Here's exactly what I mean - hardly anyone makes minimum wage.
That's 1% of the work force making at or below the
Federal minimum wage. Which is still at $7.25, and is
abysmal. And yet people are still living paycheck-to-paycheck. What's more, 55.7% of workers making at or below minimum wage are
above 25. But that's not really what I asked, so let's inch on and see if we get there.
Oh, and they tend to be very young, which means that by that virtue alone, they are inexperienced, aka "unskilled." And since they are so very young (under 25), they are also much less likely to be even trying to support themselves, let alone a family.
There we are. They're kids, so
of course they're unskilled. They're kids, so they're not supporting anyone.
Never mind that as noted above 55.7% of people making at or less than minimum wage are older than 25. People also start families well before 25, and with all these restrictions on reproductive rights that's looking to be a
lot lower. But I digress.
You call them "unskilled" purely on virtue of their assumed age. Are you able to do their jobs if you were to just be plopped right in there? Are you able to maintain composure and professionalism when being screamed at by some rabid Karen? "Anyone can flip a burger" but can you manage thirty of them all at once, each with customizations, while also keeping an eye on everything else? These are rhetorical, by the way.
No but one thing they need to do is move if the average rent for a studio apartment is right at $1700 a month.
That's the national average. And still yet,
moving is not always feasible. Do you have any idea how expensive moving can be these days? Much less moving to get set up in a new apartment? That's not a rhetorical question, I'm genuinely curious if you have the slightest idea.
We've got Uber and buses (and bus tickets or passes) and all that stuff too.
Likewise do you have
any clue how expensive Uber is?
My advice to people who feel trapped in a bad job:
Grow up.
Ditch the excuses.
Plan.
Execute plan.
Celebrate.
I don't often oath by different faiths, but
Jesus Christ that is atrocious, patently blind advice. That's some [REDACTED] I'd expect from Andrew Tate. Thank you, Revolting, I will bless every day that I don't work for you.
