There aren't opportunities for young people to get a start

It's either food service or retail. I'm not even joking. Doesn't matter if you go to college or not this is what you are stuck with because there arent opportunities for people my age. I'll be stuck working at this pizza place either til I die or I kill myself which ever comes first.

Even for receptionist jobs they want all this experience and I don't have what they are looking for. Even for the most basic ass jobs they want all this experience and knowledge of things I bet I can do but can't because nobody will give me a chance.

This is bull shit.

I guess it depends on where you look. I've taken a part time job in public transport to supplement my pension. It's a role that a lot of people would consider beneath them, but in almost five years I have seen many young people using the job as a stepping stone to better and brighter futures.
