I am so sick of people that think it's ok to work 3 jobs.

I'll leave out the specifics, but basically I have a friend that thinks it's ok for her to work 2 jobs to put herself through school and take care of her kid. She thinks that instead using public assistance people should work three jobs. She (and several on her FB page) doesn't see the big picture. No one should have to work 3 jobs! No one should have to work 2 jobs, go into debt because of student loans to create a better life for their kid. Businesses should pay living wages and instead of raising tuition costs why don't we cut the football coaches salary from 2mil to 1mil? Oh and she thinks that everyone can just go back to school and learn a "trade" so that they don't have to work 3 jobs. Again- back to the student loan and tuition...
I just don't understand this mentality. When are people going to wake up and realize they're getting screwed?!

1. If she thinks it's OK to work 3 jobs

then why can't she work 3 jobs?

3. Great idea to work 3 jobs. Somehow I think her child is losing out.

And now, a special message from DU about the importance of a good education:

7. No its [missing apostrophe] not ok [it's an abbreviation] at [ends sentence in preposition, missing punctuation, bad structure]  however [not capitalized] when it comes to Public assistance [capitalize both or neither] since the so called Welfare reform [punctuation]

in [capitalize] 1996 [missing comma] many states including [including who?] have made it incredibly difficult for recipients of any [remove "any"] public assistance to go to school, [wrong punctuation] in my state you must also work at least one job in order to go to school without being 'sanction' [wrong verb tense] a procees which gradually cuts your cash and food stamp assistance over a period of 3 to 6 months,[space]preferring instead that women find minimum wage jobs and stick with it[missing semi-colon] that's the 'ticket' [punctuation, goddamit!]

now [capitalize, missing comma] I do not know how old your friend is but this has been in place for 16 years now and somew [typo] people seem to think its [missing apostrophe] the norm [did this sentence end?] add to that the stigma for some of being on any form of public assistant and well the die is cast so to speak [PUNCTUATION! and "die is cast" is the wrong idiom]

a [capitalize] question though [missing comma] how [missing comma] if you friend is working 2 jobs and going to school [missing comma] who's raising her kid?

10... I'm speaking to those that think it's better to kill yourself working rather than use public assistance. 

I really do think I'd rather kill myself working than use public assistance.

12. Oh she's not doing anything wrong.

She's a wicked smart, go -getter type of person. But what if she didn't have to work two jobs? What if her special ed job actually paid enough to allow her one job and her tuition was such that she could manage with that one job? It is so ingrained in society today- the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" crap -that we just don't fight the staus quo anyomre...

I wish it were a little more ingrained, I mean a lot more.

That's a perfect example of why they're the dependent class. I know they think that way but it's still stunning to see it in black and white. Not one of them ever considers the confidence & strength we get from doing things ourselves. Sad.

That happens because Government is their god.  They can't envision anyone getting anywhere without their god's help, so if Government isn't in the equation as the deity, they can't compute.

While I went to college to get my BSME I moved furniture and drafted at an engineering company. During the school year I averaged 25-30 hours a week and in summer or vacations I averaged 50+ hours. Between what I had saved in high school working part time, those jobs, and living on the super cheap I had no student loans. I had a job ready at that same company and within three years was a project engineer. Of course, I didn't get to go on all the trips that other students did or go to all the concerts they did. In general I sacrificed for the future and it paid off too.  I bought my first house 3 years after leaving college and was way ahead of my peers. THEN I started going on vacos and living a bit larger than my contemporaries could.

In my senior year we rented a house from this couple that were doing all the work on their rental. The husband gave me some great advice. He said "When you get out of school, live like you are still in school and life will open up to you."  He was absolutely correct.

I have had points in my life where I have worked three jobs at one time. For years I would only have one day off a month. It did not bother me so much since I was younger and enjoyed what I was doing for the most part. It looks like I am about to start that cycle again.

Stupid primative has no doubt never attended a university/college.
Course schedules are seldom geared toward normal work hours.
Students are, by need, required to seek employment that fits their particular study schedule.
Suffice it to say,  :-) two or three different part-time employers, is pretty much the norm.
Those are the students that grow, and make something of themselves.

If they knew the kind of shit I had to do to get that first $30/hr job, they'd never leave their mother's basements.  And I left the $30/hr barrier behind over a decade ago.

It's called SACRIFICE, DUmmies.  In over 30 years in the workforce, I've been on unemployment for a whopping two WEEKS.  Think about it.

I really do think I'd rather kill myself working than use public assistance.  

I wish it were a little more ingrained, I mean a lot more.  

Back when me and "Toots" were first married, she had a miscarriage, it was winter time and Ya just don't work construction in the winter.

We went down to apply for "assistance"! Yeah right! They made me feel like the worst human being on earth and wanted to know everything from my mother's name to the dog's! Made me feel like I couldn't take care of my family!

Well on the way out, I threw all that bitch's papers into her waste basket, and went and loaded frozen foods into box cars for $8/day and "Toots" tended bar! Even though it was hell for her to stand on her feet all day!

Ya couldn't get me to cross the threshold of a welfare office if it meant savin' my life!
