Society says you should work 50 hours a week until you're close to death. Society says you should buy a house and cars and expensive things, but then your bills tie you to your job and you don't have the freedom to enjoy your possessions like you want to. Society says you should wake up at 5am to commute to your cubicle to devote your life to being a cog in a corporate empire you don't give a shit about, then return home too tired to do anything but watch an episode of American Idol, pay your bills, eat a T.V. Dinner, and pass out and get ready for work the next day.

Religion says you should accept your crappy life because you will go to a better place when you die. Religion was invented by Kings who wanted to keep their peasants obedient.
Society says we should do all these, but who is it up to in the end....us. We choose wether or not we work 50,60 hours a week, we choose wether we continue or education and work for a "career" that we "want" to do. Now i know people and i have friends who went both ways. Some hate their jobs some dont, my job will offer me opportunities to do exciting things at work, work with children and make a differance. I can live with that and enjoy it.
