How in tarnation does that work when there are not enough jobs to begin with for young people?
Not to mention the sky high cost of renting a home or apartment. Throw in all the other cost of insurance, car payments food, utilities, gas, etc etc...In today's America, millions of adults can't even makes ends meet. Where ya been?
Did ya notice there are millions of empty homes adults couldn't hold onto? The landscape is covered with them.
For the majority of young people, these jobs simple don't pay enough for young people to go get their own place. Yeah, they can go in on an apartment with two or three others, but that only works for a very limited time..It never lasts.
You seem detached from reality.
I disagree with your premise: here in San Antonio, jobs - especially entry-level, just out of college jobs - are going begging. McDonald’s (my first job) is always hiring. Domino’s (my second job), et al always need drivers. If minimum wage isn’t enough, then get a second job. Sorry, we have a baseline disagreement (or difference in job market). My children have never NOT had jobs since they were in high school.
I’m a military reservist and a lawyer with my own itty bitty firm. I work my ass off to pay my two staff people and all the overhead. I sing on the weekends. I disagree that I’m “detached from reality”.
