Many people are only living there lives without purpose. They go to work from morning and closes in the evening and that do not tell them that they are not living a suitable lifestyle that will give them freedom to go to any places they feel like going without anybody restricting them. We don't need to live our lives to please the boss or the government for those working as a government workers especially for many years.
If you're working for the government or your boss as most individual are doing, you have no choice but to please you boss. If you don't please them, your chances of staying in that job for a long period will not exist. Bosses only want employees who're loyal and does that work very very because when that is done, the get good results and get the value they're paying for you.
If you want to work as you please and don't what to answer to anybody then you should start your personal business. Starting a business isn't hard to do but keeping that business profitable is when you'll have challenges because not everyone has those qualities in them.
I would say in government that as long as you don't commit a big mistake that can affect the whole office and also have absences, then you are good because government employees are not too strict on this. As long as you are just doing your job, like finishing it even if it is not on deadline, then you are good. But again, those kinds of things are very unprogressive for you, like feeling stagnant and not improving your skills, and also because it is only minimum wage. Having capital in business is also hard at the same time when you run it, which is why intensive research and learning are required.
