People these days want to go home after work, eat their cheeseburgers and watch shitty reality TV more than they want to better themselves by going to the gym, read a book or three, and study what their government is doing to screw up the country so they can fight back with their voices, votes, and dollars. And can you hardly blame them sometimes when, for example, I work for a really micro-managing, shitty boss that is one of the most greedy people that I've ever met? This guy owns the business and comes in to tell me that I need to work 3 times my salary. I say this because sadly, the good managers and bosses are few and far between. And when you're paid way under what your worth in a market that has an overpopulation of young professionals, you don't have a lot of choice. Not that I'm saying I don't try to better myself because of my job, but it's pretty disheartening when getting abused at your job in some way shape or form is considered "The American Dream."
