It started with a Reddit thread. User Wominfullbinders1 opened a Pandora’s box of discussions that can make young Brooklynites foam at the mouth, depending on how many happy hour drinks are involved.
“Am I wrong to think many college-educated millennials living in Bushwick are under-employed?” the Reddit post read. “My barista told me today she has a master’s degree. Am I correct in thinking that many living in Bushwick are under-employed? Is this by choice or because the economy is broken?”
The thread struck a chord with more than a handful of Redditors who are, were, or know someone living in Bushwick with at least one college degree, making a living on incomes from jobs they wouldn’t necessarily write home about.
