Quit blogging and find a job
October 13, 2008
I was sitting at my kitchen table, drinking a good cup of Plain Joe Coffee while reading a bunch of blog posts put up by the GenY generation. This economy is the Boomer’s fault, old people greed, they are saddling us with debt, I can’t pay my rent cause I have so much student loan debt, blah, blah, blah.
I’m terribly sorry you feel that way, but here is a tip from one old guy: quit blogging about your whiny little feelings and get another job! We did. We worked our regular job in the daytime and pulled a second shift at Burger King.
Dreaming of blogging for a living is like buying lottery tickets. Only a few folks ever get enough traffic to attract advertisers, but we have a whole generation yapping off on a one-way conversation, trying to scream louder than everyone else. Pick me, pick me!!
The blogging for money phase is over. If you are dreaming of a job philosophizing in a coffee shop and writing about it, forget it. There is always one blogger out there who has already said what you are thinking and has blogged about it ten minutes ago.
Get a job instead. And buy more coffee so you can stay awake.
