>>14886513>In this sense they are "jobs", they are not careers, you're not supposed to do jobs long term, they're stop gaps to help you live while you pursue higher goals like skillsI agree that you should pursue higher goals. But most people make minimum wage or are 10-20k from it. It should not be that only a elite professional upper middle class should be able to own a house. That is the failure of the American dream and the failure of the system.
>The only thing unusual about this is that govt paid people money not to workKek no. That's a neocon talking point a complete lie. Average stimulus check in America was $1,200 per person....lol LMAO sure some people got unemployment but that's run out for most people by now. And if the dole paid enough that people felt okay to quit their job that really says a lot about the pathetic wages we are paid. No.What really happened is that people were shown that they didn't have to work as hard as they were for as little as they were getting and they adapted their lifestyle. Young men and women thought to themselves gee maybe I could live at home? That's what I did I paid 30k on a down payment for my parents house we bought together, I do the cooking and cleaning and maintenance and they take care of most of the bills it's been really nice. I'm sure young mothers decided to become stay at home mom's and actually raise their children.People realized the system is broken because for the first time in their lives they had the time to think.
>It doesn't matter if that's being a carpenter, plumber, accountant or computer scientist.These different careers paid different wages so it absolutely does matter.
>investments pay divedends, although not enough to live off until you've saved a LOT of moneyYou should look into options selling.... Of course it's ridiculous to suggest everyone should become a trader but from the individual perspective you'll make the most money with the least amount of work so it's what I suggest.
