Jobs are a part of life. Maybe you've heard of the concept. It's called work? See, what happens is that you suffer through doing annoying and humiliating things until you get paid not enough money. Like those Japanese game shows, only without all the glory.

About This Quote

When we were young we were told that we should work hard to get ahead. However, our parents and teachers never explained how many hours of work we would have to put in to obtain that paycheck. The only thing we were told is that we should never complain and that, if we do, then we will be taken away from our homes and made slaves for the rest of our lives. As much as we hate to admit it, jobs are a part of life and yes, they can be done in such a way that they make you feel like a slave.
