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.

What is the alternative

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.
