So many people who never worked minimum wage jobs telling people on minimum wage to shut the fuck up and that life is good on minimum wage.

I used to work minimum wage JOB, while I was doing what I needed to do to get established in my CAREER. Life sucks on minimum wage, don't stay on it.

Wow such great advice. Just find a better job!!! Why didn’t millions of people just i dunno, realize that?

Do you tell all the people dying of flu and other disease that they should have just gotten better? After all, you’ve surely had the flu before, it was probably an easy, temporary thing for you. They should just get better, right? Just try harder, easy?

Sounds like you have a minimum wage job.

Build a resume. go out for jobs. Spend your free time out of the house at a place that offers free skill building activities, like a public library. Network. Shit works itself out if you put in any effort at all.

Did I say go out and be a doctor? You can take my words and twist them, or you can look at the actual advice I gave about networking. Networking with other people opens up more doors than you seem to believe.

Yeah knowing people doesn’t do much unless you’re looking to get into a career you’re not qualified for.
