The normalization of poverty
Put simply, all that glitters isn’t gold. The reality is that the contemporary ubiquity of side hustles is just another sign of the normalization of poverty wages and our current shitty economy. While a side hustle might indeed shower untold wealth upon many, for others it’s just shiny new packaging on the solution to an old problem: stagnant wages in the face of inflation and the need for two or more jobs to make ends meet.
Like the tiny house craze, the romanticization of the side hustle is a way of normalizing wage stagnation. A family of four was not meant to cohabitate in thirty square feet of impractical, made-for-HGTV decorating during a Michigan winter. And given an affordable choice, I sincerely doubt they would. (Trust not the charlatans of Tiny House Hunters. Theirs is the snake oil of willful discomfort.)
Tiny houses likely started out as a practical solution to rapidly rising housing costs in major cities. But what used to be a way of surviving a tough economy became an Ethical Lifestyle Choice™, a trendy way to display to the world how minimalist and efficient you are.
Likewise, the side hustle. Or rather, as most Americans making minimum wage call it, the second job. It’s something the poor have done out of necessity for ages. But now we slap the fancy label of “side hustle” on the packaging and suddenly it’s a glamorous vocation!
Really what you’re saying with your side hustle is “I am not making enough money to meet my goals with one full time job so I need a second one.” Or even worse: “If I rest I’ll lose my home.”

I helped the housekeepers yesterday with rooms at my second job. I work at a hotel close to home as a front desk agent. Man these people are no joke, having to make 20 heavy beds a day is serious shit. My back is killing me today and you really can not do that crap with long nails. Bend one of my nails backwards almost ripping it off the nail bed a little and it still is hurting. Back at it again today and hoping it goes by smoothly with little to no asshole guests.

I've been writing coverletters and resume shit all day. Please send this to your friends who require a QA tester, Review Writer, or Social Media monkey for a work from home part-time gig. I am a hard worker with interests in Comics, books, and video games. I very much need a second job quick! Thank you.

Got a second job!
This was waiting for me when I got to work this morning at my new second job! Yes, I have two jobs now! My new job is with the nonprofit organization Mujer Emprende, that provides tools and education for women to gain economic independence, gain professional growth and boost their businesses. They’re not only giving me a chance to work but I’m also getting a chance to help other women succeed…
