Low job prospects, and many men didn't bother with any education past high school. Their job prospects are dim

I’ve known of a couple women in the education field that did DoorDash to supplement.

I’ve been saying for a long time that I’ll be able to work for as long as I want to, as long as I’m flexible about the kinds of work available.

This will sound strange but reality. I don't work as many hours per week as I used to for myself and have a bit of free time. For the last ~ 2 years or so, I've been running DoorDash 10-12 or so hours a week. My daughter is a 2024 college grad and doing the SMU Cox Masters online hybrid thing. Has a great job thankfully. So, I set my DD account up with her acct/routing number and she's paid weekly from it. Not much, maybe 600-800 a month. But it helps her with the ancillaries and I get the tax statement while she gets the money. IDK. It works though.

4.2% inflation, gas is $4.00 dollars a gallon and people are forced to take jobs that increase wear and tear on their only assets. Great job america.

Here we go again. Younger generations bitching how hard they have it.

No you don’t.

Noticing the opposite in ATL. Hard to come by a gig worker who isn't cracked out.
