HA! Yeah minimum wage isn't earning you NEARLY enough to afford that

2019-09-22 21:09:36 UTC  

Even in your state I guarantee

2019-09-22 21:09:37 UTC  

Right. Abolish minimum wage, let free markets do their thing. Prices go down

2019-09-22 21:09:43 UTC  

$15 min wage here

2019-09-22 21:09:55 UTC  

$15/hour still isn't enough

2019-09-22 21:09:55 UTC  

I have paid all my bills this period and I have $.03 in my account. I had to chose between keeping my car on the road or eating.

2019-09-22 21:10:12 UTC  

I'm literally living on instant potatos for the next 2 weeks and praying I don't run out.

2019-09-22 21:10:14 UTC  

Thats why I'll complete my course (even if the degree become worthless when I get to US) and try to learn another language

2019-09-22 21:10:16 UTC  

You'd have to work like 60+ a week, probably 80 to afford 3300 a month

2019-09-22 21:10:17 UTC  

@Foxhound oof, been there before

2019-09-22 21:10:20 UTC  

What do yall think?

2019-09-22 21:10:20 UTC  

3300 is also worst case. Lowest I've seen is 1600 without roommates

2019-09-22 21:10:24 UTC  

Any tips?

2019-09-22 21:10:42 UTC  

what degree are you going for Catfish?

2019-09-22 21:10:45 UTC  

Minimum wage here is 11.40 an hour and that isn't enough to afford an apartment, let alone anything extra to "Better yourself."

2019-09-22 21:10:55 UTC  

Minimum wage jobs aren’t supposed to be something you live off of

2019-09-22 21:10:59 UTC  

@Sir Harndes do it. Peiple will be impressed either way. Besides, drgrees are just paper

2019-09-22 21:11:07 UTC  

It’s to give you experience to get a better job

2019-09-22 21:11:12 UTC  

^ or to get a promotion

2019-09-22 21:11:16 UTC  

@The Leaf incorrect

2019-09-22 21:11:21 UTC

@CatLoverKid technician on mechatronics

2019-09-22 21:11:27 UTC  

DEF go for it

2019-09-22 21:11:32 UTC  

seen people make entry 150k for that

2019-09-22 21:11:45 UTC  

And also, just to be clear, for all y'all who say abolish minimum wage? If you need proof that corporations and businesses would happily pay their workers $3.25/hour to maximize their profits if the minimum wage was ever dealt away with, I advise you to head down to your nearest diner, and ask a waitress or waiter how much they make per hour

2019-09-22 21:11:47 UTC  

It is supposed to be avlr to live off of, at a bere minimum level. Being a cashier used to allow you a house and family

2019-09-22 21:12:04 UTC

2019-09-22 21:12:16 UTC  

Yo

2019-09-22 21:12:30 UTC  

And when companies liquidate you because it's cheaper to hire new people than to give raises to veterans? When internal power struggles kill your chances of promotions?

2019-09-22 21:12:31 UTC  

You know why inflation is a thing?

2019-09-22 21:12:47 UTC  

Because of the economic debt system

2019-09-22 21:12:50 UTC  

Because people sell they're shit for more than its worth

2019-09-22 21:12:56 UTC  

Revenue is based on debt

2019-09-22 21:13:06 UTC  

Another reason to abolish the FED

2019-09-22 21:13:09 UTC  

@AKAlexei no one would work thos ejobs if that was the case. The only reason tipping became popular in the US was because of the depression, as a way of owners to not pay employees as much out of pocket

2019-09-22 21:13:15 UTC  

Ain't just the fed

2019-09-22 21:13:17 UTC  

But yes

2019-09-22 21:13:28 UTC  

@thedarkness05 HAHAHAHA ask a waitress

2019-09-22 21:13:38 UTC  

Tell her what you just said and watch her laugh at you

2019-09-22 21:13:57 UTC  

he's right though???

2019-09-22 21:13:58 UTC
