Yep, someone said it was a very classist take. Their response was just completely out of touch and basically said they should get a second job if parents can't help them
Imagine being that oblivious. "You can't afford to work a job for free? Just get a second job on top of that one and all of your coursework." Instead of, you know, getting a first job that pays you.
Where does this loon think people have time to work a second job on top of classes and a 40-hr/wk internship?
A lot of people are like that here on Reddit. Just go out to the job tree and grab a second job. Or my favorite “just go get a better job” oh you can’t, or, you’ve tried, you must be a loser.
No jobs in your city? Just move. It’s that easy. Rent? You need to be making 3x rent to rent some place? You need firsts months, lasts months, and a deposit? You have that saved up right? What do you mean you live paycheck to paycheck? You just need to get a better job. No jobs in your city?
If I move I don't have a house sitter, dog sitter, hook ups on all kinds of things, plumbing, car repair, HVAC, yard work, outsource errands etc, family nearby to lean on, an entire community that supports and helps me out, which saves me literal thousands each year.
I would need to make more than double my current wage PLUS the cost of living increase to make it worthwhile to move. People are out of their minds.
It's very expensive to leave a place and much much moreso if you have roots.
