I think the poster was trying to say something I fundamentally agree with:

There is something noble (and important) in providing jobs. As a business owner the thing I'm most proud of is now what we make, but the families that can afford a healthy and happy life because of what we make. Over the years I've directly created more than 100 jobs by my best estimation. That's 100 people who have a steady paycheck and everything that comes with it because of what I started.

That's really cool. So while saving the rainforest or joining the peace-corp are both noble and very important, lets not forget that entrepreneurs are very often doing important things with their lives as well.

I think that's what the grand parent was after:)



it seems you forgot that you created your 100th job not all by yourself but with the help of 99 of your previous employees.

so I applaud all 101 of you "job creators"!
