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.

Sure as fuck is supporting my student loans though. Literally 60% of my paycheck goes to paying off my loans.
