[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course. My brother is on the brink of homelessness because he won't just got get a job at target. [/quote]

Ha!  I have one of those too!

McDonald's, Walmart, Target, and Sheetz, which are all within walking distance to his apartment and hiring, are all beneath him.  Instead he bums rides, scrapes together cab fare, or texts me to order him an Uber (when really desperate) to get to a job in the next town over where he's only getting ~20 hours/week because that's where all his friends work.

My mom supported my brother for 18 months so he wouldn't have to take a job that was "beneath" him.  I've always had to support myself and have had all kinds of jobs, including a number of those that were considered beneath my brother.  Since graduating from college (many years ago), I've been lucky enough to work in my chosen profession, but I'd still do whatever I had to do to keep a roof over my head.  In 8th grade, my English teacher stressed that there was no shame in making an honest living and I've always held onto that.
