Jobs Are Everywhere. So Why Aren’t More Young People Working? thefederalist.com/2019/09/24/job…
Some 22-year-olds fresh out of college and loaded with debt would rather spend the afternoon dressing their near-empty resume in buzz words like “detail-oriented” and “results-driven” than snag an unprestigious job immediately to demonstrate hard work and responsibility.
They prefer a leisurely extended stay at their parents’ over trying to hack it in the big expensive city where they chose to attend college. Worse, they turn up their noses at anything outside their “passion” holding out hope their careers as Instagrammers will launch any day now
The business people I’ve heard from are struggling not just to grow, but to keep the operations they already have going, and it’s not just because the demand for labor is high. It’s because the level of work ethic is dangerously low.
Good economies don’t last forever, but lessons of hard work do. Be grateful, lay off the pot, and embrace a steady job. You can follow your dreams on the side, and when they do finally take flight, you’ll stay grounded in a work ethic that will get you through good times and bad.
