Some people prefer to be jobless than to take on low-paying jobs

I don't have a regular job, but we do have a family business and i have certain job here since my mom is busy with other things in her organization. sometimes i feel sad that i am part of that category but i earn online so am not entirely jobless.

I'd rather take low paying jobs than be jobless. I think as long as the job is legal and decent why not. I have a two bachelors degree but I do cleaning jobs. It's practical and I need cash. Why should I be picky.

Actually I always do not understand that. When I was still working, there were colleagues told me they were jobless for 8 months or 1 year, I always wonder why they did not get a part time job while looking for a permanent job. Whenever I quit my job, I always thought I could go and be a sales promoter, something different from my career but I would surely learn something different from my profession which could be useful as well.

it happens here also. then those same people complain about the refugees and illegals filling those jobs so needed for everyone to do.

I was working for small amounts doing difficult landscaping jobs for a while during the bad economic crunch. My mother essentially called it 'slave labor' because it was for so little. And as little as it was, people still complained that it was too high. Those people were cretins. As it was I barely got by most months.

My first job is in an under constructing place, i worked there for 2 years, i work there in different positions and kind of jobs, i worked 2 different jobs at one time. I work with taiwanese 8 hrs, sometime extra work, and extra work in a mobile internet company, which i am a consultant, mostly speak in English, and Chinese to those who are chinese, taiwanese, japanese, and few austria, german. That's a big company with firm sys. I go around all day in my first jobs. (work until 9 PM and if days without work i stayed up to 2 AM, just for reading those knowledge around the webs, chatting and practicing english, just prepare for another job, thats why) 2014, I quit the job, and travel to city, the capital with only a backpack and a few college degrees, and paper stuff, 2 set of clothes,and an old motorbike. This time i applied in different jobs, get a few interviews, and phone calls, then i got a job in a marketing department of a small tech start up (yeah) So: - I do work as blue collar - I do work as office And I realize: - Office is not mine type - I am heading over a new type: teaching English, oh yeah, my main major in college. P/s: I failed college once, I went back with the highest score in my class, I slept at almost every class yeah, I was in the last corner of classes everytime. I never told my parents about how I quit college, and I went to the internet, I learn English, and the real teachers come to me. God blessed me, everything I do. and I throw my degree away after joining the workforce. My friends are waiting for graduation ceremony, dress up and stuff, while when i go and get the degree, my boss called me: "Hey, whatsup, when will u be back!" "hell, no, he should let me to have moments to enjoy. I went to this city, and I travel every weekend to the high mountains by motorcyle, broke down everytime, and i enjoyed driving it down the slope. OMG. I even didnt know wth I was doing.

People should be grateful for whatever kind of work they can get! A job is a job, it's there to be able to help us survive and pay bills. Nothing is beneath anyone, we are all people.

It is the same here in the USA and, probably, all over the world. It is youth's attitude.

That is unfortunate to have that attitude. I worked in many different jobs; all are worthwhile and many can lead to something better.

I think there is too big a push for everyone to have high paying jobs. Not everyone is cut out for those and not everyone wants those. A simple job along with a simple lifestyle is quite possibly more rewarding than the stress of a high paying job and lifestyle.

Personally, any job where you earn a legal and legitimate paycheck is a good job.

Yeah this is a common mentally of people in my country. Our education rate is high but there is no available job for everyone. People end doing minimum wage jobs because there are no better choice. some decide to leave the country and work over abroad (like me) . And for some who got used to high paying job then all of a sudden a company closes, it would be hard for them to adjust to a low paying job.

Probably because people think that white-collar jobs are better than blue-collar jobs but in reality, almost all jobs are just as important to our lives
