ah the rat race.
The term used by many people, describing the constantly cycle of getting up to work, to then eat, shower, sleep then go to work yet again.
being a student, I'm somewhat sheltered from the everyday needs of going to work. Yes I don't get a lot of money from my student finance, but when i do get a job i normally just spent it on student things, going out, clothes etc
and who wouldn't?
Being a student is the only time you get to be an adult and not have to worry about working all the time.
It however being the summer, && having 3 months of nothing to do, I decided to get a job at a posh establishment (mentioned in a previous blog post)
For 1 week i got to... Live && Breathe what many people would call the
"rat race"
and you know what?
I hated it
waking up at 6am to get home for 7pm, to then eat, shower then pass out. I was so exhausted that by the time my head hit the pillow, it was time to wake up again and go back to work!
Now I'm in the position that, yeah the wages are rubbish but the money i earn i get to keep for myself. However if i actually had to pay for my uni rent, I would have to work 2weeks to just afford the rent.
Then i thought to myself...
When i finish my degree, & get a job, my life will consist of working to pay bills. Because that's what "were meant to do right?"
On a final note...
Most of us have been brought up to go to school, get a degree and get a good job.
We have always been told to get a good job "working for someone else"
Am i the only one that finds that concept slightly depressing?
I am not surprised many young women, aspire to be WAGS or marry rich men.
It sounds a lot glamorous then what they would have to do if they didn't have men with deep pockets.
Conclusion?
need to create a business (y)
do i have any idea how?
not really.
dreaming about my own business is better than accepting a life working for someone else?
defiantly.
