Going to Work
If I have to go to work, I won’t be able to develop any of my interests. My interests include physics, English, conversation, and education, among others.
No matter what talents you have, you can’t do anything that surpasses your boss’s intelligence. In other words, if you’re doing an ordinary job, you can’t fully utilize your talents. So, if you want to make the most of your abilities, you need to find a boss who is smarter than you.
(Kon: Or alternatively, find a boss who doesn’t micromanage you and uses a highly autonomous management style.)
If that’s the case, it means that boss likely has a lot of wisdom. So, this isn’t much different from my first point: “Find a boss smarter than you.”
If you can’t find a boss smarter than yourself, the only option is to become self-employed. When you’re self-employed, you can’t directly learn new things from others. But at least, no one will ruin the results of your work.
The nature of self-employment is that, if you succeed, you’ll have many customers (bosses). If one customer (boss) stops hiring you, you still have other customers (bosses). The advantage of self-employment is that, if successful, you won’t be laid off or suddenly lose your job.
The downside of self-employment is that it requires an enormous amount of knowledge. Moreover, the income at the start is almost zero: you’ll have to live in poverty for the first year.
