Jacob Sundstrom, 22, graduated from college last year with good grades and aspirations of becoming a sportswriter. But he couldn’t find a full-time position and now lives with his parents in Fontana.
From the article: “People made a good trade-off 50 years ago — working 40 hours a week to have a home, send their kids to college and retire — but now they’re asking why they should have a full-time job if there’s no job security or benefits,”
Job security? YOU are your job security. Learn something of value, learn work ethic, work hard for your employer and most of all, learn that your employer is not your adult baby sitter, counselor, pseudo mom, or responsible for your own actions.
Learn your trade or job very well and strive to excel at it and if your employer does not advance you, simply seek employment at another business. No one is making you stay there. In a “free society” business (not unionized, government, or government contracting) you will be compensated at a rate that will allow YOU to purchase your health insurance (used to be that way before obamacare) and other needed services.
Today’s employee’s M.O. is “I don’t have any skills but if you train me I’ll work for you.....but I won’t if you fail to pay me the same wages as those who are experts in their field and have worked for you for years.......MAKING A PROFIT FOR THE COMPANY.
Today’s job applicant has come to expect a job...not the chance to have a job. That, you have to earn.
Yeah, I'd probably skip that one.
Basically, it's an entrepreneurial economy, which is much healthier than an employee economy.
Wanna make a buck...you'll have to hustle and produce.
If you're lazy or sloppy or unproductive, you don't eat.
Morally challenged freelance entertainers have been around a long tome in LA there called hookers and reporters.
Then with upwards of 60 million Latinos being introduced into the economy, it’s about to get very entrepreneurial and very healthy by your measure.
LOL...it sure is.
