Thinking About Jobs
Cafe Hayek: “People talk of ‘jobs’ as if these are ends in themselves — as if jobs are goods, rather than bads. But jobs are bads — or, more precisely, they’re costs. A job is the necessary effort each of us must put forward in order to acquire purchasing power. (Yes, yes, I know that there are genuine non-economic aspects of jobs. But clearly these aspects are peripheral. If they were central, few people would worry about how much money they’re paid; few people would worry about the effects on wages of increased foreign competition or of changes in technology.)”

The internet gives many people new hope that they will be able to achieve self-employment and create income streams that give them time and money freedom.
I know that feeling!
