    In the US it’s almost possible for 1 person to fully support themselves working 2 entry-level jobs at 40hours a week each, at least in places with lower costs of living. People act like doing full time college while working a full time job is normal and if you can’t make it work you’re a loser. A good portion of people get “really good” jobs where it’s possible to sustain yourself on 1 salary but it’s almost harder to get those jobs than it is to win the lottery and even harder to KEEP them. Many of them end up being a 70+hour a week gig anyway and once the bosses start demanding even more from you it’s all over. I have 2 degrees even. Corporations have destroyed our society.
