Thesis

GIG DREAM

Risky Venture

The research deconstructs the myths of entrepreneurship and meritocracy through the lens of precarity, arguing that the "recipe for success"—composed of geographical mobility, higher education, and entrepreneurship—has become a structural trap within the gig economy, a phenomenon strikingly exemplified by the experiences of migrant student-couriers in Budapest.
