When I volunteer at the local homeless shelter and talk to the "hobos", I get to know of their struggle. What you do say is somewhat accurate from what I see. To every single "hobo" I talk to when I volunteer at the shelter (Which is every single one there since my duties are to serve them dinner and take the dinner to them) twice a month, I always hear the same thing: Can't find a job, trying their hardest to find a job, and willing to do anything. Hell, they only go there for dinner and then I see some of them reading the newspaper that was purchased that day in the shelter looking at the Classifieds section. I've only seen a few people under 18 that are homeless, the ones that I have seen are pretty miserable, but are doing their best to find some form of employment.
