but anyone who has plans to marry, to have a family, to buy a home, to pay off massive college debt may have issues with these kinds of jobs..
Kids don't get sick only when Daddy/Mommy has a job, and mortgage payments need to be paid every month.
these jobs are not reliable, family-supporting jobs..they are not careers.
These jobs are the "handyman" jobs of our time.
the employee takes all the risks, and the employers get all the benefits of not having to have anything vested in their workforce.
As people age, these gigs often go away too, since older folks are not seen as "cutting edge/up-to-the-minute" employees.
These are throwaway people with throwaway jobs..
The Kleenex Workforce..
