DailyMail.com. "I lost my job last November. I'm having an incredibly hard time finding [a new] one. I burned through my savings [and] cashed out my 401(k).

I've got two months left in the bank to pay my mortgage. I can't get a job because people don't take me seriously. I was a VP in software for five years, so it's not like I don't have a track record of experience or success."The blame, Nick says, falls on the show and the reality TV industry."You are filming 18 to 20 hours a day, and that doesn't necessarily mean that you're always going to be on TV," he said. "You're miked up from the moment you get there in the morning, and you're miked up all the way until you leave.

Then when you go home at the end of the day, you're locked in your hotel room without a key, without your wallet, without money, without identification."You literally are held captive like a prisoner and there is absolutely no reason that you shouldn't be considered an employee when you're technically under the control of your employer for 24 hours a day," he argued.
