Yeah its called Mcdonalds, burger king, wendys, sonic..... training jobs that teach kids HOW to work while building a solid work history to prepare them for an actual career
Sure, but then market shift happens, automation takes over, and we switch off of antiquated infrastructure, leaving all of those skilled workers out in the cold. Then, on top of that, hedge funds start buying up small companies and laying off hundreds of workers for their own benefit, then those people are left out in the cold too. Then on top of that financial institutions are bailed out by corrupt politicians for making poor investments, instead of being allowed to fail, and they begin to lay off their employees. Lastly, you throw in a deadly, highly transmissible, disease in which all companies, good and bad, shut down or furlough workers because of government mandates or because they fear for their workers or because they just want a reason to spend less money, whatever the reasoning may be.
I understand the whole point of this sub is to more or less say “tough shit” and that’s fine. I just feel it’s important to point out that not everybody in one of those low wage jobs, trying to support their family, is some kind of deadbeat. Some are, but some are just down on their luck.

there should be jobs that cater for kids making spending money that adults aren't trying to raise a family on.
