I'd Rather Be Homeless Than Work a 9 to 5

- In this self-improvement video, I explain why I'm scared to work a 9 to 5 (or any job). If you would rather be your own boss (be self-employed) and never have to clock in or ask for vacation time again, just know that you're not alone.

It’s not for everyone, definitely not me. It really doesn’t make logical sense to apply somewhere to WORK and do all that bs just to be under a crack head in charge who won’t ever go anywhere else. Most big positions you need to know someone there to even get looked at for the job. The headache isn’t for me and every job and coworkers I’ve ever worked with showed their true colors later on down the line. I’ve been over qualified for literally every position I’ve ever applied for. Working a 9-5 just makes no sense to me and most people do that are completely miserable or will become miserable later on.
It's definitely not for everyone- just like entrepreneurship isn't for everyone. It's all about knowing where you stand, and it seems you've figured that out 💪🏾
It depends on the passion. Some people might work a 9- 5 because they are passionate about what they are doing and some might start their own business because of passion as well. This does not necessarily mean that all 9-5 jobs sucks. If you are
Not passionate about your job due to pressure from society , you will suffer. It’s very important to follow your passion and what’s in your heart because in some cases your passion will eventually require a 9-5 strategy. For example you can work
A 9-5 as a doctor because you are passionate about medicine. ❤❤
Yes. And we can say the same for high school, college, marriages, the military, etc. A lot of people leave those institutions in worse shape they were in before they ever went into those “contracts”.
“You do think I’m crazy for saying this” trust me bro, you are anything BUT crazy. You just tell the brutal harsh truth in a world full of pretty beautiful lies
The day that I don't speak my truth is the day my UA-cam career ends! That said, I'm glad my truth resonates with you.
Everyone in my family aspires to work a 9-5 office job. They think I’m crazy that is something I don’t want to do.
Most people won't understand it bro. In tomorrow's video, you'll learn more about why that is 🥂
@@JordanGreenYTIt’s crazy because I come from an East Asian background and over there it’s all about conformity rather than freedom and creativity. Guess its just a cultural difference 🤷
It’s because your family is still operating from that mindset of always everything is 9-5. It’s either your family is reinforcing the idea of 9- 5 under a societal influence. They are basically doing 9-5 not because of what’s in their heart, because of societal influence and cultural conditioning. They don’t consciously know that, they still believe in their minds that’s the only way to survive. Which is not true. They are trying to project that mindset onto you because if that mindset is challenged by other people , then you will be labelled “crazy”. Don’t fault them for calling you crazy, know that they are under an societal influence. Just follow your heart and intuition, not everybody is meant to work a 9-5.❤
@@OhmygawddddeI have read about East Asians’ obsessions with money and grades. It’s not healthy.
You are absolutely correct! Stay on your journey, you will become successful 😊
Much love bro!
Hey people, we are not equal.
- Some of you are better off getting a job;
-Some of you are underpaid in your job and should try something new;
- Some of you should quit the self employed route and get back to the job market, and;
- Some of you should try a little bit harder in your self employed endeavour.
In ended of the day, we must make decisions based on our reality and our ambitions.
FACTS! I see it like this: we are equal, but we're also different. Some people are better off taking the path of security, whereas others are better off taking the path of freedom. What matters is that you know which path you're picking and why.
Resonate with this heavily bro. Whatever it is people have in them that they can just work a job their entire life, I envy them.
i know with me, i take pride in working and i enjoy it. i love learning skills and sweating for my money. its very fulfilling. yes i work for someone else and dont get much days off but working has been my life since i was a kid and i know im crazy to say i enjoy it. not to mention the people you meet in job spaces, some people are just treasures.
I feel you on that bro. I truly wish I could just work a 9 to 5 and feel content, but my mind doesn't operate on that software.
That said, maybe there's a job out there that could change my mind. But until I find that job (or it finds me), I'm taking that path of freedom every single time.
Europeans live. Americans exist
You won’t envy them when they get laid off due to a.i. in The near future
THE MAJORITY of people will have to work a 9-5 nothing wrong with that
I feel you Jordan I’m working a job currently after turning 18 and most days I just hate the fact that I have to work for someone who has control over my time like you said in the video. I’m working on building my youtube channel to get to financial independence so I can work on my own time. I want time freedom even if it comes with less money or less security. I feel it’s up to you to make that security with investments etc or even investing more into yourself. Great video Jordan and I’ve been watching you for the longest 👏🏽
Good luck bro 👍👍👍
I was right around that same age when I made that decision bro. Jobs aren't going anywhere, but your life most certainly is. Take action while you're young, as that's when your margin for error is the highest!
Experience is the best teacher.
Facts!
I myself have to start somewhere but I don’t see myself working for somebody till I die
So this comment is a live reaction. At around 4:00 when you say you got chills up your spine, I got that feeling as well. Time is so precious, yet those in the Hamster Wheel have to ask OTHERS for permission to enjoy more of time. We in the matrix 👁
It STILL messes with me bro. Makes it a lot easier to make videos on the days I don't "feel" like filming.
Been here for 3 years. Great to see you continuing at it.
I appreciate the continued support 💪🏾
I actually am oddly okay with working 40 hours a week at a restaurant with this vision of my YT channel taking off and becoming my main income with 2025. However, there is no way in heck that I will work a 9-5 for 40 years---I would actually choose freedom over security (homelessness over a 9-5 job) if it came to that last resort. You are not crazy.
I feel you bro. I had to put in my time at H&M to invest into my dreams. But once I had everything I needed, I bounced.
Man’s vids just keep getting better 👌🏾💯🗣️
I love ur videos broo, this video is great
You’re going to get a lot of hate here, but it’s good you know yourself. Job satisfaction is at a historical low because people don’t assess there own values. This non-conformist attitude is not lazy. Some people seek freedom, others impact, and others security. Knowing what you’re optimizing for will make you happier in the long run.
To add, some people value collaboration, and I don’t. They would make good lawyers because it takes a lot of team work. I would probably be a bad lawyer.
THIS. Self-awareness is critical. I'm big on free will, but free will only works if you know what options you have (including the implications of those options) and which options appeal to the core of your being.
The thing that I dislike about working at warehouses is that I gave them my 1000% everytime and my checks were always the exact same hence in the case I didn't get more hours ot.
I feel it's more worth it to bet on myself then giving away all of my time to some company.
Can't even get sick or deal with personal life situations without having to worry about losing everything .
I say this all the time to my friends “ I rather have Freedom than Security “ I’m still searching for that right key to unlock the door to Freedom, giving up is not an option.
I needed this
Glad it resonated with you!
You are one of many who inspired me Jordan thanks
Glad I've been able to make an impact in your life bro!
Deep words Jordan, you're making me really rethink what I want to do when I’m done with school 🤔
Good to see you back Jordan❤
I appreciate you for tuning in bro!
I agree, Jordan. Great points.
Glad the video resonates with you bro!
Freedom comes after security , freedom is the ideal and security is the basic necessity. Both are needed at the right time.
What you said in that video is basically one of my main topics of my podcast which is to pursue your purpose and escape the 9to5 lifestyle.
Homeless by choice.
Your life is a culmination of your decisions; choose wisely 🥂
I feel you brother 😅
Glad I'm not alone on this one!
STRONG MESSAGE,RESPECT.
Much love!
I currently work a 9-5 as a janitor and I don’t think it’s because I prefer security over freedom I actually would rather have freedom but atp in my life the smart thing to do is to work until I can carve out some sort of career for myself because if I don’t work I won’t be able to pay none of my bills and would be homeless I don’t have a strong support system… I am my support system I plan on being my own boss one day to have my freedom but i have to put in the work to get there 💯💪🏽
You are my spokesman.Totally agree👌👌👌
Glad my message resonates with you bro!
Its done DONTAI SHE aint a BUSINESS 😡
Not this again 😭

But anyone on you tube is trading in their privacy. Unless you run a channel with no showing yourself. You are trading your privacy to not work a 9-5. 9-5, yes you are a “slave” but I have my privacy. That is sort of priceless to me. I have multiple sources of income so know I, to the point where I do not live pay check to pay check, I have no debt. My bills are low. Since I have investments and multiple streams of income. My 9-5 is one source. So because my fixed bills are so low, I can lose my job and be fine. That gives me more leverage. Also, I have a great schedule, I can pick when I work, take off anytime with notice, and my pay is decent. So that’s why I’m not giving up my job even though I could. Plus it gives me a sense of contributing to society and working towards a career I can build on. I get status and validation from my job even being an employee and not a business owner
I agree! It's definitely a trade off that not many are willing to make (justifiably so). That said, there are both jobs and business models that allow you to have both the privacy and the freedom. It's all about choosing where you want to be on that spectrum.
Dr. J is back at it again with these flashback gems
What's good bro! I appreciate you for tuning in 💪🏾
I used to think like you in when i was 15. I started my Twitch channel from 0 and in a year i came to a good living for myself (living with parents). It was not much, but i always thought i'll make much more in the future. It's been 4 years. I hasn't been able to grow my channel past "enough to exist" mark, due to war i had to move to Poland where livecost is like 3x and I also got a girlfriend. I am not making enough to enjoy living so recently i started an internship. I was always scared of "a job". But i realised, i'd rather have a job that i can enjoy than live a miserable life full of "freedom"
Having a gf - is no longer freedom. Having children - is even less freedom! But those things make your life so fulfilled, that at some point you realise that it's not that bad.
I wish y'all reading GREAT SUCCESS in whatever you're doing! You got this! 🙌💪
I feel you on that bro! I've had my ups and downs through my UA-cam journey. Over the past couple of years, I've earned roughly the median US salary, which by no means provides a lavish lifestyle. But being able to operate on my own schedule has been well worth the trade off for me. Overall, I believe you should do what makes you happy. That said, congratulations on the internship 💪🏾
I always regret choosing my current major in college over computer science or sales as they possibly can help you work from home. Being an introvert and a guy with a large ego I cannot deal with that 9 to 5 bs man.
It's not too late bro! There are plenty of courses on Udemy that can help you learn practically any skill you want. Wait for one of their flash sales, and get after it 💪🏾
@@JordanGreenYT I’ll definitely give them a try a sales course would really help!
@@Boe3facts man its crazy
I completely understand...because i've never really had a "conventional"" job, all that matters is to not do what you think others expect of you and do what makes you happy...
Jordan gets it, all facts! 🔥
Speaking my truth bro 🥂
thank you jordan for saying the brutal truths of the 9-5 and thank you for not being conditioned to the idea that a 9-5 is the only way, no one can decide what my life is to be, no one can put me in a box
I agree with you Jordan even though I’m college going to my final year I can’t work a 9-5 job behind a computer screen 8 hours a day. I’d rather do something like delivery or just chasing my dreams. To me it’s just boring
I am working a relatively stress free educational job at this time, but I'm sure that is not the case for some others who I'm sure face many challenges in their occupations!!!
As long as you enjoy it, you should definitely keep doing what you're doing!
@@JordanGreenYT I agree!!!
No you don't bro you don't know what homeless is like I've been homeless for several years and it sucks. A job gives you security whether you like it or not it sucks but you have to make money and take care of the bills and expenses no one respects a broke man. I'd rather work a job and be homeless then to be homeless and no job. I hate working a job and am looking forward to one day being an entrepreneur.
I feel you bro, and I'm sorry you had to endure that. Although I've never lived on the streets, I lived in my car for several months, and there were some VERY rough days during that time. That said, I still found the freedom of that situation to be MUCH more appealing than the security of working at a job. Different strokes for different folks 🥂
It's so sad looking at how 'wage slaves' live, devoting so much time to work and having to ask for permission for time off. American culture is particularly bad given how highly prized money and status are (wrongly in my view).
Time is the most precious thing we have. I don't want to give mine to anyone who doesn't care or consider me.
Too many companies and employers lack ethics and values and just want to squeeze every ounce of energy out of you.
I feel it bro! Life is too short to be giving your time to things that don't serve your soul.
After 20 plus years of work being both employed and self employed in that time I prefer self employment. I have been self employed for the past 10 years now , not been employed at any job in that time. Points to consider: Unfortunately self employment is frowned upon, but not so badly if you're skilled self employed. But if you're unskilled self employed, it can be detrimental to you. If you're in the dating game tho , I think women prefer a man who is employed in a stable job over someone who is even skilled self employed and makes a good living. Just a few things to think about.
Oh and just for clarity skilled self employed is those who have trades or professional qualifications that they're using to make a living. Unskilled self employed is basically those who do gig economy work
One benefit I suppose, if you're skilled self employed, people in your local neighborhood or friends will often require your services as opposed to just someone who delivers food or parcels . That alone is status of some kind
I appreciate the insights bro!
Bruh tell them Jordan 💯🔥
Always going to speak my truth 🥂
I feel you bro... but not many make it...
That's true! But if I give it my all for 10-20 years and still end up "failing", I can clock into my 9 to 5 in peace knowing that I at least tried. When you let the fear of failure prevent you from trying, you effectively GUARANTEE your failure.
I have a question. How can I start to become self employed? I am not looking to start a buisness immediately I just want to become self employed? I am 20 years old so I would be starting this at the same time as you. So what would you do to start becoming self employed. I have no idea where to start.
Find something that you are passionate about, whether it could be soccer, creative skills, art, ect.. try to find ways on how you can turn that passion into a passive income business. For example if, you are passionate about soccer, you can start by making soccer videos on UA-cam and from there you can monetise your UA-cam channel to start making money. It doesn’t have to be UA-cam, im just giving you an example, it could be anything. Don’t immediately quit your 9-5 grind, you would be doing this on the side while still maintaining your 9-5. As time goes by when you see that your passion is making you stable income, then you can make a decision to quit your job.❤
I think part time is best 👏🏾not full time, we all gon die in the end
I agree! Do what works best for you, and be willing to adapt your plan as you go.
Jordan BUCKET HAT Green thinks homelessness and slavery are choices to be made. I humbly respect itP 👊🏼💯
Most certainly! Everything in life is a choice. Though we can't always control our circumstances, we CAN always control how we respond to them🥂
If you dont mind me asking jordan what was your girlfriend going for in the work force?
🙌
Much love!
Working at office part-time and sometimes they give me double paid extra hours. Such system is perfect as for office job. Though i have enherited an apartment so my cost of living is basically food
It sounds like you're in a great situation bro! You love to see it 🥂
My soul urge is to elevate the collective consciousness of humanity. To help bring healing and peace to this world. I dream of having all the resources to immediately relieve the suffering of as many people as possible financially, psychologically, and spiritually. Of course I wouldn't work 40 hours a week at H&M for the next 40 years of my life if it sacrifices the fulfillment of my soul urge. That is actually so scary and sad to even imagine.
This part. Everyone should strive to pursue and fulfill their purpose on this Earth. If that involves working a 9-5, then they should do that. If that involves being self-employed, then they should do that. Staying true to one's authenticity is all that TRULY matters.
Its so hard to get out of this system. But I would also feel kinda bad if i earned tons of money without doing anything like many rich people, while others are working to produce all types of food to put it on my table. There should be a balance in working hours and more days off.
I agree! The key is in having the OPTION of whether you want to work or not. That ensures that you only do work that you find meaningful, and that allows you to impact many more people at a much deeper level.
At around 8:00 this insight births an interesting contrast. Management doesn't care about you as an employee, and will cut you off even when you're doing your best, since the business falling off is the owner's fault. But if you're a politician/UA-camr, everybody cares about you and your career is dependant on YOUR performance, and there is a significant portion of people who are loyal to you even when you're NOT doing your best. Would you agree?
Absolutely! Though I don't have enough experience in corporate America to compare them directly, I've heard quite a few stories about how cut throat things can get- especially when the margins start running thin. I've even seen my own parents get laid off/passed up for promotions due to office politics and/or other reasons that had little to due with their performance.
That said, whether you work a 9-5 or become self-employed, good performance will always be your best chance at both freedom and security. The difference is that there's a point of diminishing returns for performance when you work a job (unless it's commission-based).
Jordan this is your father. Please go back to school son and get a degree. Please just come home and get out of this erratic spell you’re under 🙏
🙄
I hope everybody knows that when Jordan says "working for myself" he is considering the fact that he relies on a set of 160,000 people for his one and only income. This scenario is related to how it's always been in my heart to serve the masses through politics. I wouldn't necessarily classify this as "working for myself" since I'm a servant of citizens as a politician, and I rely solely on them to keep my job. But for Jordan's situation, it probably falls more in alignment with working for one's self. Funny enough, politics got too toxic for me, and I turned to spirituality. Yet, that opportunity to be in servant leadership and providing for those in need is still there through the platform of UA-cam where I can preach spirituality 😊
Truthfully, "working for yourself" doesn't really exist. In my case, I've traded having 1 boss for 160,000 of them. But I've found that when you have many bosses, you have the luxury of firing the bosses you no longer want to work for, as you have plenty of other bosses to fall back on. Also, you get the opportunity to choose which bosses you serve. I'm glad you've found a path that suits you bro 💪🏾
🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥

The title of this video is crazy
Definitely one of my wildest titles in a LONG time 💀
W vid and a good thing to do is just to try to make money online, even if you get a job or your at Uni.
Facts bro! There are so many opportunities to pick up money via the internet these days.
@@JordanGreenYT Fr, like affiliate marketing but it's hard. And also it's better if your 18
"There was never a man with a deeper and more passionate craving
for independence than he. In his youth when he was poor and had difficulty in earning his bread,
he preferred to go hungry and in torn clothes rather than endanger his narrow limit of
independence. He never sold himself for money or an easy life or to women or to those in power;
and had thrown away a hundred times what in the world's eyes was his advantage and happiness
in order to safeguard his liberty. No prospect was more hateful and distasteful to him than that he
should have to go to an office and conform to daily and yearly routine and obey others. He hated
all kinds of offices, governmental or commercial, as he hated death, and his worst nightmare was
confinement in barracks. He contrived, often at great sacrifice, to avoid all such predicaments."

This one hit different 🥂
just started my 9 to 5 this week smh
Nothing wrong with that bro! Do what you need to do, but never lose sight of the bigger picture! It's all part of your master plan 🥂🥂
jordan how do you get paid on youtube id love to start a channel
I got you bro! ua-cam.com/video/qEbWRoZnV8s/v-deo.htmlsi=6kR0Im8LG6NZBXte
Even if i have a 9/5 as an éditor there will be a point where i want to quiT and be indépendant
I feel you bro. The cool thing about editing is that you can do freelance which gives you the best of both worlds (the 9-5 path and the entrepreneurial path). Plenty of prospects in that field 👍🏾
@@JordanGreenYT thanksssss
So they didn't say just enjoy your summer vacation, they actually said enjoy your summer vacation because this is the last one you will get free?
I can’t even quit my job I’m on a contract
Honor that contract bro! There's nothing wrong with working and stacking your bread. Once your contract is up, then you can assess your options and go from there.
why am i here this early
😒
You love to see it 🥂
I gave up 223k subs and a potential lifetime of financial freedom to work a humble 9-5! 💪
JT will never give up! He cares far too much about his supporters to do that. If anything, he's probably working on himself so that he can come back stronger than ever 💪🏾
He tryna REFUGE AGAINST ME
The username/profile pic combo is wild 🤣
Just Over Broke_ JOB
I thought you living in a car was inspiring and brave😅😭
At the time, it most certainly was (in my opinion, of course). That said, I've come to realize that I simply made the best out of a bad situation that I admittedly put myself in. Living in a car gave me a lot of perspective and helped me build character, and for that, I'm forever grateful 🙏🏾 Don't plan on doing it again any time soon though lmaooo.
First (Buit Diff Gang!)
😒
Much love 💪🏾
Just because you get paid don't make it slavery because slaves had to work to survive we dont have to work to survive everything fall free from the sky 😂
I agree 🤣 I was just exaggerating to prove a point.
Now how do you explain that to your parents lol
Tomorrow's video should help you out with that 👀 Stay tuned!
@@JordanGreenYT you bet, thanks bro, really
But couldn’t you take 500,000k and pour it into yourself just asking I respect the grind though
Of course you can! This video is my long-winded way of saying that I value having time freedom above all else. Controlling my own schedule has always been the goal- even more than getting rich. After all, I see money as a tool that allows me to buy my time back.
I personally don’t find life working a 9-5 that bad because I enjoy working. You need to change you perspective, because if you work hard you won’t be the one being told what to do. Try climbing the corporate ladder and eventually you will be the boss one day that is what motivates me.
I feel you on that! My thing is that I prefer to have freedom and youth simultaneously. I've also noticed that those higher up corporate jobs require so much of your time/energy that you end up not having enough time to enjoy the money anyways. Of course, it depends on the job, but that's how I've always perceived it. Overall, I think you should do what makes you happy!
@@JordanGreenYTyour right Jordan life is more than working a 9-5 and trust me with the little pay these jobs give after all your responsibilities are taken care of there isn’t any money left to enjoy.
I resonate with what you saying I just disagree with the title I think your being over dramatic. And one more thing I want to say to you just because your homeless doesn't mean you don't have a job. Some homeless people still work a job it's just their job isn't paying them enough to afford housing that's not their fault it's the company's fault or corporatism/capitalism.
I agree! The title is very dramatic, and that's because it's my job as a content creator to bring attention to my content. That way, I can deliver my message to as many people as possible 👍🏾
COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO GET RID OF CHRIST I DARE YOU IMMA LAUGH BEHIND THE SCREEN IN THE CLOUDS OF YOUR IPHONE!
😭😭
Talk about being lazy lol
I agree! In fact, most great business owners are "lazy". That's why they outsource the work to people who aren't lazy. Leverage is critical to freedom 🥂
@@JordanGreenYTYOOO Jordan Blue be killing them with kindness like Mikasa from Attack on Titan 🤣
bro... that's 50K - you literally could have got job that paid more than 50K
Of course! But most jobs don't allow you to operate on your own schedule. At least, that's what I've found. Personally, I value time freedom even more than financial freedom (not that the two are mutually exclusive).
you missed the point of his video 💀
