No single person, sure. But the inceasing lack of secure, reliable income sources remove most other choices.

"gig" work should not be the norm. It should (and always used to) be the job that the teenager does (delivering newspapers, etc) or someone does for a bit of extra cash.

But they're becoming pervasive, normalized and this should be rejected.
