I'm through looking for the kinds of job where you wake up in the morning to prep for work; work all day; do the evening chores, then an hour or two free time till bed so you can wake up the next day and do it all again. You make enough to get by, but not enough to get rich. That benefit presumably goes to the boss. So life gets wasted.
I'm all for contributing, but there's got to be a better way. |

I can live ultra cheap too, but if I had to live with my family of origin, I'd put a bullet in my head. |

| SilkySifaka, I admit I may sound stupid by arguing this in an ideological manner, but, as LookTwice so concisely wrote, I see this as the remnant - a symptom, perhaps - of everyone's collective desire for more nonsense, and regardless of the amount of things people actually want, the economy still tries to function according to the mean amount of desires (tries to because, of course, it's failing for this exact reason). Just like mobile phone contracts are seemingly priced according to the average amount of messages teenagers send - so everything is biased according to the most greedy. This is why I think, essentially, it could be said to be ideological: the jobs market seems to operate viscerally, and in order to solve that problem the intellect would need to be used. |
