I make $16 an hour as an apprentice electrician and a journeyman can easily make twice as much as I do or more. You add in overtime and they're pulling in $3k+ per week. With overtime I can live comfortably, but $16 an hour 40 hrs straight time is chump change, and I'm single with no kids. I don't understand how someone working a minimum wage job can support a family. How is it possible?

Sir Mat of Dickie posted:have multiple jobs, borrow at exorbitant interest rates when something unpredictable happens It makes me sick when I hear somebody say that minimum wage jobs were never meant to be a career. Not everyone has the privilege to choose their career, nor do they necessarily have the opportunity to advance their career. We weren't all born in a bubble. Why can't a person making minimum wage support their family? That should be the very definition of minimum wage.
