"When you are poor..."
When you are poor, then every DECENT and legal job is fine.
People say that there is not job and its not true. If you find then you could get. However, most jobs are crap but crap that its legal and decent. My first job was 12h x 7 days, however, i enjoyed and earned money. In my second job, i doubled my salary and so on.
There are a lot of people that simply don't want to work. Usually the first job is crap. But most people want a perfect job without having the degree, experience and expertise.
And if you can't find a job then join the army.
- king_magic 9y agoI see the “decent” qualifier in your comment, but I think the point of this article is that “decent” working conditions may rarely be an option for many poor people. E.g., some have so few options that cleaning asbestos without adequate protection may be the only thing they can get paid to do on a given day.
- cyberpunk0 9y agoYeah you give some horrible advice.
- dang 9y agoWould you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to HN? We eventually ban accounts that do that. Instead, if you'd read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html and maybe even http://paulgraham.com/hackernews.html http://paulgraham.com/hackernews.html and take the spirit of the site to heart, we'd appreciate it.
- cyberpunk0 9y agoWhat else should I say? Telling people to just join the army OS horrible advice? Do I need to write a 30 page novel about it?
