I also know a few people that are out of work at least once a year or more, that refuse to take a job that is beneath them. One guy works as a mechanic's helper/machinist for half the year at most, makes barely enough to feed his family, then prefers to suck Unemployment Insurance rather than go pump gas or stock shelves.
As a counter example, I watched my dad many years ago..... he was working for the CBC in a well-paid job on a camera crew. Their union went on strike back in the 70's, and they walked the picket line for 5 months straight. I watched my dad take a job as a courier driver, work that job to it's fullest, and guess what?.... that's right, folks, he and his family survived without welfare, without going hungry, without asking the government to bilk the rich to give to the poor poor poor.
No crying please.

Well, I know many people that have been looking for work for quite some time. Yes, they even applied at McDonalds - no luck. Watched them try a whole bunch of different companies. They were considered too old, too young, overqualified, underqualified, etc. I'm talking about IT professionals with a university degree applying at McDonalds and Burger King here.
