That is actually pretty sound thinking and planning. Entrepreneurship is the way to go at the moment. And with today's world inundated with tech, computer savvy people will go a long way in being successful in their own businesses.

The future doesnt augur well with jobs.

Lower pays, higher costs of living.
Stricter appraisals, less chance of promotions.
Curtailing expenses (to the point of being absurd), exploiting the employees.

Sooner than later, jobs will start to become thankless. And that itself will become a big de-motivator.

I am interested in hearing from other people who are in jobs at the moment.

NE? Flayed? I know Cheebs quit his job with Playstation recently. Anyone else?
