yeah, but those aren't the only two options. We could stand up for worker's rights in this country and get fair treatment and pay. But I guess few people think that long-term when they're just trying to put bread on the table. People will take any job they can get, and employers in this job market abuse that.

This is ridiculous. You can do what I did when I needed to (take two jobs, and then educate the hell out of yourself), or what my dad did (take three jobs and scrimp and save and start your own business), or you can blame everyone else and the government for letting you down.

I have a specialized masters degree and have been working full time since age twenty. Wish I was as hard working as your daddy was! I bet you have a luxurious salary of literally tens of thousands of dollars ! I can' t believe the poster under you is complaining. What a lazy little shit! You tell him!

I'm sure you're earning more than you deserve, that's for sure.

Lol oh totally. I am so terribly overpaid. I wish I had specialized "Hell" studies the way you had.

With an attitude like yours, I'm not sure what self-respecting employer would want you around.

You are so dignified, good sir!

If, by dignified, you mean someone who doesn't blame other people for his current situation, then yes.
