Minimalism – Math Of The Canadian Job Hunt – Limited Options, Limited Desire – STEM vs Arts [Video]

I wanted to make a video and talk about living with less as I sit here and think of my options for the future. Having been a minimalist before it was cool trendy thing and then becoming a massive out of control consumer for a little bit it feels good to be going back to it again. I resigned myself in long ago, however, due to not working for 2.5 years I have ultimately runed my credit again (ironically the score is going up every time I check, but still…). I wanted to touch on the math behind the job hunting process right now in Canada. I wanted to talk about how freeing it feels to give things up. For me, I really felt the Fight Club tag line “the things you own end up owning you”. I also quickly discuss the idea that our society has become very linear now, especially in it’s thought process and in what it allows us “free citizens” to do freely. Is it not coincidental that our society is also in love with STEM and engineering and that engineers are some of the highest paid people out there despite often having a very limited and linear way of thinking? Linear society rewards and promotes linear thinking, interesting right?
