I am doing it right now and changed to jobs, until I found a great place. I am living with my fiance rn in a flat, without parents. Before this, I changed two jobs, I was It Specialist(anykey) in Vet clinic and a packer at a pharmacy. Both places I didn't like and now I am a system administrator at insurance company. I like what I am doing and people I work with.
Another example is my father, he changed his job less than a month ago. He found a better job, where they paying him ~30% more for less work. He wasn't changing his workplace for 10 years, but he was getting more and more duties for the same payment. So I don't understand why people complain about labour. If you are not forced to work under a threat of death, you can always leave. It's your choice to stay.
Do tell - who paid for you to acquire the know-how that made you qualified for this role, eh? What's the ROI for the people that made this expensive investment in your education?
Oh yes... do bring more people into this conversation that completely bucked "rational self-interest" for your sake - I'm sure this will go really well for your argument.
In my case government paid for the fisrt half and the other half is student loan I am paying rn. I pay the bank and government with taxes.
I am providing examples of this happening in my life, that's why I know this is real for a fact. I have done this and saw people do this. Why wouldn't it go well for my argumentation?
Should you believe in this? Probably no, at least I wouldn't. You have your own examples and you believe in them more, than some stranger on the internet(great job, that's how you should behave)
Ooooh... the ghost of Ayn Rand is bitterly disappointed in you.
And why would her ghost be disappointed in me? In her philosophy government exists and continue to exist. It would take a lot of time to reform. I am seeing with my own eyes, that without "government approved" education I can't get work in my country /:
