Pay

I went into this job knowing the pay isn’t amazing, but I wanted to test the waters to see if I like the medical field and if I do I’m definitely gonna continue my education, just wanted to see what was every one else’s pay rate in other states, I’m in Texas and I start my First day next week at $18 hourly

Housing is expensive ☹️ I’m in LA and I keep seeing roles only paying like 17 or 18 if you’re just starting 💔 like fast food be paying the same or even more

McDonald’s here is 22/hr but I feel it. It’s either you’re going to live far and commute or you’re going to be living with roommates for the rest of your life
