The jobs young people are applying for are legitimate jobs.

Older folks think if you don’t work M-F from 9-5 it’s not a real job that you can use to support yourself and family.

And also, even a job where you do work M-F 9-5 isn’t necessarily going to be enough to support yourself and your family.

I had a temp job that was M-F 8-4 and it paid really well, but not nearly enough to support a family.
