Do you believe its possible to build your dream life if you live in a free country with limited government control?

My dream life would be to work as a psychology or social studies professor or to live in Miami or California as a business owner. I also think a religious career would be fun but there are two things with that - you are either poor - or your perceived as a fraud for taking hard earned money and using it to buy a big house. Nobody hates you if you are a surgeon and buy a big home but people will hate you if your a religious preacher and buy a big home.

No, we need government control. You shouldn't be allowed to practise medicine without a license or sell food without a food hygiene certificate. No one is stopping you studying psychology and getting recognized qualifications but you shouldn't be allowed to call yourself one after watching one YouTube video.
Getting rid of government interference makes it a con mans paradise and devalues each profession and trade

You just mean paradise right? Limited government control allows everyone to display their talents. Results are the deciding factor.

If your food tastes bad or makes people sick, people won't buy from you. Food hygiene certificate or not. Likewise with medicine. If your patients don't get better, then people don't come to you. All these pointless pieces of paper just restrict access to poorer people.

Yes, I think if you have a country that's high in trust and big communities, even in a night watch man state or a anarchy state, the people would restrict themselves according to the community. That why, the rules more or less would depend on where you live and you could live where things best fitted you.

Thanks for picking my opinion 🙃

That depends what you mean by "free country". Americans go on and on about freedom, while simultaneously having the highest rate of incarcerated people per capita in the world. So like, there's levels to it.

I also considered a religious career, until I discovered it requires a degree. A degree to end up poor. It's clearly not my calling.

I would like to think so.
