I agree with you,the employer “sacrifices” his capital on a venture that can enable someone to have a job, if successful, but in this case, our (friend) is saying the employee is doing the “sacrificing”?
Wow, we are upside down as a nation.
(Legal Irish) Immigrants (like my ancestors) came here to work hard, gain ground,to someday hope to be that “employer”. I am saddened by people who do not understand America and capitalism.
By the way, being an employee of a pizza parlor/delivery chain is a “gateway” job, unless you strive to manage one. It was never intended to be a career path, to deliver them.
It is a job for high school/college kids to make a few bucks for extra spending money on their way to a real career. Just thought I'd trow that out there.
We see this the same way.
I credit Thomas Sowell for helping me understand the issue of gateway jobs in an educational and engaging way in his book “Basic Economics: A Citizen’s Guide to The Economy”
Gateway jobs are not meant to be held on forever. They are meant as a gateway to advancing your abilities and career. They were never meant to provide someone with a “Living Wage” (a term I despise)
They were meant to be a stepping stone. But liberals want people to stay in those jobs.
