"Martinez, 30, actually works three jobs to support himself and his family. His Facebook shift goes from 1.15pm to 10.00pm, so he drives for Lyft in the mornings. On weekends, he picks up shifts as a park ranger. All that work affords him a three-room house that is home to four adults and four children: his wife, their two daughters, his mother-in-law, his wife’s sister, and her two children. The sister and her children sleep in the garage."

I think it really sucks that the contractors sound underpaid and dont have access to the benefits. I also wonder why more people dont just leave Silicon Valley for basically anywhere else in the US (assuming they can find a job there) and live a more reasonable lifestyle. If you have three jobs, you dont get to see your family at all, and that is not living. Life is too short.
