The idea of not having a job is not literal - there are reasons to have a job, just don't have the job (wage earners) mindset.
You should take a job for what you can LEARN, not what you earn, is a very valuable idea. Get a job in the industry that you want to develop a career in and learn from someone elses mistakes and make mistakes on someone elses time.
Working for someone else will let you into the business, teach you many valuable lessons - like the brothers above, and let you build capital for your future venture.
The other time I believe a job is good is when it is part time to pay the bills while you start a new venture.
Years ago I had a night shift job at a Broadband Internet service provider. I had a day business too - guess what it was? Computer consultant to small businesses.
I got the job to learn the new technology inside out to support my customers better, and hte side benefit was all the contacts I made plus the salary was very good.
Be creative with what you want, saying not ot have a job is not an excuse to be lazy, it is an excuse to work harder to break out of the 'average' life.
I use the same principles now that I have returned to full time acting and in the same way I am getting ahead.
