What if your job is working for low wages that are so low that they can be subsidized by welfare. That would still be a job, right? One very large company who is one of the largest employers in the nation, & it's coming out that many others, actually tell their employees how to get government benefits, it's part of their training. So if you are part of this ever increasing working poor demographic, you would still have a job, yet get welfare.
A career is where you don't rely on government subsidizes, I would think.
