We all had to do that in our formative years.
This is not the first recession in history you know, if you graduated around 1990, times were hard too.

Why bother working when they can get nothing at the end? All their money goes on rent or student debts. No chance of a getting deposit on a house. Retire at 85 when inflation will probably have eroded all you saved.Comment
