So You Quit Your Job? Get Ready to Work 10x Harder
Escaping the 9–5 is not some universal fix to all your problems.
Waking up at noon, drinking overpriced coffee in a European cafe, and checking your “passive income streams” on your phone.
It’s a vision sold by self-proclaimed entrepreneurs.
The same people whose only actual skill is taking selfies in front of rented Lamborghinis.
Nobody tells you that escaping the 9–5 often means working 24/7.

Goodbye 9–5, Hello 24/7
Here’s what actually happens when you escape the so-called rat race:
You become THE RAT.
At a regular job, you get to clock out. You can complain about Karen from HR and then go home to watch TV shows in peace.
But when you work for yourself, you live at work. There’s no escape.
Your phone is now your boss, and it has no chill.
Emails at 11 PM? Absolutely.
“Urgent” calls on a Sunday? Of course.
