Jobs Are For Suckers. Work For Yourself.

The Creative Class website looks at a study that shows only 45 percent of Americans are satisfied with their employment. That's the lowest figure in 22 years. Young people are the least happy in their jobs - 64 percent are dissatisfied.

Will entrepreneurship rise? Will innovation increase? Keep your fingers crossed.
