The benefits of working for the man

The benefits of working for the man

KERA's Think

The idea that owning will make you happy and fulfilled is part of the self-determinism ideal of the American Dream. Benjamin C. Waterhouse, associate professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss myths about being your own boss and why you might actually be happier working a regular 9-5 job. His book is “One Day I’ll Work for Myself: The Dream and Delusion That Conquered America.”
