Minds On - Better Business Model

Yea, I guess I agree with the concept of letting people do their own thing but is it really that groundbreaking? Perhaps because I live in an age where Wikipedia exists and tons of people write ridiculously long code because they enjoy it, I don’t find the concept insane. I’m not surprised by the idea of people doing what they enjoy and getting work done because they want to. You have YouTubers putting up videos because they enjoy the process, and even they are willing to admit that they become less inclined to post anything when it starts feeling like they have to. I get that way with everything. Sure I don’t mind the idea of, say, parodying a song about a book, but with a due date I become reluctant to start working on it. (This is just an example, I love my Of Mice and Men/Blank Space parody. It’s great) Something about being told to do something makes it seem nearly laborious. I hate clutter and love organizing, but it will take 4 hours longer if you tell me I need to clean my room or something. My point is, while I totally agree with the guy, I’m not sure his point is as groundbreaking as he thought. Whatever. More importantly is what we are going to do with it. Truth is, it’s probably going to stay an idea with a couple of examples of success. Just like the idea of changing the school system, people are always going to be too afraid of it. Maybe that’s not so bad though, it provides the constant aspiration to change while never actually making said change. It’s a good way to feel productive.

Careers Blog Part One.

For my career assignment, I am going to interview a paramedic. Being a paramedic has interested me for a while. I like the idea of working hands-on, under pressure, and the way the job demands adaptability. Paramedics provide immediate response to any medical emergency, and thus the must me able to deal with 'gross' things, which I can totally do. In the future, I am going to be take biology and health sciences. From the I will probably go into a paramedic program. I want to be a paramedic because I like the on scene idea of it. You have to work fast, with a clear mind and that kind of environment really appeals to me. The job is always changing, like you're not going to walk up to and accident and think, "damn same one I had yesterday" Being a paramedic is also a hands-on job, which is totally the opposite of what I thought I'd want to do, but the more I think, the less I want to be stuck in a building all day doing paper work. I hope to ask the person I am interviewing about their experiences, what it like to actually be out there and how it feels. I want to know about the hardest parts of the jobs and all the tedious stuff they hate doing. I hope to ask about how hard schooling was and whether its hard to find a job afterwards. Most importantly, I need to find out how much I need to work on my noodle arms, because they aren't good for heavy lifting.
