I don’t know how to put this without getting a few gasps, but some of us are really okay with our 9-5 jobs.
I don’t want to start my own business, I don’t have that bone in me. So, when an entrepreneur says something like this person below, one has to stop them for a conversation.
If you can’t explain your startup idea in a single sentence, then you should continue doing 9 to 5.

First of all, why is pitching the idea in one line a prerequisite? I mean, is that a thing? Anyway, I am ready to let this pass because my knowledge in the field is clearly not much.
No, plenty of entrepreneurs don’t spend their time trying to write a elevator pitch.

They’re too busy trying to build the next big thing.
Do that, and you’ll be able to quit your job.
But why? So If the explanation spills to 3 sentences does that mean startup is gonna fail? Lol

But the connotation that 9-5 jobs are somewhat less desirable, is a bit odd. And I am not the only one who has this opinion. A lot of people on Twitter do.
What’s wrong with a 9 to 5? 🤔I think we as a society need to stop talking down on hard-working people who have a 9 to 5 to support their families.

Those 9 to 5 goers are the ones making a startup grow. I wonder if a start-up owner can code for all life and perform other tasks required in a company if he/she doesn't have "9-5 people". https://t.co/8ZZuqJXvSs

Some day I will want to understand why we have so much disdain for regular job goers. If all becomes start up founders who in God’s name will work in them ?! https://t.co/jneQqxvOzt

Lmao, startup hustlers really be thinking they are their own boss when they have more stakeholders to answer to than any ‘9 to 5 loser’ would. https://t.co/S1JnSHhNqG

It is physically impossible for me to explain anything in one line. By this person’s logic, thank God I didn’t become an entrepreneur.
