Totally I think people feel that certain jobs are beneath them as well as government programs that give them money, so they feel like their are easier ways to get money, also if you've got a tierary degree you don't want to move to a different career path even if it means sitting at home, everyone is looking for the easy way out
I work an office/tech/knowledge job and I know the shit people can get away with and still get a salary its crazy how inefficient it is, the evolution of bullshit jobs has also created a generation of people who have no skills to begin with
