So last night me and some friends were hanging out having a discussion and the subject of working came up. My friend was telling me a story about being in Hooters and having a discussion with a young women working there who was also going to college. Now she was worried about finally having to get a REAL job at the end of her college years. She also noted that she didnt really want to work. She of course complains about not having enough money and that even though a second shift at her job there is often available that working a second shift would also be too much work. (Meanwhile the whole time she sat there just talking to my friend not really doing any physical work). This amazing set of statements correlated perfectly with a situation with a family member of my mine as well. That no matter how many job opportunities I have offered to this certain person that they repeatadly turn down. But they are continually out of work, looking for work and when I see them on facebook, always hangin with friends, drinking beers and just hanging out. This so boggles me and is beyond my comprehension, that perfectly able people just stay stuck where they are. It is almost as if it is their crutch per say…oh im broke, and i cant find a job, poor me syndrome – but i think that they prefer to stay there. Maybe to them life is just easier that way or it is simply a case of thats what they know and are comfortable with- and they dont want to change.
So is this just a trend among our country that no on really “wants” to work anymore??
