(Except I was far too broke to sport a coat like that. Fried fries at McDonalds to get my motorcycle jacket, best I could do.)

As someone who has worked fast food and currently works retail, there is no shame in that. Sometimes you gotta go through hell to get what you want. 🤜

really the goal most people hope to achieve is to get the highest paying, most dignified job possible.
The hard part is QUALIFYING for whatever job that is and as we all know, soooooo much work & effort & years & schooling goes into qualifying for any decent job.
It’s often TOO much effort for most people in fact, which is why so many of us end up working low paying jobs, because we get to the point we simply need to survive so we’d rather have even just a little bit of money than none at all 😟
So we settle for these entry level low-paying jobs and so many people get stuck there.

Pretty much. I get it. I’m in the same boat. Currently looking for other work but I have sciatica and live in the middle of nowhere and most of the jobs around here are manual labor.
I can do manual labor and really have very little problem with it; I just have to watch myself to make sure I don’t overdo it, and most companies I imagine would have a problem with that because so many out there don’t care. They just want higher production numbers, higher speed, faster results, and don’t give a shit about the people who genuinely work hard but just are slower than the average person.
