These worries seem very childish. For instance, for the guy who is not a stranger to the work world? Then he should be talking about how difficult it will be to compete, not that he is "scared" of getting a job. That sounds extremely childish, unless the only jobs he has had are of hard labor and hustling people to buy things: Both of which I've had. Otherwise, there are jobs out there that are not so bad. It's the recent economic down-turn that made all the really crappy jobs open up. Otherwise, it's not so bad stocking food and ringing people up on a register in a grocery store. It reminds me of how 2nd shift people complained about hard work, while we 3rd shifters of Sam's club were the backbone. I could have EASILY done a 2nd shift person's job, as I had an A.S. in science and could communicate well with people. Instead I had to constantly lift 20+ lb. objects about every 4 seconds. When it came to the pet area, 40+ lb objects every 4 seconds for about 30 minutes. But this was ~7 hour job. And there sure were times I was unethically asked to lift 100+ lb objects. Not too often, though. Not too much to be scared about if your job doesn't haze you +75% of the time. I can’t believe this kind of stuff. These worries seem very childish.
