well, see what his response is as he sits in his
chair and gives me his words of advice while he
is on the clock.
Professional athletes, musicians
and actors are all considered blow off jobs. Although
they play a sport well, or guitar, or sleep with
the right people, all they are really doing is
using their natural talents and are earning big
bucks for it. I wasn't born with the ability to
play sports real well, I can't act, and I would
rather hear cats drowning than me singing. But
that's ok, I can admit that. What really aggravates
me about these three professions though is not
only do these people just use natural talents
to earn money, but they think they are influential
to the population because they are so powerful,
although they were proven wrong in the 2004 election.
That's what you get though if you're a liberal.
Internet gurus are complete blow
off jobs. Take Eric Bauman from Ebaumsworld.com.
He started a website about funny stuff and now
he's a multimillionaire. Also sites like CollegeHumor.com
and Fark.com also make very nice livings because
they started their websites. Marc Cuban made one
billion dollars of his sell of radio.com to Yahoo.
I should have started some plain name website
and sold it for one billion dollars. Also the
guy, who owned the name Business.com, didn't even
have any content on it sold it for like seven
million dollars. To bad I was young around the
dot com boom or I would have bought AntiLiberal.com.
Therapists make a bunch of money
as well to sit around and tell you why you're
all messed up. Honestly why would anyone want
to listen to another human being tell you what's
wrong with you and pay a lot of money. There is
no better job, criticize people and get paid.
Then you could take it to even a further extent,
look at Dr. Phil he's got his own show, books
and Oprah behind his back. All he does is tell
you how to fix your problems. Is it really that
hard? Usually if I just think for a few minutes
I can find the source and solution to my problems.
I guess most people just feel the need to pay
someone for their humanistic advice. But heck
it's just another blow off job and if it's yours
then you are quite happy I'm sure.
Don't get me wrong, I am not criticizing
the jobs above and I could list many more that
are "blow-off". Some people just get
lucky and others work very hard for where they
are. Some jobs need a lot of brain cells; others
just require a big penis (look at Ron Jeremy).
