*Warning - Controversial*

I really don't think anybody wants the job for being leader of the world.

A while ago, I came across a short video on YouTube (or it might have been a tail end of a news bit) that showed George W. Bush talking about his paintings that he started doing since completing his presidency.

For a short but profound moment, I thought: "Wow. What a beautiful human being. He was just so in the wrong job." Of course, I haven't forgotten the very real consequences of him being bad at his job as president. And no, I'm really not ok about it.

But my point is that being in the wrong job had a huge cost for everyone, so it's better to take a pay and status cut to not be in the wrong job. For, literally, everyone.

Imagine if Bush just became an artist? That's an alternate universe I'd be curious to explore.
