What does that have to do with it?
Too obvious to answer

And who says you have to stay there, are you in prison?

You have to live in a place you like, or you will be unhappy

you like a place where no one is willing to give you meaningful,
fairly paid employment?
I think that would make most people extremely unhappy.

And why do you have to be an entrepreneur or a salesman?

Because it's extremely difficult to find a job working for someone else.
Extremely difficult? Most people work for someone else. The
unemployment rate in Western Countries is rarely greater than 10%
usually much lower, which means the vast majority of people find
employment. And people are generally unemployed temporarily as they go
in and out of jobs. Permanent unemployement is a sign of a problem
that you really need to deal with.

Most people who fly airplanes are not entrepreneurs or salesman.

A surprising number of them seem to be self-employed.
many airplane owners are self employed because owning a business ,
requires taking a lot of risk , and usually considerable skills in a
particular area, a wealthy person is thus more likely to a business
owner than an employee. But most people who fly, like myself , do not
own an airplane and simply rent with disposable income from working
for other people or companies.

We just get off our butts and work .

So do entrepreneurs and salespeople.
so do garbage collectors and doctors, whats your point? As you clearly
stated you are not cut out to be an entreprenuer or salesman, neither
am I, but so what, I am not cut out for hundreds of occupations, but
you dont need to be , you only have to find one. That could be
English Teaching. People make perfectly good, if not exceptional
incomes from teaching, certainly enough to be able to learn to fly and
live a comfortable life without begging. I think the bottom line is
you dont really want to participate in the real world do you?
