[quote=Anonymous]I can’t imagine not working a “non career” job at least once. Because it humbles you, and gives you perspective. An adult who has only worked professional jobs is often the adult that falls off a cliff during a recession or after getting fired. I’ve observed it many times - these adults lose their good jobs and if they can’t get a similar replacement, they will just …be unemployed for years on end. Remember - a low wage job is also replaceable. You get fired from Subway, you can go get another. It’s not career ending. These jobs are always there. And quick to get and quick to quit when a better opportunity comes along. I know too any adults in their 30s and 40s just frozen in place who had these upper class upbringings. My teenager has worked for the city park dept as a camp counselor - it’s kind of the best of both worlds. It’s “menial” but still on a city pay scale with a boss who is an educated well paid professional. [/quote]
