You thoroughly enjoyed the movie I see XD

_{that description was hilarious}

If it's any consolation, I have terrible taste too.

_{that's probably not any consolation}

Places and whether or not you consider it "just" an interim job can make such a difference I think. Junior coaches (most of them volunteer) at our gym work just as hard as the senior ones partly because this is a job that they enjoy and want to do, and also because they have students that are relying on them to help them learn stuff.

Meanwhile hospitality is definitely seen by some as an "interim" job that they are only doing as a stepping stone onto bigger, better things and they can't be bothered "wasting" any more than the bare minimum about of effort on it (a fact which currently offends youngest greatly as that's the industry he's looking to get into).

Kids having trouble looking that far ahead to see where effort or lack thereof might get them or make them miss out in the future is somewhat developmentally appropriate (it should at least be developing and honing with increasing experience if they don't already at least somewhat have an idea), I don't know what to do with adults with that mindset.
