Well, in some situations ... not all situations, but some situations ... your statement actually ends up explaining how good a service job is. If it is hard to find work in a “better field” that could be because there are few options. Or it could be because the service job is much better than could be expected based on skill set, education level, etc. In NYC most (not all) people who work as a waiter could get a job as a plumber’s apprentice. This statement isn’t random. I know at least one plumber who regularly asks me if I know anyone who wants work, I’ve discussed their needs in an entry level employee, and as far as I can tell the only problem versus a food service job is being asked to wake up early and work a consistent 40 hour work week. So if someone chooses to be a bartender instead, is it because their options “suck” or is it because bar tending is a pretty good gig?
