Minimum wage is for teenagers and college students. You are not supposed to make a living off of them. What happened to ambition??? I got 80k straight out of uni and I didnt even have amazing grades. After 1 year my loans were paid off and I was a debt free man making bank. I am not special at all, anyone in North America can do this. Just don't pick a terrible major and somewhat apply yourself. Over 50% of employed people in the US make near minimum wage (for their region, not fed minimum wage). A huge portion of jobs pay either minimum wage, or within a few dollars of minimum wage, including many skilled jobs, and sadly until recently at least, teachers would often start at near min wage for the first 5 years as well (bachelors degree minimum), so it's not just high school dropouts that make it. And Im saying if you DONT want to make minimum wage, then do what I said in my post. You dont need to have your fate decided for you. Somebody has to work those jobs, there is competition for jobs that pay more, and it's a employers market (more people looking for them already then jobs available). In other words, the jobs are filled or being filled, and there is 42% of americans that can't get them, and must work jobs that pay near minimum wage. That is how it works in our country. If 20% of the remaining Americans suddenly got college degrees, no new jobs would just appear for them, it would just make more competition for the jobs already available, and more people over qualified working minimum wage jobs. Considering so many already have student loans WHILE working a miimum wage (or sub 15$ an hour) job, including 3 people I actually know lol.....and my aunt for awhile for that matter. If half of your jobs pay near minimum wage, then half of the workers are going to get paid that much, and it then becomes a wage that you need to live on, even as an adult without any other support. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!
