My dream job is one where I have full control over my position, can make every business decision, can take a vacation whenever I want, and get all of the profits from my hard work. It also involves not having a manager or boss.<p>No matter how good my job is, if I'm not the one in control of my destiny, I won't be happy. I hate knowing that my boss/manager could potentially start making ridiculous decisions that I am forced to follow.<p>"I understand not every place is as flexible, but if you prove you are worth it, companies will let you make your own rules."<p>I've been in the computer industry for awhile and I have never worked for a company that allowed me to make my own rules. I suppose it's the equivalent of a prisoner being allowed to make their own rules in their cell.<p>"This means showing your passion, doing this work past 5 PM and generally progressing in time. Quit complaining and using execuses. You have plenty of time to get what you want, you just need to put in the effort and work."<p>I'm very passionate about my work, but I refuse to do any work for any employer past 5pm.<p>You can always earn more money. Time is something you will never get back.
