I remember watching a video not long ago about this girl in South Korea who went to uni, couldn’t find a job in her area. Then started doing web development and also had to work in a convenience store and could barely survive.
I know there’s a lot of people who never wanted to have kids to begin with and that pop decline is a worldwide phenomenon right now. However, even if someone wanted to have kids, how the heck can you do it if you can barely survive even with 2 jobs?
Thats quitter talk, how are you going to have your labor extracted by the Chaebol and make society proud if you don’t live up to your parents expeecations they heaped on you since you existed?
