"Survival Jobs" Defined
A survival job is generally defined as a job that is not in line with your career aspirations. Such a job is deemed necessary for the meantime while searching for opportunities that are consistent with one’s field of work. These jobs, for the most part, pay minimum wage and could be either part-time or full-time work. Typically, these service-oriented jobs involve facing customers in fast-food restaurants and stores. Hiring requirements for survival jobs are minimal; benefits are fewer and often temporary.
