Damn, it's pretty crazy how far we've come considering how nobody has wanted to work anymore for over a century

It's sort of true, but not in the way they mean it. Most people don't want to work or they would never retire. But we're also mostly willing to work. Even work really difficult and/or dangerous jobs.

The important part is why. I love tinkering with computers and I will probably do so forever. Working for someone isnt a big deal IF people can actually not piss me off for half a day so I can actually get work done.

This always works for 6-12 months until someone decides I need to become more „flexible“ now and everything goes to shit.

Thats why self employment works best for me. I do what I can do best and you stand around at the coffee machine with your buddies (you as in people, not you specifically).
