Yes, but not instantaneously. If you want responsible work you have to show yourself to be responsible and industrious. It's not beneath him to have to provide that evidence, pay his dues, and work his way up to what he wants. Nor does it have to take long at all, but he does have to start where he is.
It's an illusion that life owes anyone anything. To that extent, your concept of a dog-eat-dog world is correct. But you are certainly pessimistic about people, aren't you? I'm a pessimist / realist by nature, as well as an introvert and a loner. But I don't see it as me against the world. I see it as me finding my place in a world that has both good hearted and evil people. No, you don't indiscriminately trust everyone, and you don't completely trust many ... but there is love and light in the world if you're willing to give up the myth that you are so much better than all the other bozos.
And even the bozos have things to teach us. Wow, now that's humbling.
