Full Idea
Having options is not an unadulterated good. Options may make us vulnerable to unwanted pressure from others. For example, having the option to work for less than the minimum wage increases the chances of employers offering less.
Gist of Idea
Too many options may open us to unwanted pressures, like being paid very little
