By way of my real estate career I had to mow lawns for the longest time. We still do and at this time it's just me because the labor required to do this work is way to smart for me to employ. I say we just because my family backs me up 100%.
People commonly ask: "Why don't' you hire more workers?" or, "How many people work for you?"
Been there done that and if you think you are going to reinvent the wheel on this one your not. Actually...only I have the ONE breakthrough idea on this and unless someone offers me $100, 000 I am not giving it up..MUahaha! In my Austin Powers voice.
The point is help for the help of help sake is fine but employing someone in a task a non thinking robot can do is pointless. In fact the person doing the labor is so sophisticated and so much smarter than the machine they will end up sabotaging the unit or quitting out of boredom anyways....
Which brings me to the Big Idea. If you are bored or you don't think you are getting paid well enough than do something extraordinary, something you believe in (without malice or malicious intent)
You will be more likely to get hired...because you did something extraordinary!
Chances are you will NOT get the axe either, here's why: If you do something off the beaten path, unless your boss does not like you or some company that is like google or apple...that is way bigger than the government anyways, then these characteristics are praised or applauded. You may even be in for a raise.
If not, there are way too many jobs out there for anyone looking to start over. Because that's what you wanted to do anyways. So next time you get that raise and/or you've created that new job for someone else to build that widget...thank you inner awesomeness!
Look the Real E-state of the matter is that jobs are everywhere but are not moving as fast as the total cost of living. And the jobs are bottomless pits unless you are really excited about them. So go do something you are really excited about...like running for Congress so you can increase the minimum wage to $20/Hr so you can finally afford a home to ACTUALLY LIVE IN AND ENJOY.
