[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3568555, member: 63706"] There's that, but what I'm also getting at is that if you aren't going to make ends meet, why bother putting in the hours? You, and everyone with a good work ethic, are afraid of being considered lazy, a "bum", if you aren't doing everything you can. But not working under unlivable conditions is more of a protest than bumming out. That's what will effect change, refuse to participate. We [I]have[/I] unions, and organized labor, and how's being part of one working for you? Are you getting your dues worth? Trust me, you wouldn't be the only person not working out of protest. I'm not suggesting you really walk away, but I sure wouldn't judge you if you did. You can also simply scale back, work one part time job, and spend the rest of your time focusing on school. Apply for any assistance you can get. And if you really want a good job, go with aircraft mechanic. Do both airframe and powerplant. Manufacturers and airlines are snapping them up as soon as they finish school. And even if you didn't end up working on aircraft you will have learned almost every other trade in the process.
