Work, Work, Work...And More Work?

I'm tired of working

9 to 5
Monday through Friday
40 hours, 5 days a week

That's what we're told to do.

I wonder why in other countries a 4 and 3 day work week is acceptable?
I wonder why other countries pay their citizens to Live and nourish the economy?
I wonder why the country I Live in does not see this and take pointers?

What's the point of working majority of my Life and not having much time to be with my family and Loved ones?
Coworkers suddenly become family and Loved ones by default.

Sometimes, like today, it bothers me that majority of my time is spent in a warehouse and in a tractor.  I've worked other jobs at full time and the story is the same.  I would Love part time hours but I can't maintain rent, credit, phone and internet on that budget...especially the rent part.

If I could have a way I wouldn't work.  Sometimes I wonder what's the point of it?

You need a service?  I can perform that for a fee.  Cool, I get that.  But what if I want my Life to not be holed up to a job?  How can one person achieve what he or she wants in Life when suddenly, this service I'm performing for you and your needs "BOSS" becomes a slave labor.

This is full time hours but...what's this check looking like?  Why is it that you're making this HUGE profit off of my labor and only give me and my coworkers barely anything to Live off of?  And trust and believe, you're profit can feed the planet.  Starving kids in Africa, America and Mexico would be well nourished off the profit you're making from my labor but you continue to give me the scraps of the hardship of my labor that I'm giving you.

What's the compensation to all this?

Go to college, get in debt with no guarantee that you will even get into the field you spent half a decade towards?

Why does college have to be soo expensive also?  Why in other countries, college it is free or WAAAY cheaper?  Yet, in this country, at any college, you spend the same amount of money for a house towards tuition and then a mortgage for books each semester.  Ok, financial aid is available but from my own experience and others who graduated, everything is not paid for.  Almost only partially paid for.  Wouldn't mind higher taxes of it meant College would be free...I wonder what a High School tuition would be if it wasn't part of the taxes we pay during each paycheck?

Something is not adding up to me.  It's like everything needed has this incredible price.  There's supply and demand but CAN I LIVE?  Can I get paid enough where I can meet all my necessary expenses at ANY job?  Can I not have to worry about each months rent?  I'm saving my coins but can I not always be tempted to want to dip in my savings just to survive?

Is there a problem with giving back to our communities?
Why do the poor have to continously pay the rich to Live?
Am I suppose to be a politician or high ranking officer and get into a sweet embezzlement scheme?
Do my needs mean nothing?
What's the middle ground for high class, middle class, low class and no class?
How can we all win?
What can we do?
What could we do?
What should we do?
What is there to do?

I just want everybody out here to win on our own terms and have a chance to succeed in their own field.  Why can't we work, play and focus on our passion?  Is it wrong for people to want that and to be like that?

It's time for a change in this nation and I would like to see it soon.
