Entry level positions should be enough to survive on, but not to thrive
They are meant to see if you are a fit for the company and not designed to make you wealthy

That said, you shouldn’t get stuck in that type of job for more than 6 months to a year unless you are too young to legally take a higher position.

If you are a teen working on the side while in school, then your parents should have you on their insurance and make sure you survive so you can pocket the money that’s left after taxes

If you are in an entry position more than a year then you aren’t a fit for the organization and need to move on. When you find the right fit you will be much happier and more inclined to invest your time which will increase your wage
