The irony of this story, was just to hard to resist:

So Drew came up with a crazy plan to pay off the debt as soon as possible and that involved him taking on not just a second job, but a third–putting in an average of 70 to 80 hours a week.

“My friends joke, ‘How many jobs do you have now Drew?’ Also did—house sat for people, dog sat, gave plasma, sold stuff,” Drew said.

Stacey stocked retail shelves nights and weekends and there were no dinners out or other luxuries.

So, as you can see, if you want to live the American dream, you must eliminate fun and work like a dog, or at least sit a dog or sell some bodily fluids.

3 Thoughts on “Want to get ahead in Sioux Falls? Work multiple jobs.

    My opinion is that the wealthy take to much profit undercompensating the middle class. Working several jobs is no answer. Your income rises but you pay more taxes and you burn out sooner.

    FOX news gave a report today that unemployment hovers at 5 percent but most people took a pay cut or lost their jobs and now work another job for lower pay. The network had numbers proving at least 13 percent of the population has fallen off the stats because they’ve stopped looking for work.

    The wealthy have squeezed companies for profits. People work long hours when there should have been more hiring sooner.

    The demonstrations around the country are supposedly against police. In fact, there are a lot of unemployed looking for a reason to demonstrate. Civil strife is erupting that could lead into more violent clashes. I’m not wealthy but we’re I, I’d be concerned. When people are hungry, irate, and violent it’s dangerous everywhere. Your money can’t save you. There’s more guns than people and there’s potential for a major uprising.

    Sounds like it was their choice and good for them. The comments below the article indicated other success stories. More power to them and to each his own.
