What is the alternative? A couple of companies offering shits jobs with a take-it-or-leave it attitude or unemployment. Neither being a viable survival strategy. The only way to be independent would be to start a farm, but they can't because corporate farming undercuts them.

Getting educated in a skill set that is in demand, pay your dues at the bottom and work your way up

Or take the risk like other capitalists do and try to create a successful business

That may work for some, but as more try it they just keep raising the bar. The problem is a limited number of good jobs and there's no way around it. It's going to only get worse as automation increasingly takes a toll, too. E.g. self driving vehicles putting truckers and taxi drivers out of business.

Actually in several cases now emerging people were forced to take the job. a lot of seafood Industries especially with shrimp have been exposed as basically Shanghaiing TheirCrews and forcing them to serve on their boats. One such individual who managed to escape reported that if you refuse to do your work they would shoot you with throw you overboard. And if you tried to jump overboard and swim away they'd shoot you anyway. Has exposed in some Chinese factories and Minnie Indian factories many of the workers who are under aged are there by force from their parents basically forcing them take the job once there they end up and headed to the company and are stuck until death
