That’s why I collect assistance without shame. And I’ll continue to do so whenever I need to, until an actual living wage is legislated and applied across the board.
go to a trade college. 1 to 2 years of school. Pharm tech’s get hired over $40,000. There’s your living wage.
Hey, dude, school's work.
No thanks.
Evidently, a lot of people don’t seem to get the fact that not everybody can get a highly skilled well paid job, society needs people working the unskilled and semi skilled jobs too. Why shouldn’t they be able to earn enough to raise a family without government assistance? Don’t forget that it is YOUR TAXES that are going to subsidise corporations to pay chickenfeed wages that are supplemented by government assistance.
There are a limited amount of pharm tech jobs. Not everyone who is trained to do something can do that something.
At the same time, reasonably smart people can figure their way out in the world, can figure out how to better themselves, move to places where jobs are, and have a successful life. There are plenty others that just aren’t smart enough, or those who have illnesses or injuries that they didn’t expect that took away their ability to earn a living wage, or people stuck where they don’t have the money to move to a place with better jobs, and a lack of employment out there. Children happen and taking care of them can limit your options. Sometimes you have to take care of an ailing parent or other family member. Not everyone gets a successful life and good education. Many people do get shit on by randomness that can come out of nowhere. Not everyone gets to be an astronaut, some people have to mop the floors.
