Say you think working retail is a career without saying so.
If you don't get more earning potential over time you don't have a career, you have a job.
fuck off selfish shitbag
all full-time jobs should provide a living wage with benefits
stop supporting corporate subsidies
Complete nonsense response.
You seem unable to distinguish between how you think things should be and how they actually are. This is probably why you have a job and not a career.
YOU will never earn more money, other people are capable of making better decisions. Navigating the world like 'well if things were just this would make sense' is fundamentally incredibly stupid.
no dipshit I know how things ‘are’
it’s fucking disgusting and so are people like you supporting it
as to the personal attacks lmao you know nothing about me but because I’m not a selfish asswad I must be poor? lolol
people like you are a cancer to a better society
I'm not supporting the way things are, where did I say that. A system can be unjust and you can also make bad decisions inside of it. These are separate things.
A store clerk should be able to afford buying a house. But they can't in many places, so idk maybe don't aim for that as your 10 year career plan if you want to buy a house.
Insane of you to complain about 'personal attacks'.
so brain washed you can’t even feel the boot, you just accept being this selfish as normal
Genuinely, explain how I'm being selfish. I have no idea what you're talking about.
'maybe live in reality and make decisions on reality instead of a fantasy of a just world' is my entire stance. Your stance seems to be 'making more money later in your career is impossible[I don't have a career with any room for growth and am projecting this as normal for most people]'
