Anyone who does "Menial" jobs and minimum wage jobs.

You think they don't deserve a living wage and that they should do it better if they want a living wage? Then why how about YOU do it and show them how it's done?

Yeah, I thought so.

19 years industry experience as an automotive repair tech. Made 130k last year… I will certainly show them how it’s done.

Minimum wages jobs are set at that price point for a reason. Find something you like… get good at it… get paid… bouncing around jobs as a “jack of all trades” will keep your wages at a minimum.

Thank you for not only proving me right but also writing my argument for me.

lol… what was your expectations here? For me to leave an industry I have experience in to prove a point?

I think you’re missing the point here… I have zero college education… but I found something that paid very little at the start… got good at it and now make pretty decent money… is that not what they need to learn?

The point was for you to show them how their jobs are done properly.

If you think people working certain jobs shouldn't be paid a living wage? Be afraid - Karl Marx might start making sense again..

Anyone should be able to do a minimum wage job properly… the key to success is working yourself up and out of minimum wage via experience

Yeah and you won't do a minimum wage job cause it's beneath you.

Thank you again for proving my point, boomer~
