In this life we are actually always given a choice, no matter what the choice in life will always be there for everyone, but sometimes many people forget that choice. What I experienced too, the world of work is indeed very monotonous, every day always has the same routine. Going to work early in the morning, and in the evening sometimes even going home at night. It just goes on like you have no control. In fact, there are many job professions that force workers to not be able to take a day off. Such as security guards, restaurants, and farms.
"Must" we? I mean some people are super happy with that life and do not want to live the risky life that I talked about. My wife among them, she would never dare to have her business, she wants to, in her "goals" there is starting her own workshop and that's great goal but she would not be able to give even a month long testing period, it is not possible for her to do something like that at all.
I would highly suggest the best thing to do in this case would be making sure that it is going to end up with something more proper, it is going to be something I would highly suggest because just let them be happy with what they have. I suggest taking risks for people who are willing to, but the ones who don't want to shouldn't be worried about it neither.
