Sandro Flores, 26, has a bachelor’s degree in microbiology, which he hoped would lead to a well paying career doing biological testing in a lab. But to reach that goal, he requires additional education beyond his degree. That would mean forgoing full-time work while undertaking months of additional training.
As he figures out what his next steps in life will be, he earns his living as a gig worker, driving for food delivery apps.
