What I'm saying is for young people the opportunities for gig are relatively the same compared to 1991, except its in the different form.
Not to mention the opportunities to aquire skill or to learn almost anything for free from the internet.
You've explicitly named lotteries and acted as if they're the same as actual gig employment. I have several instagram influencer friends, and a few who make youtube videos on the side. It's their dream to go pro. You want to know their collective income, from a pool of about 10 people, who have been working at this for over a year? It's under $100. That's not a gig, that's a lottery that costs time and energy.
If you want to talk gigs, talk about Wag or Uber. Which, are also definitely not the same gigs that the article was talking about.
I didn't say everyone can do it.
I'm talking about opportunities, which also the article was talking about. The opportunities are equivalent but may not be the same gig.
You have the opportunity if you work hard enough. Isn't it incredible ; )
But not everyone can do it.
Wait -- if not everyone can do it, then is it really an opportunity? Or only for "those who can"?
I didn't say that.
Rather to find opportunity that suitable for you.
opportunity are there for everyone but a one particular gig may not be for everyone. Some suitable for being youtuber, some suitable for instagram model, some suitable to be game streamer, etc. These gig doesn't exist back in 1990, old people today shouldn't compare it the gig back in 1990, the economy are always evolving.
