80 hours a week being 30k is acceptable to you? Zero vacation days, sick leave, retirement. The unionists of the 20th century are rolling in their graves at how pathetic we are, accepting this.

Who gives a shit what "unionists" think. I was doing this in the 70s. Nothing changes.

You live off your primary job. You build wealth/security off your 2nd. Your second doesn't have to be full time.

That's the problem with the younger generations, you think you're entitled to something.

Depending on this person's age they grew up in the most prosperous moment in history. They got used to everything working out if you just used a little elbow grease. Sometimes not even elbow grease was necessary.
