About to take a nap before going to a Zumba class. Several class mates have masters, but are still working at least 2 jobs. One's husband and her with 3 jobs are: barily scraping by and still trying to keep a Zumba club glued together. Someone needs to say it: screw minumum wage these days. That's nuts! 3 jobs, and can scrapiing by. I think he on top of working in Human Services also has a part time job in IT. I have no idea where at though. If she's at class today I might ask. I argue that it's a combination of issues Education clearly gets people only sofar. I've said to many times I suspect: How the hell are you to get the inane experience companies or goverment want without having it that's the litteral defination of a catch22.I say their is a fundimental issue when even with masters degrees it's all to common issue: I want to lead but etc.
If I understand right the teacher that I help now her and her SO have. Masters are also scraping by. I think she works both at a gallery and does social media stuff. He makes ocean maps for tecloo's at the momen, he also tused to study climate changes and something to do with ocean levels. . even with two 45-50k a year earners "Dude are you kidding me I can't afford rent here! it's insane! 3k a month to live in the ghetto? " what I'm getting at Is I agree with nick something has to change, IMO a part of that something is a reality check to the powers that be. FWIW nick a ton of data backs up this issue. Litterally no one can afford to live on 40k a year. Being able to be in a position of leadership if someone wants it,sadly takes a back seat if your Maslow's are fucked. I am agreeing with nick btw: being stuck in service because of a ton of job pipeline issues aka sheer arogance and greed is a problem..
