> Use low paid jobs as a stepping stone to better paid jobs. This is a naive take. It's not a game where if you grind enough you get experience and your level increases. If you're working multiple jobs, I doubt your performance will be good enough to be the first in line for a promotion. You also won't have time and energy for an education that allows you a better job in a different industry. Probably won't even have money to pay for courses, nor to take time off and do something different. Not to mention that those situations are taxing on your body and mental health, putting you in a competitive disadvantage with other employees. Low wage jobs that don't pay enough to survive are not a stepping stone, they are a trap. It is also a drain on society: these jobs don't allow people to scale up the ladder, so the pool of workers in these jobs gets bigger and bigger, which in turn pushes wages further down. > Some work unfortunately needs to be done at ungodly hours The discussion is not about ungodly hours but about getting the necessary amount of sleep. You can work nights for 8h and have a decent sleep schedule. It's not optimal, of course, but it's very different from working two, three jobs and not having time to sleep.
