Actually Shasah, I'd wager to say most people who own businesses (and I know cuz I've done both --business and jobbing) are the worst of slaves to their businesses. I even know some business owner slaves that work 16 hour days, 6 days a week. Yes there is this sort of giddiness some people have over reading Steve's railing against jobs. (and I have to admit he does it better than anyone I know) But I really think most people have not the slightest idea the utter commitment it takes to run a successful business.

Steve's cool railing against jobs cuz Steve can start a business with his eyes closed and he'll make it work. But not so for most people. At least based on current evidence, which is all the evidence there is to go by.

That said, I also get riled by people who complain about their jobs incessantly. People who can't wait for Friday and hate Sunday nights cuz it's a few hours before Monday. Staying (long term anyway) in a job you hate is an abomination, whorring one's soul to satisfy the desires of capitalism.
