By the logic of the OP, jobs held by people in her generation that have more than the next generation should be given up to this new working generation.
Unlike the OP, they are graduating out of college into no jobs
Unlike the OP they did not have a midlife change of venue, leave where they have "worked for 20years, come to a new place, buy a 3 acre farm in Puna AND a house in HIlo, and still complain that that they should HAVE MORE!
The generation now coming into the job market have the highest education debt, and the highest interest rate for that education.
Instead the OP wants someone who has been on island & working longer than her to give up their job just for her....
I bet she will have many reason why she would not give up her job, right now, for the next generation that needs the job she has, even though they have far less that she does...
Her complaints sound more like the complaints my mom got in the late forties & early fifties, when men were demanding that she give up her job so that a man could have it.... I really thought in my lifetime we were over this nonsense decades ago, but the OP put it in a way that makes it sound just like the old complaints of yore...
If women in the 40's & 50's had done what the OP now wants others to do....well... SHE would not have had 20 years of working....
So UKJulie, are you ready to give up your job today for a milennial who really needs those shifts to get their first job so they can keep from going further in debt?
Remember that you have far more (probably way more than five times) than most of the milennials... If you are not, then you are not true to the whole premise of this post.
