[quote=Anonymous]In college I lived in a pretty rich area but we had a lot of pockets of middle class folks and folks with HS degrees, with kids and a single family homes

My town had three credit card and bank processing operations centers all 24 hours a day. Citigroup, Barclays and Mastercard.

I worked the 8- 4 shift in summer and during school the 4pm to midnight shift. We allowed folks to do a 45 minute lunch so most folks left at 3:45 pm or 11:45 pm.

We actually had a guy who worked at Master card 8-4 and Citi 4-12. Two jobs!!! I recall he slept in his van at lunch and breaks.

Buy more common we had husband and wife teams. I recall this man I worked with nice guy, lived in a very nice area, but only HS degree.

He worked 8 to 3:45 pm with me. Him and wife would get their two kids on bus by 730 am and wife would drop him off at work, she go home take a nap, get lunch ready next day, get dinner going, she gets kid off bus at 3pm.

She then would drive back to office with kids to go to work as she started at 4pm, husband would come out, get in car, drive kids home, help them with home work, get dinner on table, clean up, get kids to bed, take a nap go pick up wife at midnight while kids in bed.

Would anyone do that today? But think about it bother were HS educated, had their own house in a nice neighborhood.

They had one car, no childcare. always a parent home with kid. Then lived like ten minutes from office. To make things better one worked with me at Master cards and other at Citigroup in office next to us. So they had two companies benefits to choose from and less chance of getting laid off same time.

People today would nevcer do taht.
