One of the reasons is that people simply [b]have more options for other work/other means of making money than ever before[/b].  They dont have to settle for that factory or waiter job [/quote]

I downloaded TikTok during the pandemic to check it out before my youngest was allowed to download it to make the silly dances. I was shocked at how many side hustle into full hustle jobs were featured.

There's a lady one there making tons of $$$ mixing glitter. That's right... mixing glitter. She buys glitter in bulk in different size grades and makes special mixes, like "under the sea" and "starry night" etc.

And who buys these glitter mixes? The ladies who buy Starbucks tumblers to personalize and bling up.

It's mind blowing at just how many crafty people on there are using the platform to promote their skills, which converts to orders. There's even some teen entrepreneurs on there who have whole ass factories/production lines with employees for their slime businesses, t-shirt businesses, etc.

Young people have learned that if you don't want to work for someone else, you can just make use of a skill/talent you have and work for yourself. Consumers also want to buy local, buy small instead of from big corporations.

My cousin's daughter started making bead jewelry when she was 14 because nowhere would hire her at that age. She set up an Etsy shop and did pretty well for herself because she just bought her own first car at 17 before Christmas. [/quote]
