I think the answer is a resounding yes.
When you are young, being dumped on is a new thing, you are
supported by your folks, and the money isn't probably that great.
More so, you have no family to support.
As we get older, not only do we get more accustomed to putting
up with crap, but we progressively take on more responsibility.
Even if we are single, we have a rent or mortgage payment.
groceries, car payments, and insurance all add up.
Suddenly, we can't say "I QUIT" with the same relish as an
under-25 angry young chick or guy that still has that looseness
of life that lets them get away with it.
Suddenly, the 23-year-old sullen barista at Starbucks is 35,
with a family, a job she must keep to support the family, and,
if a single mother, must keep for her family to stay out of the
Salvation army thrift store and the shelter.
Suddenly, the 22-year-old "dude" at Jiffy Lube who quit in a huff
has three kids, and has to eat major s h i t from his union steward.
