Not necessarily. Sure, hypothetically there could be severance that could last a bit, but if the market is no longer available for people of his skill he has to go back to school. That could take years. In those years he has to make money. OBVIOUSLY, no one is "settling" with bagging. He would be trying to make his way back into a better paying job market.

We're allowing that person to stay alive and have the necessities: food, water, shelter, health. I don't know where everyone gets the idea that everyone will be given a very comfortable lifestyle without working. It's not like we're buying the bag boy a Porsche. That's not socialism.
