Transcripts For ALJAZAM Real Money With Ali Velshi 20140703

This is real money. You are the most important part of the show. Americas businesses went on a hiring spree. They added 281,000 jobs to their payroll. This is according to the payroll firm adp. The companys monthly reports on the private sector, thats all they report on, theyre usually a pretty good indicator of what to expect in the closely watched Labor Department and labor report. The report will come out tomorrow. Usually its the first friday of the month, but this month thats a holiday. Economists are forecasting that jobs added to all sectors will be above 200,000. Now the big take away from todays numbers, four out of every new jobs in june were added by small and immediat mediumsized businesses. Its the smallerler ones out there that take the chance to grow new jobs in the economy. New service jobs jumped by a third in june. The company may have taken a hit in 2014 with that crazy winter we have, but now its just expanding and the recovery in the labor market may be hitting its stride. Finally again we can confirm more of that when we get tomorrows government figures. Ill be talking more about that tomorrow. But let me alert you of a positive sign in the turn around of todays numbers. The number of new private sector construction jobs doubled in one month to 36,000. Thats a level we have not seen since early 2006. We still had a housing boom back then. The bursting of the housing bubble in 2007 and 2008 decima decimated private sector construction , which bled a million jobs before and during the recession. This week we learn that Building Permits jumped in may, but new construction stalled at the same time. We care about this because the economic ripple affect is a lot bigger than you might think. Home construction has tentacles that reached into lumber, home furnishings. And new construction create a lot of jobs that benefit the wider economy. Less than 10 of houses out there are new houses but theyre disproportionately important. The missing ingredient, wage growth. Its below the pace of economic growth, and according to danny branchflower americas economy wont recover until wages rise. Hes a professor at Dartmouth College and he joins me now by skype. Thank you for being with us. You hit the nail on the head. We have this very weird economy. If you dropped in from space and said, hey, how is the economy doing . I could list all those things i just listed which sound fantastic, but americans who are the engine of this economy are not making a lot more money. Tell me how you make sense ought of all of this. First of all, let me say thats what janet yellen is worried about. Theyre going to focus on wages. Jobs are being created, but a lot of other people want jobs. Thats keeping wages relatively low. There is always the prospect that firms could run to china and produce things elsewhere. We should put in context the number of people over 16 who need employment is still lower than 2008. Yes, youve told us lot of good news but there is still lots of slack in the labor market. So employers dont need to pay lots of money. Yes, firms are needing to hire people but they dont have to pay people higher wages. So i guess i would say good job. This is a cycle. If employers employed more people, people more confident. People invest, move out of their parents homes. And then everybody feels better and hires more people. Where are we in this chicken and egg thing . Think of full employment. Its a bit like photographry. Its hard to define it but we know it when we see it. If they can find people at the going price, the way you get people is that al jazeera can only hire people because it can pull from other firms. Were a long way from that point. That in a sense is what were talked about. The feds talked about theyre going to continue with the stimulus. Were going to keep Interest Rates low especially because the construction sector is struggling. We still have 11 Million People out of work. The fact it is these are good signs. But we were hit so badly. We talk a lot on this clash about Living Standards. I just came back from a week in the united kingdom. By the way, if you complain about how much it costs to live in new york or San Francisco, try it out in london. Tell me about the effect that all of this is haling on the Living Standards. Thats a fantastic question. If you go to the u. K. The story i just told you here is actually worse in the u. K. Real wages are about flat in the u. S. In the u. K. Real wages have fallen 5 in thesince 2010. The big issue going forward, what are we going to do about the Living Standards of the person in the middle . People at the low end have not done that badly. Weve raised the minimum wage. The person at the top has not done as well. But in the middle, theyre worse off today than they were in 2010. The election is coming, and are you better off today than five years ago, the answer is going to be no. This is going to have political implications. The answer is a tough one. What do you do . Well save that for another conversation. I hope you come back and have it with us. Danny blanchflower, thank you, danny. When i was a young man working my first job i couldnt wait to move out of my parents place and get a place of my own. And 85 of people with autism dont have jobs. Landing a job can be an up you hill climb for them. Interviews are tough enough, but its even worse when you dont necessarily have the person, or you might come off as too monday toned, stiff, youre not as relaxed as they would like.

People who complain the rent is too damn high has more data on their side. The average rent in the United States rows to 1,099 in the year that ended in june. Rent rose the most in San Francisco up 7. 1 to more than 2,100 a month. Followed by san jose and seattle. In the three months ending june rents rose in all 79 areas tracked by the real estate data firm reese. New york has the highest rent at 3,152 a month. Rising rents are one reason why children are still living with their parents and not buying a home of their own. For the economy to fully recover more young people need taoistic out on their own, but theyre waiting for the economy to recover. 10 feet below ground in a basement outside of washington, d. C. 24yearold elena is surrounded by knickknacks from her childhood. She lives in her mothers house. Hollywoohow old when you got this . I think i was 11 years old. Shes one of millions of 18 to 30yearold who is are not starting their own households. 31 of 18 to 31yearolds still lived with their parents. Now its up to 35 . Reporter few cente pew center richard frye said that her decision not only effects her parents but the economy. 20yearolds are setting up fewer households, the rate is down. Many Consumer Services and consumer durables are tied with setting up your own household. Reporter when she moves out, shell buy a place. She buys all sorts of goods and Services Including furniture, power, water, internet, food, electronics, tv or durables like a washing machine. It all transfers to jobs for other people. But elena is holding back waiting for the right time to move. Im building up, waiting for grad school rather than struggling living down the street. Apartments near my school are around 1800. Reporter the u. S. Labor Department Reports 11 of people in elenas age group who want a job cant find one. A movie ticket is two trips to chipotle. Everything is counted in burri burritos. Reporter pew research calculates one in three of 18 to 31yearolds head their own households. Our parents know that we cant live outside of the homes. There must be some times when you wish, hey, i want to come home and be by myself. Every once in a while, but its not that bad. Reporter more than 3 million households never formed in the u. S. Because of the great recession. Eating and having somewhere to live, it would be hard to do both. Reporter shes joining the foreign service, but until her first check comes shes not budging. Im still at home. Yes, my mother is very patient. Al jazeera, maryland. Here is some good news there are signs that the tide tides are start to go turn. In the analysis of the data barclays found the number of 18 to 31yearolds who live with their parents fell since 2005. And a new study from harvard said that young people will form 24 million now households that will drive the demand for properties and starter homes. Joining us from the campus in cambridge, chris, thank you. In this study lets talk about household formation and why its important. Who cares that these kids are living with their parents longer . The story you just played sums it up. The young people form the new households, and we build new houses, we sell more goods and services. And the Housing Market is not playing that role in the economy. The over all economy suffers as a result. How would you typically solve this . You would think that after the housing crash, prices came down. Affordability increased. Interest rates are at an alltime lows. But young people have larger student debt than you and did i. They have a weaker employment situation. What is the best circumstance to create more homeownership . Well, it really starts with the job. They do face those head winds but it starts with a job, putting money in a savings account to move forward homeownership eventually. Yoi think the first step is to get a job and have the ability to pay rent and a mortgage. One of the positive outcomes of the recession in the crash markets that were entirely unaffordable suddenly became affordable if you still had the middle class salary and you had great credit. But according to some of your research, 28 of americans who rent their homes spent half their income on housing. Thats way higher. Obviously if you live in San Francisco, Silicon Valley or new york youre going to spend more than the recommended average, but how much should someone be spending of their income on housing . Well, the general rule of thumb is that they should spend 30 of income on monthly housing costs. It goes back to an old rule of thumb that said a weeks wages for a months rent. Its been increased to 30 . Thats long been the standard and thats built in to a lot of federal programs where we subsidize housing. That allows people to afford food, clothing, transportation and other necessities of life. I want to put up this chart and show homeownership changes since 2004, before home prices hit their peak, and all the way to 2013. It shows the biggest drop of homeownership is occurring amongst young americans. The Largest Group is 35 to 44, but those aged 25 to 34, homeownership in that category dropped 8 percentage points. What do you take from this data . What does this mean . Well, it certainly means there are fewer people who are moving into homeownership overnight. Omeownership overover time. There is a 64 rate that prevailed for much of the 80s into the 90s before rates started to rise. People think we still have a ways to go for homeownership to get back to what is considered normal. If we go back to the is th the 1970s. What it doesnt mean i dont think is that there less of a desire to own a home. Most of the Research Shows that young people still pro fess an interest ultimately in owning a home. I was going to ask you that. Given the changes in this Digital World where nobody owns anything, and everything is disposal. They dont want to own cars as much as guys like we did when we turned old enough to drive. Well, you know, its a question of when. The question in the survey generally asks do you expect to own a home at some point and if the answer is yes, when is that point. The recession has made it difficult to get that first job and it moves on the progression of independent living, buying a house. Ultimately i think this grouch are hav group would want to own a home. Many americans own homes because it does have that wealth and prosperity affect . Oh, absolutely. I think we certainly learned from the housing crash how risky homeownership can be. But still that home equity is an important source of wealth particularly for lower income houses, minority households. You look at retirement years. Its not just having the wealth in the home but the fact that you own the house free and clear without the mortgage payment, and for Many Americans thats a rent freeway to live and provides a lot of financial security. What a great opportunity to talk to you and give my viewers access to your research. Chris herbert, with the housing studies. People are hiring people with autism. Were looking for people who have the ability to concentrate on tasks for a long period of time. A tasks that for people are considered repetitive but are of high importance to us. Plus what most americans do not know about the history of the middle east, and how that continues to cost the u. S. To this very day. Its a chilling and draconian sentence. It simply cannot stand. They are truth seekers. All they really wanna do is find out whats happening, so they can tell people. Governments around the world all united to condemn this. As you can see, its still a very much volatile situation. The government is prepared to carry out mass array. If you want free press in the new democracy, let the journalists live. Khaled hosseini author of the best selling novel the kite runner talks about his hopes for his homeland. No change will come to afghanistan unless its initiated by the afghans themselves. And the inspiration for his latest novel. The idea for the book came from painful acts of sacrifice. Every saturday join us for exclusive, revealing, and surprising talks with the most interesting people of our time. Talk to al jazeera only on al Jazeera America right now there are four and a half million job openings in america and they cant find enough people with the skills to fill those jobs. Others are getting creative when it comes to tapping new sources of talent. Theyre now looking to autism. Sap is looking at people on all parts of the autism spectrum with an ambitious goal. By twenty20 it plans to have autistic people make up 1 of its Global Workforce but its motivation is notal truis nota altruistic. Hes making his first presentations to managers at sap. Hes showing them a robot he has programmed part of his training for autism at work initiative. There we go. [applause] ma patrick has aspergers. Its characterized by difficulty difficulties with social situation and interest in repetitive interests. Its difficult if you dont know the american or you may come off as too monday tone or stiff, and youre not as relaxed as they would like. Patrick graduated from college in 2011 but says because of his disability he has not been able to secure a job. Hes hoping that that will change at fap. Hes one of 30 people on the autism spectrum taking part in the pilot program. They have already begun hiring people in ireland, germany, india and soon in brazil. By 2020 it hopes to have 600 employees with autism on their payroll. We have a tremendous need for programmers in the Technology Sector as well as the Technology Side of the house. Jose velasco runs this program, and he said the competitive value in higher these employees. Were looking for people who have the ability to concentrate on tasks for a long period of time. In some cases do tasks that for other people may be considered repetitive but which are very importance for us. And the company. Reporter sap is not alone. Walgreens has a Distribution Center with 40 of its workforce hayes a disability, many of whom have autism. And freddie mac offers internships for people on the autism spectrum. There are many vacant jobs. One more incentive for employers to include people with disabilities in the workforce. Hes working with sap and the state of delaware and other tech businesses in the United States. But hes also in talks with pharmaceuticals, and National Banks to do the same. The global goal is to enable 1 million jobs through partnerships and knowledge. Reporter however people with autism often have real challenges in the traditional work session. They can be extra sensitive to noise, bright lighting and stresses that come with a full time career. Taking these things into account means extra training for autistic workers. Not only for participants but for managers and team members and other employees. In the short term there will be additional expenses and time and energy spent getting this up and running. Reporter many businesses are concerned about higher healthcare costs, workers comp and reviability. But velasco said that theyre aware of the extra costs but consider this an investment that will pay off in the long term. By 2020 well have the equivalent of a person effected with autism and it will make no difference. Reporter will it work and will the money spent on the front end really pay off . Jim thessels says hes watching the experiment with great interest. In the longer run there are many reasons to believe that this is going to be a real good mine. As for patrick hes on track to work at sap maybe as a software tester, but he has his sights set on a different career there. I hope to expand and use my back ground in communications to go into marketing and consulting with various clients. Reporter David Shuster i, al jazeera. Now patrick in this story has aspergers, but sap is looking to hire people with autism who may need more support. For them its about the skill set and not the social skills. And they will all be paid the same competitive salaries as their colleagues. An issue that strikes close to home for the guys who run the program at sap because both of them have children on the autism spectrum. 100 years ago world war i came to an end, but the conflict still reverberates today. Much of the conflict we see in the middle east can be traced to how it was carved up after the war. We look at how the history and the future can teach us about finding peace. Well talk about the lessons the turmoil in iraq is not going away. Today the Prime Minister Nouri Almaliki lashed out critics. He insists that the battle led by the Islamic State takes priority over forming an unity government that is acceptable to iraqs, sunnies and kurds. The Islamic State found calipha. They have defined large swaths of territory and effectively erased the border between those two countries. In the meantime president obama is rushing out 300 more military advisers to shore up the iraqi army. That will bring the total u. S. Advisers to 600. The United States has spent 25 billion to train and equip the Iraqi Military since its invasion in 2003. Iraq is not the only place in the middle east that is suffe suffering from ethnic blood letting, much of the region is torn by division, violence and meddling from outside powers going back decades. Todays middle east have their routes in the states and borders following world war i which broke out is hundred years ago this month. The genesis of todays middle east map dates back to world would be one. As ally and access battles each other they agreed to carve the middle Eastern Province of the Ottoman Empire into spheres of influences which did not wash with either side when the war ended. By the time they got to paris, they looked at what sykes and picot had done and were horrified by this. They did not want it to be in control, they wanted to keep the french out of palestine. Most of all they wanted to keep them from the persian gulf. But with this coffers drained by war britain could i not declare the area provinces. Then colonial secretary Winston Churchill had an idea. Transjordan became a semi semi aut autoous area. The greatest experiment involved mosul, baghdad and basra. They were doraled into a new country, iraq, ruled by abdullahs brother, king faisel. He would rule for them and do the british bidding in iraq, and they would save themselves the considerable expense of declaring iraq or mesopotamia a fullblown protectorate of the british empire. A colonist construct the country made very little sense for the religious groups. The map continued to evolve through the 20th century. By the 1940s syria and lebanon were independent. Britain lost its mandate over palestine and transjordan paving the way for israel which grew its territory substantially during the 1967 sixday war. As for iraq, it was overthrown in 1958 setting the stage for Saddam Hussein to seize power until he was ousted by the United States in 2003. Ethnic and sectarian tensions in iraq flared in the years that followed creating an opening for sunni insurgents from the Islamic State to gain a foothold in iraq where they hope to undo the borders laid down nearly 100 years ago. Joining me now from the United States institute of peace. The institute was established by congress to do independent research on world conflict zones, and to help mitigate violence within them. An associate Vice President for the middle east and africa center. It has give her a wealth of knowledge inside the middle east conflict zones including and especially iraq. You have lived in baghdad, and we really have been struggling with this issue. Is the reality as patricia laid it down there so well that these are false constructs . That isil or isis or Islamic State, whatever you want to call it now, is as off the wall as they are, there is a colonel of truth in the fact that these borders didnt make sense from the beginning. I think thats a dangerous argument to start making in terms of what the role of the borders are. The biggest challenge has been for a very long time in addition to inheriting borders that may not have been organic in the region, you inherited rule of law and governance that was not inherit to the region. Thats thats a valid point. When we talk about rule of law from whose Vantage Point are we using . We want to see rules of law that are familiar to us, that seem sensible, and for some reason they are having a difficult time taking root in that part of the world. The word choice you used presents the challenge itself. What people want to see or impose a system. Every country that came to , instead, a lot of regional players and a lot of International Players finance to prescribe what they would like to see in the region. As youve seen from your own report over the last 100 years thats never succeeded. I wouldnt say only in the middle east but i would say globally when you have an effort to impose a system it just wont be able to take traction. The difficulty the u. S. Has and western governments have, of course, is as long as this doesnt come right in various parts of the middle east, the u. S. And western powers either by choice or by force get dragged into this, and this for americans ends up costing lives and money. We do have some interest in wanting to see something that is going to be more economically and politically viable in the long run, what is that . What is that something . I think the biggest challenge is recognizing the time that it needs to have success take root in the region. When i say time i say particularly for a process weve tried military intervention and where we were the governance handing it over to a local government structure. We havent been able to have have space where we see others in transition where that is a key element. In iraq a lot of vent went into iraq, but unfortunately we never saw a True National dialogue or reconciliation process. And until a from you dialogue and strong reconciliation takes place in country, iraq as we saw from patricias piece, this was crucial to have dominant interests in iraq, and those countries in the middle east, it remains today crucial for many reasons to not let this devolve on its own and come what may, right . We want to keep this as stable as possible. I think thats true, but i think we also moved way beyond the analysis of the center and the periphery being the center, the western nations, and the periphery are countries that just need to be stable enough for the center to be stable. We recognize there is much more inter dependence, and for it to be successful there needs to be space for people on the ground to be able to create their own system. I think that would happen naturally. I think the sectarian divides that you mentioned, the situation in syria the conflicts which have made it difficult to stabilize. I think to put the unity government to then deal with the pressing issues at the border and security. And at the moment thats not a priority for Prime Minister Nouri Almaliki. Thank you for joining pus. Thank you for having yes. Up next, a Venture Capitalist on tech know, an amazing new species is discovered. Kind of like were watching little architects in action one of natures mysteries solved. I dont think its a spider or mite in the amazon rainforest were gonna try to get one in the act of actually making the structure tech know, every saturday go where science meets humanity. This is some of the best driving ive every done, even though i cant see. Tech know. Were here in the vortex. Only on al Jazeera America. Real reporting from around the world. This is what we do. Al Jazeera America. And the bitcoin auction winner is a Silicon Valley Venture Capital guy. He submitted the bid for 30,000 of the nearly 150,000 bit coins the u. S. Government seized when it shut down th the black market silk road last year. He said he wants to use the bit coins he bought to help emerging economies that have been ham strung by weak currencies. Its a Virtual Currency whose value has had wild swings. We dont know how much draper paid, but 30,000 bit coins were worth 17 million before the auction. Bitcoins path has been shaky. The bust of silk roads where users allegedly bought guns did not help. The chairman and ceo of the Silicon Valley based x Price Foundation where i serve as a border member. It creates challenges around some of the Biggest Challenges in the world that will provide incentives to solve the problems. Peter believes bitcoin will do just that. And that did will have an effect and we should not ignore it. So much so that you sold some of your holdings. I hold you out to be one of the smartest people on earth. What are you doing, my friend . Hi, ali. Were living during an extraordinary time of rapid change. I want to take you back to the days when you first heard about email or this thing called a website. What is email . The u. S. Post office ask great. I get sears catalog, what do i need a website for . Do you remember how strange it was . You heard all this buzz about it, but until you actually got to use t now i cant go ten seconds without checking my email, and everyone is using website from amazon, google, twitter, and whatever the case might be. I want you to imagine today that bitcoin is as the first early days of what you heard about email and what you heard about websites. I believe thats where we are right now. Were just at the very beginning of consumer adoption in use. Why are we thinking about this as an investment opposed to a bigger better pay pal . One thing that everyone watching should know there will only be 21 million bit coins. Unlike currency where we keep making more. Or even gold supplies where we increase the global gold supply or diamonds or anything that we hold of value. The bitcoin, the protocol created in 2008 and released i in 2009 stipulates specifically 21 million ever period. And a bit coin can be subdivided 100 million times into. If, in fact, the bitcoin becomes and has the vision to potentially to a global currency where millions or hundreds of millions of people are using it, the price per bitcoin could go from where it is today at 650 and some say it will go up to 100. In order to provide that level of global currency movement. Youre on an Old Fashioned medium, were on cable television, which for a guy who thinks about space this is Old Fashioned. You like to mess with the order of things. How much of that is in bitcoin. Bitcoin has the potential to get rid of central banks. Get rid of basically a trading exchanges like wall street. It dematerializes things like credit cards and then demon demonetize. When you pay on your credit card, youre paying 3 to 5 , depending on what your rates are. And in a developing world like africa to transfer money could cost 12 fees on a money transfer. Imagine if you could transfer will it be obvious when that moment comes that its reasonable to use bitcoin for a person of meager means to transfer money because its not going to go nuts in value over the course of six hours . I think a good friend of mine barry sillberg talks about the five faces that bitcoin is moving through. The first face was experimen experimenta experimentalists, just the people who were the geeks who created this. The second phase he talks about was when silk road was announced and got a lot of publicitied. And then the bitcoin wallets and technologies were created. The third face where we are right now is amazing capitalists who are beginning to invest in bitcoin companies. These are companies that will make bitcoin easily useable. You can use them on your cell phone. Barry said by the end of the 20132015 were going see the wall street phase where wall street looks at this as asset class. Prettying products, investing in it. When that happens were talking about 18 months where we could see the beginning of global adoption. This is whereyou and i have talked about this, right. Amazing projects with google are coming on, and these 3 billion new people coming online, you may not think a lot about the amount of wealth but they represent tens of trillions of dollars flowing to the global economy, and they dont have credit cards, and most of them dont have bishops, but they do have a cell phone and internet connection. Imagine people coming online using bitcoin as their means of currency trade. Now its a game changer. Thats what i think about getting excited about. Ive seen your mind work. And ive watched you for many years. Youre a bit crazy, but youre never wrong. Im going to sophisticate with you. Peter diamondis. Taking a vacation from your electronic device. Well loo talk with an expert who says if you look up from your device product, you may see if youre using twitter for networking it is time for digit tap time out. Step one is to leave that smart phone as home before you go on vacation. I left mine in my desk. According to mario armstrong. He said a pay as you go phone is one way to go. I asked him if i do that how will i post all myselfies to instagram . To a lot of people who are connected to digital gadgets, but theyre taking our attention away from what is important to us. Take a digital diet. When you go on vacation, do just that. If you dont want to buy a prepaid phone and leave the other one at home, at least leave it in the room so were not always on it. Roaming fees will help. Thats right. I was in london with my wife. She dropped her phone and it broke. I thought it would ruin things, and no, it was fine. Youll get your stuff. Its all backed up. And in the old days when you lost your phone, you lost all you lost everything. Not now. You get it back in a knew days. She probably had a great trip because that have. What are you using techwise . The smart phone, you know, get that work done. The computer in the palm of your hand, for sure. For relaxation and entertainment im using the new power beats wireless, brand new head sets that loop over the ears. But there is a band that goes behind the neck so you wear it this way. But these are great for working out, doing business calls on and everything else. Theyre great for that. And very cool and they sound amazing. Before you got on you were dipping that yellow thing. Yes, i met this ceo, this designer, this creator, this is called the ice wind band. This is a head band that a kid could wear. If they fall into the pool and after a certain amount of time your bluetooth connected device would be alerted. Lets say my toddler is at the swimming pool. Falls in the water, and in three seconds ill get a red siren alarm through bluetooth. This guy is helping to save lives. What are you doing appswise . My first one is for rela relaxation. Its called drink. Drync. This is an app when you go out to eat. You see that beautiful bottle of wine. You take a picture of the bottle, then you can order the wine and ship it to your home or your friends house. On the productivity side. I love wunder list. Here is my problem with the to do list. Everybody puts what they want to accomplish but they dont put in the small steps that they need to check that thing off. Which is why that thing never disappears. The task is too big. I want to you give me your five gadget rules. Do not rush to be an early adopter. You should not buy the first thing. Dont be quick to update their software. Let somebody else update it. Thats right. The bugs are going to happen and youre stuck with all that good stuff. Number three, consider your need. Yes, before you buy. You want to do an assessment before you buy. A lot of people get caught up in the hype. Dont buy outdated stuff just because its free. Its not going to be any good. And stick with the name brands. Dont miss around with stuff that is great price but you never heard of the company before. Pete, for the next two years. Next two years digitally is going to be more intense. Were going to see more sensors. Weve heard announcementments from apple and google. Were going to see the android interface in vehicles. What you see on your smart phone will be in the dashboard. Not weird apps but your apps will be in the dashboard. Two, you can see things like the thermostat bought by goggle, and drop cam is a video camera for your home. So you can imagine a new thermostat could have sensors in it, google data in, and could have a web camera in it as well. So i think what im getting at is a lot of merging of more technologies together as opposed to having technologies that have one utility. I think well see a lot of merging of utilities that we havent thought of. You brought something called the never settle club. A whole movement of positiv positivity to profit from their passion. People like you are doing what they love and people aspire to do that. But some people are working in a deadend jobs to make ends meet.
