The hardest workers get the smallest pay. ( lemmy.world )

This is big time misinformation.

This is looking at the current and forgetting how hard the billionaire worked to get where they are over many decades.

Only time this is accurate is if they are a trust fund kid that is draining the funds and not adding back to society.

For the purposes of those reading this, if your goal is wealth through capitalism, you need to ignore them anyways.

TL/DR: You need to hustle but do it in your own business, not building someone else’s. Just prepare for 16 hour work days for little pay for at least a couple years to get the business off the ground.

But I don’t want to hustle 16-hour days to make it. I want to be at peace and keep teaching kids.

I am leaving the job because it doesn’t pay enough though. Rent for a studio in the city I work for would consume more than 50% of my income. They need people to teach their kids, but I’m priced out of the very city I serve.

The world has enough resources already produced to feed, clothe, and house every person on earth. What’s the point of working yourself ragged just so you can have what is already available sitting somewhere unused.
