[quote=walterwhite]It’s my position we are all cogs[/quote]
In my view, it’s a spectrum. We all operate along the spectrum of Cogdom. If you’re working 90 hours a week as a low-level analyst at Goldman Sachs, you are off to one side of Cogdom. If you’re selling t-shirts and pot at the beach, you’re off to the other side of Cogdom. But, day to day, even the latter example can’t escape certain elements of Cogdom. It’s ubiquitous. Choosing one’s career is all about figuring out where the optimal point is on the Cogdom spectrum – that trade-off of compensation, freedom, work content and personal ethics – and everyone’s got a different view on where that optimal point is.
