| flagship said: No, there aren't many jobs to be had right now and companies are much more interested in hiring people who still have jobs than the unemployed. It's especially nasty because retailers have done very little seasonal hiring this year, I just hope that also means they do very little seasonal firing come January. I'm not saying that there aren't a decent number of people on unemployment who aren't actually looking for work, I've met a couple of people who would much rather collect $300 a week from the government and play xbox than do hard labor for $400 a week. |
You aren't going to be able to do a whole lot of Xbox playing on $300 a week budget unless you are living with your guardians or someone else whose giving you free housing. $400 a week is a miserly pittance of a living. Even if you managed to go from paycheque to paycheque with just $400, just wait until you get sodomized up the ass by a big unexpected expense. Shit happens man. Oh you are due for a checkup with your dentist? Take it up the ass or let your teeth go bad. Oh you have to get fillings? Get raped up the ass or lose your teeth. Oh you ran out of ink? Gotta go get more ink (even little expenses like that takes its toll when you are balancing a tight budget like $400 a week). Oh your car broke down? (and for a lot of people, you do need a car for work. I have to get a car soon because not having only limits my options as to where I can apply) Shit son. Oh you live in the US where health care is mostly paid out of pocket? Dayum I hope nothing bad happens to you. Shit happens man. Shit happens. When people are all like "minimum wage is good enough to make a living", those people need to shut the fuck up. I don't blame people on welfare taking the $300/week sitting at home over the $400/week having to pay public transit (at the very least) to go to work every day to and back, working their ass off 40 hours a week. Why live like shit and work hard when you can just simply live like shit?
