A job is a job, but a good job is better than a bad one.
A bad job with no prospects of turning into anything else, is pretty close to as bad as unemployment to my mind.
- __abc 10y agoI think it's easy for us (most likely anybody readying HN) to not understand how impactful this could be to someone's family/life. WE get to be selective of "does this job help my career trajectory" but not everyone. This MAY be life changing for those 100,000 individuals.
- SAI_Peregrinus 10y agoIt all comes down to the difference between a job and a career.
- __abc 10y agoLet us not forget not everyone has the luxury of picking between the two.
- astrodust 10y agoThere are jobs so bad that being unemployed is an improvement because at least then you have time to find something better. Too many people are stuck in the trap of working for a terrible employer that beats them down psychologically, treats them like dirt, and forces them to jump through endless hoops just to keep their crappy job.
