"People should take ANY job they can find, or 2 or yes, 3."
Have you had to take 2 or 3 to make ends meet? Easy to say, hard to do. The point is not whether jobs are available but what kind of jobs are left.

Have you had to take 2 or 3 to make ends meet? I have. I worked hard, raised a kid by myself, and bought a home, then bought another one in a better area. Then I had to work even harder and more. Now, after many years, it's paying off, my house payment 20 years ago was almost the entire salary of one job, now it's a mere pittance.
Easy to say, hard to do.
Not really, although I wouldn't want to do it today. That's what youth is for.

Yes I had to work 2 jobs at one time. It's not fun, but you do it.
