like there is jobs everywhere and everyone is hiring…

Absolutely. And you can pay for a bachelor's degree working a minimum wage job in the summers and you can buy a house and support a wife and kids with an entry-level job.

Or, wait, was that 80 years ago?

I saw avocado toast on a menu for $17 the other day! Wtf! Who pays that?!

I just was at a hotel and the horrible 'Continental' breakfast with powdered eggs was 40 fucking dollars. It was included with my stay, but the food was too disgusting to eat. I don't know why you would pay for it.

I think hotels like that are just banking on enough business travelers coming through who can expense any food to their company.

I was about to correct you, but no, it really has been 80 years. Time is cruel.

I mean, it wasn't that long ago the the Simpsons represented the bottom of the middle class--a high-school educated father with a stable job (with dental plan) and a house, two cars, two kids, and a SAH wife.

Just a few years earlier Billy Joel was positively bitching "who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?" Like, yeah, that sounds pretty good relative to paying 60% of your income in rent, Anthony.

If you're having trouble finding a job, have you tried just going into the company directly and asking? I'm sure they'd take one look at you and immediately see what an intelligent and capable person you are and hire you right away. /s

I think you replied to the wrong comment, but yeah, this advice just keeps getting worse every decade.
