Sometimes I don't think people realize that sometimes there is not an easy way out of just going back to school etc. I knw/have known families where the parent or parents were working two jobs just to scrape by. They are making enough to make it, but if one were to quit the job to try to get a better education or even quit one of the two jobs, the family would go under and their children would be out on the streets. So maybe this dead end job is all thats keeping a family above drowning.

Dead end job is basically a job that has no future. It takes years to get a dollar raise etc.. I think it's defeatist to not want better for your family. All it takes is a little more effort. Go to work. Get a better education on the side. Maybe I believe too much in the American dream. My parents came here with nothing. They were illiterate even. They worked dead end jobs, raised me and my sister, went to school on the side. Everntually getting better jobs. People have a choice to work these jobs. They also have a choice to better themselves.
