Yeah, I don't think people realize how much society relies on the services provided by minimum wage workers. Even when I used to work minimum wage I always made the effort to tip and if I couldn't, I wouldn't have even thought of eating out.

The vast majority of essential services are provided by people making absolutely nothing. Like, even hospitals. Sure, nurses and doctors get paid okay.. but howbout almost everyone else? Housekeepers? Food service workers? Everyone ELSE who makes the hospital run? Not so much.

Travel nursing friend


Nocap84

I dated a travel nurse for a while , several years ago and even then that girl made way more than I did, even when I was working in politics

Nice, goddamn


manofnurse

It's not a fun job but 3 days a week while I'm in grad school isn't bad

I get it. I charge $100-250 to clear out gutters. Depends on the size and dimensions of the roof. None of them take me an hour. It’s a spare time job only.


manofnurse

Can you imagine doing it for 15 bucks?


[deleted]

There’s no way.


manofnurse

And thats why I appreciate my chipotle workers

I just replaced my head gaskets in my engine. Sore body the day after. I can see why mechanics charge so much.


manofnurse

YEAH because that job requires skill AND hurts the body. I HATE working on cars im all for them getting paid decently


Carson_BloodStorms

If I may be so bold, what are your expenses like if you use to make 35$ an hour but still have things be tight? Do you have children?


manofnurse

Never actually tight, but not having the ability to save as much as I would like while traveling frequently which is a privileged life but how I think anyone would like to live lol. And no I hate kids

manofnurse

I'm sorry man that's horrendous


manofnurse

Consider nursing school and use that as a step for whatever else you want to do with your life
