5 REALLY BIG Benefits of Having a Day Job!

Submitted by charlieaquino on Sep 2, 2009 – 10:34 pm2 Comments

work-for-money Warning: It’s not what you think it is…

For all my employed readers, here’s something you might find interesting to ponder upon. And it’s rather controversial.

I wouldn’t be surprised to get a few comments out of this. In fact I would love to hear your thoughts about this. So here it goes.

5 of the BEST benefits of having a day job.

  1. A monthly salary…
  2. A monthly salary…
  3. A monthly salary…
  4. A monthly salary…
  5. A monthly salary…

LOL, I think you get my point.

It seemed like an eternity already since I had a day job back in June 2008. And I was really trying to get my thoughts back again on the real benefits of having a day job. My conclusion…

A monthly salary…

Other than this, everything else is there just to keep you from leaving should you get another job opportunity offering a bigger salary.

Forget about company car, free gasoline, medical insurance, free training, etc. They are just a bunch of freebies to console you from what an 8-5 job is really stealing away from most of us.

  1. Time with family
  2. Time away from doing what you really love (assuming you know what you want and you know it’s not your job)
  3. Freedom to do the things that matter most in your life.

Now you ask. What about the possibility of achieving our dreams in life with your job?

I think many people have already come into terms with this. And I hope you do too.

Your job is only good to pay your bills not to build your fortune! And I repeat even that bolder this time.

Your job is only good to pay your bills not to build your fortune!

I don’t know about you but the world as we know it is changing and it is changing fast. Suddenly a safe and secure job like what our parents wanted for us is not true for most people anymore. Everyday people lose their jobs. And everyday some of those vacancies are never replaced. Responsibilities are absorbed by the ones left behind.

Indeed many more jobs are created but they are different than what we studied in school and many are left jobless and unqualified for the jobs that are open.

And I repeat my conclusion to this topic. The only real benefit a job gives you is a regular monthly salary. Other than that there is none. Not security, not free time, not even your dreams.

I you want to get more out of your life you better start thinking outside the box of your own cubicle and take charge if your own freedom.

We live in a world where freedom is not anymore in the hands of a good job opportunity but is earned from paying the price of constant self education and building your own business.

And that is what we want you to achieve here at cajammed. But that of course happens only if you are willing to pay the price.

Let me know you thoughts about this by leaving your comments below this post.

    Hahaha… Count me in… Quit my job last June ‘09. And as expected, many of my friends and relatives were shocked because of that decision. I can’t blame them because they all knew about the great benefits that my previous company were giving. But it really came to a point were I realized that 4 years of my life has been spent on building other people’s business and it’s about time to mind my own business. The funny thing really is the way other people look at it – the security that the company is giving versus the risks involve in having your own business. Well, as for me it’s better to try than not to try at all. So cheers to our freedom!

    Haha welcome to the club! What security? LOL!

    It’s people like you who take risks in life early on get to really live the future with no real “what-ifs” in your life. Congratulations Gab! Too freedom…
