Imagination is pure potentiality for creation. We shouldn't submit it to the hourly wages we subject our time at work.
Make no mistake: Your salary is held to the same standards your grades were held to in the educational system, where you couldn't surpass a 100 no matter how hard you worked or how intelligent you were.
We are trained to be employees, but no one said that we have endure a limited salary that barely keeps pace with inflation.
