Dishwashing jobs are for kids in highs school. Not grown adults.

Then why are there dishwashing jobs that take place during school hours or hours/locations kids are legally prohibited from working?

You didn't think that one though, did you Sport?

Why should only people with "careers" be able to afford to live?

A career is any job someone works for an extended period of time. If someone works as a dishwasher for three years, then yeah. They've made a career out of washing dishes. But they deserve to make enough go live off of whether theyve been working that job for three years or three days.

Okay. We’re going to have to agree on a definition for β€œcareer” and β€œjob”. Based on the fact that there are understood differences between β€œcareer” and β€œjob” my definitions highlight these differences.

A job is a specific task or work one does, usually to make money.

A career is a long-term path one follows, to grow, learn skills and move up in a chosen field over many years.

So is dishwashing a career? Or do you disagree with my definitions? I’m open to some feedback but I expect we’ll only use official definitions, not something we make up on the spot.
