>I would argue that as long as you are working, you have a real job.

If you're working nights in a warehouse while you finish your degree that will get you into an industry with nearly six figure starting salaries then I would argue that you're not "working yet" you're just a student with income.



What does salary have to do if somethings a "real job"?

Or what about blue collar workers who aren't going to school, and are at that same warehouse? Are they not working at a real job?


Salary has nothing to do with it. Finishing one's education for the foreseeable future has everything to do with it.


I've thought about this for a while now, and for the purposes of this discussion I agree.

That being the case, I think that the study would be best off tracking those 18-30 who are living individually and are not attending school. Thoughts?


Yeah that would be ideal but that's much harder for the people doing the study than just picking an age.
