Here's an eye opener:


That doesn't include the freebies.

temperance:
You can try to make money on YT together with the guy who calls everything this little guy who complains about Dave getting better free stuff to review. If you and him would setup a rant channel you could be millionaires because it seems some people like people who rant.

The interesting part is that some people who like those rants write in the comments things like: you are so smart I don't understand anything of what you're saying but I still keep watching...

wtf is a "homeless people job" and how do you even define that as a sensible statistic?

Getting the wrong job can be a real pain.

After doing a year getting my city and guilds in industrial electronics I joined a local business as a test engineer.

I quickly learned how the equipment worked and after a little while was finding I could fix them as well.
I was the promoted to work in R&D.
The boss's father came in one day and put me back on testing.
I wasnt very happy.
Later I was put back in R&D.
A new engineer joined and I was again put back on testing.
So I left.
The next day I got the companies accountant knocking on the door.
He said they hadnt realised I was a Z80 assembler program and they needed a new project engineer.
They had thought the new engineer was going to do it but found out he couldnt.
I went back for double pay.

I gave it 3 months and could see they werent getting many sales so  I left to work for another local business.
3 months later the previous company went bust.
I guess what goes around comes around.

It's a person who has a job, but cannot afford a mortgage or rent.

Typical job might be a cleaner or grocery shelf stacker, but they're living out of their car, and going to the gym to use the shower.
