Can anyone point me to the related post from a few weeks back, that concerned the change in the workforce from 'safe' corporate jobs to a more 'free-agent' based workforce?
Concerning the article, my wife pointed out that when she graduated with a Liberal Arts degree and started working as a tech-writer back in 2000, her starting salary was $42,000. A considerable more useful sum than $40k would be today.
The guy in the article seems pretty stupid not to have taken the $40k, seeing as he seems to have no other plan whatsoever. One revealing thing is his comment about his cell bill. You can be sure his parents are also paying for the house, for food, supplying a vehicle, paying insurance, buying him clothes, medical insurance.
My verdict: he's a sheltered little corporate would-be drone, with zero actual knowledge of the world.
