Today is the day I have realised, on an emotional level, how much my time matters.

I have realised today how much of a scam jobs are.

I'm 24 years old, and I'm self employed. I earn £20k after taxes, I only work for about an hour a day Monday to Sunday.

I'm applying for some accounting jobs, and for £24k salary I have to spend 8 hours of my time.

Keep in mind, that's before taxes, that £24k is going to become about £17k after taxes.

So for less than 2x the income I have to work 8x as hard.

I haven't bothered to apply for jobs because my gigs right now is going so well, but I figured "why not start a career? get into the professional workplace environment?"

I do not want to start a career. I rather become a self-employed tax accountant.
