You are badly out of touch. People take the jobs they have to take to survive. The choice you imagine does not exist for most of humanity.

You make it sound like the job situation in the Netherlands is desperate. From what I can tell by searching, unemployment is only about 3%. Where's the desperation in that?

Uber drivers I've talked to didn't join because they were desperate -- they joined to have more freedom and control.
