If you have ability / skill that is valuable, then half of what you said no longer applies.

And if you possess that and still can't stand the status quo, you get to invent a new one: start your own thing, and do it your way.

I discovered very early on that I was incapable of working for other people, for numerous reasons. So I figured out how I could arrange my life so that I wouldn't have to ever work for someone else; and of course, there were trade-offs, but they were worth it.
