Tech job conditions are the problem, not having kids.

Do you want good reasons to not have kids?

- The future for them does not look promising at all

- Enjoy your life and travel anywhere, change job anytime, change location any moment

- Sleep whenever you want

- Use any drugs you want (even just weed is an issue with kids under 18)

- Start any hobby or job any time you want

- Buy an house without be worried to be homeless

- No guilt for be responsible of their life, of any problem they face, any transmitted genetic issue you may find later on

- If you have no family or relatives or friends to make your kids know, share and play with, it's pretty much like not having kids at all



These reasons are entirely on a person-by-person basis. Sleeping and drug use isn't going to sway somebody away from wanting to start a family.

Many people have no kids and still can't simply change their job, location, travel or buy a home.


Some people desire more out of life than the pursuit of a hedonistic lifestyle.
