That may be true, but that's only if I get one of those jobs. Otherwise, I'll likely have to do a night job so I can get as many day and evening hours as possible at one of my part time jobs, so I'd be more isolated then.
I also assume that most people, even if their main social stimuli is work, that's not their only one (or one of their only ones). Presumably most people have one or two close friends and several they feel comfortable calling up to hang out every once in a while. I would think they'd at least have one or two they could hang out with, even if they weren't close. I'm not going to be close to people at work nor hang out with them so I'd still not be getting my needs met. I'd be fine at work (if I get a para job at a high school), but I'd become severely lonely as soon as I got home. I guess not being severely lonely part of the day is better than being lonely all the time. There's that I guess.
