[quote:Anonymous Coward 49575588:MV8yNDk2MDU1XzQzMDY5NzIzX0M3RDNCMEY3] [quote:grimloche:MV8yNDk2MDU1XzVBQ0E0RTFB] I work all day, come home, and all I read is horrifying things about the world. I'm making almost no money. How is 12 hours possibly worth $90? My time is worth more than that. Why should I give my time away for money that has no backing, so that the powers at be can just ass ram me forever? Why aren't we fighting back? Why are we killing ourselves slowly with shit jobs? No matter how much I meditate, how much fun I attempt to have, it always comes back around to remembering that oh yeah, we're living in hell on Earth RIGHT NOW. [/quote] While I agree with and relate to some of what you said, I must point out that practically everyone on earth thinks their time is special and somehow should be worth more than they are paid. Unfortunately, there are 7 billion+ people on earth who are competing for resources (usually purchased with money). Due to the existence of markets, no matter how convoluted or corrupt they may be, this means the compensation for your time is based on what other people with similar skills are paid. So in simple terms, if you think you're worth more, get off your ass and get an education (or continue your education), take some training courses, or figure out other ways to make yourself more marketable to an employer.
