Occupational Slumming
Doing a job so low it's like you're admitting you're a failure, just to avoid the real job and the possibility you might actually be one.
I have a PhD and I’m washing dishes because my real job was too much.
I went from a corporate office to a McDonald's because I couldn’t take it anymore.
I’m slumming so I don’t have to face my real life and my real failures.
