In other words, the more time you spend at a job that doesn't get you closer to your goals, the less time you can spend on getting good at the specific tasks that will take you farther in life. Spending 40 hours a week at a job that is not for you is like throwing all your money away on toys and unnecessary items rather than investing it. Those who know how to invest their time wisely now will reap the benefits in the future. This all jives exactly with your message here. If your job isn't for you, then get out and use your time for better things. Enrich your life rather than suffer through it.
