This is naive. People get the best job they can get, which is rarely the one they want. I was always forced to work more than 40 hours and I hated it but never had a choice when I was younger. I had employers erode all sorts of my rights and I couldn't say a word, because I couldn't find any other work.

What is naive is to believe the elimination of those jobs is going to provide you with a new and better one.
