A job is a job. You do whatever the hell you need to support your family. When you get laid off and your unemployment runs out, you take whatever you can get. Unemployment rates are high. People take shitty jobs because a shitty job is better than no job and no unemployment benefits. Who are you to say they don't deserve to be able to support their family?
College isn't for everyone, either. Not everybody is an academic. Somebody needs to collect the garbage. Somebody needs to have the crappy retail jobs that support our consumer economy. Unfortunately, shit happens and good people get stuck in bad jobs. It's not our job to police who deserves to be able to support their family and who doesn't.
I'm completely behind this legislation.
