There are times that everyone hates his or her job. Were they freed from the economic consequences of having these jobs, they'd drop out of the workforce. There are only two problems with this strategy: First, someone has to pay for it; second, it is not the recipe for human fulfillment.

It's better not to work than to work in something you don't want to be working in.

The conventional viewpoint says we need a jobs program and we need to cut welfare. Just the opposite! We need more welfare and fewer jobs.

To do work that's not going to be fulfilling doesn't make sense.

No one wants to lose their job, or cede the power they've acquired.

People often think that losing your job is one of the worst things that can happen to someone. And, in some cases, that might be true. But for me, unemployment can be the time and the motivation to finally go after my goals.

Most people spend their whole lives looking for the right job. There are others who never get an opportunity to do work that fulfils them.

The best way to lose a job is just not to care. When you do not care, it shows in everything you do.

You can make more money on unemployment than you can going down and getting one of those jobs that is an honest job, but it doesn't pay as much. And so, that's what's happened to us is that we have put in so much entitlement into our government, that we really have spoiled our citizenry and said you don't want the jobs that are available.

Taking a pay cut won't demotivate me, not at all. It's not about money in the first place. It's about the job.
