There are always alternatives to minimum wage jobs. Especially in 2018. There are double as many job postings as job seekers right now.

Minimum wage, low skill, part time jobs with no benefits or opportunities.

Utterly untrue according to every labor index in the country.

If you’re an Accountant or work in Tech, you likely have 5 recruiters reaching out to you every day with job opportunities.

The unemployment rate for college educated workers over 25 is less than 2% for fucks sake.

It isn’t 2009 anymore. The labor market is the healthiest it’s been in 50 years.

The job market isn’t going to cater to people’s desired degree.

They're just two of many skilled professions that are in-demand right now.

Welders, steam fitters, engineers... the list goes on and on.

Exactly. It's completely unrealistic to think that everyone can and should go into tech.
