It’s not like their $15/hr job is ever going to afford them a house if they just grind it out for the next 20 years. They can use that time for self discovery, learning new things, and maybe getting a more stable situation for the future. They have every right to demand to be treated with respect on the job and to quit if it’s shitty.
They have the privilege of a US passport and an exchange rate in their favor, might as well use it over the short term. Who knows what the world will even be like environmentally when they’re older and have spent their life doing the “proper thing”.
I'll need you to understand that basically no young person assumes they'll manage to survive the next 30, let alone 60 years.
In my case, I don’t even consider non remote jobs anymore (I have been remote since before COVID). Last time, I moved for a job - wasting a few thousand dollars on lease fee, relocation expenses etc. I am a little less stupid now
There’s a big range of possibilities that live between “never work again” and “I can’t have even a small gap in my resume lest my dedication to capitalism come into question”.
I know it isn't the right thread etiquette (and I always get downvoted), Internet blogging/commenting is just a stream of thoughts
If you are in your 20s, you think you rule the world (Thanks to validation from Social Media). But those 20 year olds will become 30y and they will be the 'boomers'
The cycle will turn, employment will become harder and 'great resignation' may come back to bite them.
I'm not saying that this might happen. But to categorically say that "This is the way" is incredibly short-sighted
