Why I Hate School But Love Education

The American't Dream

Let's play a game

You guess who used to work at the Gap: Kanye West

Guess, who used to sell hot dogs at the Mall: Eva Mendes

I heard President Andrew Johnson was a tailor

George Washington was a surveyor

Herbert Hoover was an engineer

Theodore Roosevelt was a rancher

And President Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer

Hugh Jackman who plays Wolverine was a clown

But look who's laughing now

You know what I noticed about successful people?

Successful people take a course of action, which coincides with their belief or passion

Put your hand up, if you work a 9 to 5 or 5 to 9

Or just any job, which you don't enjoy

But takes up half your time.

Well hopefully in a couple weeks, months, days, years' time

You'll be able to come back to this video, hear that first line

And keep your hand down

Because how many times have you visualized

Taking the pen from the manager's desk

Or the one that cashier keeps behind the till

The one your supervisor places strategically in their hair

Or the one the security guard keeps behind his ear for extra intimidation in writing your resignation

Because there's nothing wrong with making a honest living

But be honest, are you honestly living?

With this menial job which allows you just to stay afloat

Yes, a job, a J-O-B

Which leaves you just over broke every single month

Living your life just for the weekend

Living life just on the weekend

Because the other five days belong to your manager

You see there's a big difference between a job and a career

Because in the career, no matter how many hours you work

You do it because it's satisfactory

But in a job you do it for a salary

Because you're stuck in the rat race

And you know being stuck in the rat race is one of the biggest of traps

Because as a matter of fact, even if you win the rat race

You're still just a rat.

See I understand the need to have a job temporarily

But pursue a career eventually.

Because in my J-O-B, I used to sell at least 200 shoes a day

And none of that was ever reflected in my pay
