[quote=Anonymous]College was paid by my parents. I worked retail to cover my basic living expenses and to also have some extra spending money. I was regularly scheduled between 4-5 days a week and if I wanted to pick up an extra shift there was always one available just as long as I did not go over 40 hours. Now let us fast forward 20 years. My nieces and nephews, not only is their college not already paid for but they are lucky if they are scheduled even 2 days a week if they try and work any retail job. On top of that, basic living expenses continue to go up. What is a young person today supposed to do? Depend on their parents to also cover their basic living expenses in addition to also providing some spending money? Why are retail employers reluctant to schedule their part timers to more than 1-2 days a week? [/quote]
