me) My previous wage-slave working environments contributed to my ill-health, so self-employment is foundational to rebuilding my independence. But although its a job i should be competent at and maybe enjoy some aspects and give the benefits im most looking for, it is not my dream job. I have a historic tendency to put up blocks and sabotage my efforts at improving my circumstances, wanting the perfect XD
I hated college for the reasons you touched on. Had to dump 100% into 5h@t I couldn't care less about it, and then my core curriculae performance suffered immensely.
The design was failing in pre-production test. I was asked to find the problem and get it fixed. It was easy to find; they violated every industry guideline and standard in the book. I wrote a 50 page report outlining the mistakes and how to fix it. But the answer made the management chain look incompetent, so I was fired because it embarrassed my manager. In fact those were the exact words used in the HR meeting. If your dream job is in a multi-billion dollar company, get another job or another dream.
@@TomScryleus I am only spending approximately one third of what i earn currently in a part time job I do not like and avoiding excessive and unnecessary spending (eg minimalism) to create a financial cushion meaning I will have enough money to quit in the foreseeable future enabling me to have more time to learn new skills or invest in ways of making money. The hard part for me is exactly that - I love languages and in the next few years aim to become fluent to a high standard so I have a skill I know people will pay me for in the future which is one way I am no longer dependent entirely on an employer in making money. However, I still need to find a way to grow other passive income streams and only have shares which provide passive income atm. However, I am refusing to just accept the miserable 9-5pm existence everybody is telling me to follow for the rest of my life even though it is slow baby steps in finding a way to escape.
@@TomScryleus Thank you - I know it will not happen overnight and might take a decade of careful setbacks and progress but starting in my 20s with a rough plan is better than to not start at all - following yt channels such as this is also great inspiration
Great video and correct! I think daily how I can work for myself FROM HOME! I have done blogging, RU-vid, but none of these are paying the bills. Tired of the grind for someone else, micromanagers, traffic, long hours, etc etc. I have been leaving work at end of day and not sticking around. This has helped a lot.
Been there burnt out of that dream job. Now back in school so I can get a job with good work life balance. Also, think I got triggered a couple years ago from one of your videos and you gave me an internet hug lol sorry about that.
Great video and I agree with the points you made! I also really like that plug to sign up to your newsletter at the end of the video ;) And yeah, you should forget having the dream job, and instead focus on building the dream life- whatever that means to you, and whatever way you want to build it
newsletter is still in early stages. based on the script for the video. I'm hoping the newsletter will transform to something more interesting. ps. New video coming out today
i appreciate you saying you don't want to hire people. that frames your position so well. i brought this up with another youtuber the other day. his position was to become a boss to escape wage slavery.... but to me THAT is just becoming a Wage MASTER. i stated my position and he thoroughly disagreed. -- cruising at a stressless job is my goal. it gives me time and energy like you said. my PROBLEM.... i don't have anything i want to spend all the time and energy on 😅
wow when you said about you don't want to hire people... it's in line wih understanding of Karma, making karmic debts and so on... did not expect it here, but it's an ideal to keep to .
I have made a video specifically about that: Start a One Man Company - To Escape Wage Slavery Forever ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-31c6QsKGYLs.html
I’m in my ‘dream job’. Work all hours. Good wage. But my boss is an asshole. I’m looking at other similar opportunities. But they’re not there. So I’m stuck. I cannot just LEAVE. My job pays for a roof over my head and food in my belly. Practicalities have to be met.
I've been telling people this same thing since the early 90's! There's no such animal, vegetable or mineral known as a "dream job!" It's absolutely staggering how many millions of Americans are stupid enough to buy into this scam. Companies hire "expendable assets" and the moment they know you no longer earn them money - you're out!
Hey Tom, thank you so much for opening my eyes. I watched a lot of your videos and I really hope to get an answer for my decision and the answer to my question: does this count to becoming a union secretary/worker too? Even just for making saving up to escape wage slavery and make connections along the way? It would change my life to the core though
Take out da papers and the traaash, or else you'll get no spending caaash. If you don't scrub dat kitchen flooor, you ain't gonna rock 'n' roll no mooore. Yakety Yak, Yakety Yak, Yakety Yak!

Colleague's daughter was mad about horses. Every waking moment was dedicated to obtaining more time with horses. This guy,/daughter were not super wealthy - I think if you help at stables you get opportunities to ride etc. Anyway, the girl decided she wants to be a vet. This way she is paid to work with horses 👍 A few years pass and dad (my colleague) asks - you should be applying to vet school soon, the deadline is earlier than other courses? No, I changed my mind. I'm going to be an actuary. I get paid well so I can afford my own horse. That is work smart not hard thinking
we're not going to escape the wage slave nightmare!the only time that we'll escape it,is when there's a coffin on the table and we're inside it!nine to five minimum wage drudgery is for life,not just for Christmas day and boxing day as well!
Keep in mind that RU-vid still has a rich company owner. If you're goal is to create video content, don't put all your eggs in one basket and become chained to RU-vid. RU-vid also has competitors such as Rumble and Odysee.
@@TomScryleusGood to hear! I'm also building many passive incomes streams online! I simply recently realized that RU-vid has the video content monopoly. I don't want to be chained to RU-vid even though I really appreciate their service.

I used to work for people who started up from nothing, then built, reinvested in their own companies. They were the owners. I was the hired help. Easy enough to comprehend.
yeah well and the alternative is being forced to work extra hours not really having a choice in how you can spend your time, not being able to say no without jeopardizing your job. Jobs in general are wage slavery, its just your choice if you want to do it willingly or not.
Been there, got the t-shirt. It's hell. Working 12 hours a day. No boundaries are respected - weekends, holidays etc. Got paid a lot (six-figure GBP p.a.), but it was hell. Never again. Today I earn less than 50 per cent, but I'm self-employed and it is sustainable.
Which spouse? I made a large detour around having a girlfriend (never wife! You would have to put a gun to my head to make me accept marriage and I'll be in court soon after, having that anulled!) for a while now, as spouse and especially kids trap you in the rat race, just like having a large mortgage does! If you have no wife, no kids, no house people find it way harder to force you to say work unpaid overtime!
How about this: Find a career you like (meaning: executing the tasks involved feels natural to you) and pursue it. No matter if it's as an employee or a freelancer. And just work your 40 hours or as many freelancing hours you need to pay the bills, invest 500€/$ per month and finance your private life. Your advice to "not pursue a dream job" sounds really bitter and simplistic, as if all people were hamsters without self-control. You seem to be addicted to your own dream job as well, even without the "wrapping" in your videos. Should you quit then?
Dreams jobs are amazing lol it’s good make your salary invest most of it, keep working in the end you have enough money for a retirement. What’s best than that? If it’s a dream job must pay well
depends really how you use the plattform. for example, I have a video on a different channel thats 6 years old. Its been generating 20dollars per month for the past 6 years. By using both adsense, and affiliate links. the video took me 40 min to make. Now try to calculate the hourly wage on that work.
