I'll start. I worked for minimum wage when I had summer jobs between school years. It was pretty obvious that it wasn't a lot of money, so I made decisions about my future then. Like, go to college, get some education, get some job skills, and get better jobs. Don't have kids I can't afford to support. Minimum wage jobs are supposed to be entry level jobs, or so I thought.

Good book on subject is "Nickle & Dimed" by Barbara Ehrenreich, she did same thing. An eye opener for me. I got it on ebay.

I worked for minimum wage when I was in High School. Then I went in the USMC and worked for 1/4th of minimum wage. And got shot at for the privilege.
