[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Employers do not want to schedule their employees for more than 2 days/shifts a week. [b]Uber, Uber eats and door dash keep the majority of the money from a transaction. After the Ebay fees and shipping costs there is very little money left to actually make any money from an Ebay sale.

Only about 1 out of 100 people who contact sellers on Facebook marketplace actually want to pay what the seller is asking. 
YouTube requires millions of views in order to earn any significant money. 
Online music streaming platform royalties are laughable unless you are a major music artist.   [/b]

Years ago when I was a younger person, call centers were the big thing among many younger people but now almost all of those jobs have been sent overseas.[/quote]

None of these things existed 30 years ago when is the period I guess "when young people were able to earn decent money", yet there are still fast food restaurants, normal restaurants, amusement parks, ice cream shops, beachside towns, lawn mowing, babysitting, etc. where tons of 18 year olds are able to work if they want.

Your Youtube and Spotify examples are really nuts.  I mean, before the Internet you had to get major label backing in order to make any real money from music.  There was no influencer economy at all and you had to make it as a real actor in Hollywood or Broadway...which again, still exist...in order to make any real money.

I am actually surprised by hearing about kids with just like 20,000 instagram followers at least getting free stuff from brands and making a couple of bucks.[/quote]
