You've given me some things to think about. Why can't a good employee be a dreamer? Google is keeping what I would imagine is a group filled with dreamers. A friend of mine works in advanced research in Bose where they try to come up with innovative products and market testing (bullshit terms, but I can't get too into it), and I'm currently in an R&D/Process position where testing things out and dreaming up new processes is why these jobs exist. I'm definitely taking this too literally, because I can't imagine how the vast majority of people are able to do that with how specialized jobs have become. Is a person that works in a retail store and spends their money and basic living expenses and lets say a new car payment or some other item not following this principle?The economy works best when people consume exactly what they produce and pay The Man for the privilege.
