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 heard her do an interview on her book, and as a result, am not interested in buying it. As I said in my original post, minimum wage jobs are entry level jobs. I had several of them in my young days. I wasn't married, didn't have kids, and was getting an education and some job skills at the same time. Minimum wage jobs aren't meant to be careers.

I am reading Star Parker's book, Uncle Sam's Plantation. She is the epitome of someone who has been to the bottom and gotten out....on her own but for God's help. Very good read. I would recommend it highly.
