The counter guy at Kragen has a steady, predictable but inglorious life. He is unlikely to know the panic and heartbreak of catastrophic failure or the brutal exhaustion of 16 hour work days. He made choices. Comfortable choices. It's not always pretty, but it's the essential flip-side of freedom. Even without an education, he could have chosen a more financially rewarding course. But for every guy who swings a 16 ounce framing hammer all day because the pay is good, there is a guy behind the counter at Kragens because that is where he wants to be.
True freedom includes the freedom to fail.
