Do teenagers want the jobs?
It seems to me more and more of the young FEEL they deserve things without having to work towards buying them.
(I am speaking with limited experience, mostly from local news in Philly.)
Some say that people’s attitudes about work and certain jobs have changed. When is the last time you saw a black woman working as a maid? Years ago, many maids or domestic helpers were black women. Some say that today’s young people feel that certain jobs are beneath them. Any honest job should be something that people with limited or no education would be happy to have, but, it seems that nowadays, some people feel that they shouldn’t be expected to do certain lower level jobs.
The sad part is, that certain people wouldn’t have to be doing such jobs forever. There is still upward mobility in the work force, for those who choose to participate in the work force. But due to these modern times, a feeling that illegals should do these jobs, a feeling that these jobs don’t pay enough to enable them to live in the status to which they are accustomed, or whatever else, many young people eschew certain jobs, which past generations of young people were happy to do.
