A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video by Mark Evans DM debating what it means to be "rich" or "successful" and questioning the common admonition to "go get a real job." The speakers note that people often use phrases like "real job" without defining them and contrast mid-20th-century employment norms (staying with one company for decades) with modern shorter tenures.
I talk about this in Magician versus Mule Thought Auditing.
What does rich mean? What does successful mean? None of these guys ever stop and.
Ask, go get a real job. What does a real job even mean?
They don't know how to define it.
They just know how to say it.
So not only that, a real job.
To Grandma, Grandpa, mom and dad looks way different than it did today.
So back in.
The 60s, it was.
Very noble to.
Stay with the company for 30, 40 years.
Now they can barely.
Stay three or four minutes.
So it's like, what does.
Real job even mean?
