> You will run out of jobs far more quickly than you can acquire new ones. In urban areas, if you're looking for the garden-variety McJob, that's not really true. There are thousands of different employers in retail, food-service, small-scale manufacturing, etc. in a major metro area. Figure that it takes you 2-3 weeks to get fired at each one, you only need 1000 different employers to get through your working life. Maybe a bit more since you have multiple employers going at once, but still < 10,000. Plus there's turnover in employers as well - the average business fails within 5 years, so they drop out of the pool and are replaced by new businesses that have never heard of you.
