I have read the writing Serving in Florida. By Barbra Ehrenreich. It is about a journalist that goes to work as a waitress for a investigation. In the first few weeks she figures she needs to take a second job. This is when she finds out that life is to hard, and two highly stressful jobs is to much for her. She walks out on the job and resumes her normal journaling career.
To me this piece is not true enough to really use it as a reliable source of information. Yes, the author has taken on one minimum wage job. Then she realizes that finances are not adding up and takes another job. As time goes on stress, body aches, and money get the best of her. She quits her jobs and back to her real life she goes. She does not stick with the job and try to get in the grove of things.
I like the way Barbara has wrote this to help young adults, or it could be anyone. The value of furthering their education is very important. Yes you might go to school and get a degree in whatever, but things don't go according to plan as far as a good job. If you keep trying you will be successful.
