He could always get a job
It's been touched a million times but just a reminder just how, by his own hands, bleak his job prospects are:
Phil has no useful skills and his work experience and degree are from 10+ years ago. He's a liability, because he's not physically fit to work. The guy also has an utterly awful track record with being a toxic person with his customers and the companies he works with
The jobs he thinks he deserves/is entitled to are ones that would pay him at a rate comparable to what he is making now to even consider it. and that's $50+/hour range that doctors and the like earn.
To put it lightly, he's not qualified for any job that's not entry level stuff.
But that's the whammy, the only jobs left that phil could get he says he's physically incapable of doing.. Retail, fast food, driving (delivery, transport, etc), labor, cleaning. Guy can't stand for long periods of time. Can't sit for long periods of time. Can't handle anything that's the least bit strenuous.
To say the least this guy is going to be:
-a poor worker
-gonna drag the morale of coworkers and company down by constantly whining
-not getting the work done by being lazy and incompetent so others will have to pick up his slack
-would not be surprised in the least if he feigned some tumble and tried to scam for workers compensation and/or disability so he can be paid to stay home again
He can't even fall back on getting a job in his industry. For a hardcore gamer, he doesn't KNOW anything or anyone. Any opinion he has is twice to three times regurgitated from the news sites and journalists he hates so much and the fans he doesn't respect. Has no skill or unique insight into any game he plays and the guy is straight up radioactive, no one in their right mind would work with him.
As Phil has said, "There is no plan b, there never was" He has to make this sinking ship work at all costs, no matter how hard he has to cry and beg for people to throw him money because this guy has no other options. I'll say this though, he's sitting pretty with his making a few hundred bucks a day but man is he walking the knifes edge. Getting kicked out of youtube, paypal, patreon, isn't impossible as shown with the loss of twitch. Simple google search of "banned from youtube/patreon/paypal" and you'll that it is actually really REALLY common and that it's happened to people who've done less than phil.
