Real Job

“Get a Real job!”

They say

“A Respectable job”

They say

“Stable Job”

They say

Now that’s the biggest joke I ever heard!

Really! What is a “real job” exactly?

They say it’s something you should get after you finish high school,

They say it’s something that is easy to get,

They also say it’s more respectable.

Like a teacher, an accountant, or a postal worker, 

Sometimes, you don’t get respect from a “respectable job”

Your parents always give advice, but not on how to get the job,

In the 21st century!

The Digital Age?!

It’s not the same old job application and interview process.

Especially not since back in the so-called…

“Good old days,”

“Back in my day,”

It seems like they want you to have that job, rather than YOU are wanting that job for yourself.

No matter the interview, the same question is always asked:

“Why do YOU want to work here?”

Can’t really think of a good answer or lie, other than. . .

“IT’S BECAUSE I’M BROKE DAMMIT!”

You feel utterly worthless when can’t even get a job at a fast food joint,

Or, a regular 9-to-5.

So, the definition of a “real job,” is something that is not what it seems to be anymore.
