A strong work ethic may be a virtue, but it’s not always a good sign for the economy.
TikToker Isabella Azar (@withbellsmedia) expressed her anger at the two-job phenomenon that's affecting younger Americans these days. The L.A.-based marketing consultant heard about one woman who took on a weekend waitressing job to supplement her corporate job income — which didn’t manage to cover her bills.
“The weekends: when we’re supposed to be relaxing, unwinding from our corporate job,” Azar said in her viral video. “But nope, nope, time to go to your second job.”
Azar believes that her generation has been “sold a scheme.” A college degree no longer guarantees you a stable job that pays you enough to support yourself or family.
“We’re all out here in college loan debt with jobs that are not covering all of our bills, so we’re getting second jobs on the weekends,” she added.

Eventually it’s going to be like 1919, when we came very dangerously close to a worldwide Bolshevik Revolution, it was much closer to becoming a reality than many people think.

Get you two jobs and pay your taxes. Illegal aliens depend on it.

I really have issues with that statement. I was just doing my duty.
I don’t care that you “thank me”. What I want know is your son or daughter signed up?
Are you ready to sacrifice your son or daughter for the common good? I don’t believe so.
She’s finally getting it?????
Wow! I will be sure to NOT engage with your BS self again. You do not know me or my family and have insulted many on my side! You are a true fake POS BS troll! No one on FR has to justify their “sacrifice” to you a complete B@sturd!
Just yesterday I was telling my daughter she should consider Anápolis for College. No I do not know you. Are you insulted? Exactly why?
Seems you are the troll if you cannot provide specifics.

There are no guarantees. Life is what you make of it.
I don’t blame you. What an ass.
It used to be, acc. to my dear Dad who has passed on, that Pennsylvania corporations hired people with degrees from Pennsylvania universities like Pitt, Penn State etc. for management positions, because so many of their managers graduated from those schools. People’s local connections were important. Now everything is global and with everyone going to college, the competition is crushing. Graduates are competing with a favored stream of Ivy League candidates.
Great post.
Show up on time everyday, make the boss look good and be employed for life.
I read of the modern problems-meanwhile we have first person access to almost anyone on earth.
Want to be a zookeeper? Diamond cutter? Risk analyst? Plenty of everything are at one’s fingertips and often willing to lend a hand.
If one can’t make it here, they’re not making it anywhere.
