Let's look in on America's perfect family - the Joneses.
Why, just look at their amazing life!
Safe, secure jobs.
Social respect and admiration
A growing family.
Home ownership!
New model cars.
And a gourmet kitchen.
Yes, the Joneses are living proof that if we're willing to follow the same trusted path...
What! How did we ever buy into that myth?
Since we have been young, we have been indoctrinated to follow a prescribed formula.
You have to get a degree...
...and get the best job that you can.
...the white picket fence...
...the big-screen TV...
...two-point-five kids...
...the babe, the boat, the bucks. The job, the six figures.
Work for forty, fifty years...and then retire.
I did all of the things that were expected of me...at the expense of my dreams.
Every Monday I would walk on the beach, and put my iPod in, and wonder what was wrong with me.
