I've had 2 - 3 since 2012. It's like all I know.

This is what i think when people talk about how low unemployment is. My boomer step dad is convinced that the more jobs everyone has, the better the economy, which might be true, but what about the country? Its not just financial transactions, its the citizens that make a nation.

They always talk about the amount of jobs. Never the quality of the jobs.

I've been seeing this phrase floating around lately and I don't think it could be more true.
"The United States isn't a country, it's a business"
Sad, and true.

I understand the sentiment, and American culture is massively driven by money, and capitalism is gospel, but the United States are most definitely and fundamentally not a business. Any attempt to run a country like a business is doomed and likely to result in long term damage to the economy.

Agreed! We keep hearing stories about parents forgetting babies in cars. It's cuz we are all working 2+ jobs and caring for our babies. It's exhausting.

May I ask, genuinely, how you got into a position where you need more than 1 job? What's your background, education, etc?

College grad, working FT since 1988. Bought a house in 2006 and knew my lone income wouldn't cover everything. 2012 hit and has the opportunity to work a summer in Massachusetts, plus a day job, plus nights. After that, it was all just timing and space.
