Why I won't Get a Job
So I have been thinking lately about my life and the direction I should try to take. I was thinking about majors and career possibilities when it dawned on me, why bother working at all?
Think about it. How many people do you know? How many of these people are really incredibly nice? I was figuring about 20 percent of all Americans are genuine good-hearted people, and about a quarter of those people are probably just too nice for their own good. That means that approximately five percent of Americans are this ridiculous kind of nice. The way I figure it is that any of these people would give somebody a dollar out of their pocket if they were asked nicely enough. Well, there are roughly 280 million people in America, and according to my calculations that would make approximately 14 million people who are just waiting to do a good and kind deed. If each one of these people would give me just one dollar I would be set for life! You might be wondering how I am going to find and contact all of these people and convince them to give me that dollar, well keep wondering (if you figure it out you can just run the idea by me and I'll tell you if it's right or not).
So then I was planning what I would do with my 14 million dollars and 70 years that I wouldn't need to spend working. I didn't get very far, so I'm pretty open to suggestions there too.

I'll give you a dollar if thats what you want lol. I can give you way more but if it's just a dollar lol. Maybe we should all go on that quest. Look for the kindest people around...ah how hard is that to find genually kind people? Kinda hard but not impossible. Well hope you find enough people! Count me on it! hehe

I already did this about 4 years ago. I made $8.
That's a shame. Only 8 locatable people in the world nice enough to give a dollar to a great cause? What is the world coming to.
Probably most of you who read this thought something like "that lazy idiot, he should get a job like any decent citizen and stop begging." You, however, have greatly misjudged me! It is really an act of self sacrifice. The economy is sagging these days and there really aren't enough jobs to go around. I figure that for just a one dollar donation from all the nicest people in America I will withdraw from the job market, thereby allowing someone to support themselves and a family. I will do my part to allow those less fortionate and less educated than myself to thrive and survive in the land of the free. The fourteen million dollars is just a nice bonus.
I think it's pretty ironic that in a sentence talking about people less educated then yourself you spelled the word "fortionate."
It is certainly ironic, but I never claimed that it takes much to be more educated than me! Probably there aren't too many people in America with less education than me, but these are the people we need to look out for! You know, the immigrants that can't even read, the new born babies that can't even talk yet, the down syndrom patients, these are the people who I am leaving one more job for.
