Last time la.. now days you see.

Yep, more and more people are dropping out.

The unfortunate case is many who chose to drop out of school/college/university the few years when the pandemic drove the demands up are all now unable to compete in the workforce because they lack the experience and the qualifications to move on to better things.

So they are the ones stuck doing this as the 4-6k is still considered better than what they might get. But it comes as a cost as they don't get any advancement in skills and knowledge, no medical, no insurance, hours are becoming worse to maintain same revenue, and profits are lower due to the lower pricing and the need to maintain their vehicles.

Those that bought new ones are mostly now coming to major service periods and it's costing a lot.
