Default make a living without working for the man?

what are options for people who don't like to be told what to do? I am very likely not cut out for a 9-5 so I'd like to know my options. I guess I could be a musician or gambler or entrepeneur. what else is out there?

i think it's pretty accurate generalization that people have independent success not because they "didn't like being told what to do", but that they thought they could do a better job than those who were doing the telling. if a casual notion of "being free" is all you've got for inspiration, good luck.

If you aren't cut out for 9-5, what makes you think you are cut out for 9-9?

Contract killer

Drug dealer

Pimp

Garbage man

You could offer yourself up as a sacrifice to the volcano god of the indigenous people of a small island in the South Pacific in exchange for a rich businessman to completely take care of you in the weeks leading up to our death, because he needs to find a suitable sacrifice in order to continue mining the island.

I guess I wasn't clear that when I said 9-5 I generally meant the beuracracy, reporting to bosses, climbing corporate ladder, etc. involved. When focused I feel like I work better than just about anybody else.
