I know the feeling 40hrs a week isnt enough to make money but at the same time everything is going up but the paycheck
To Live the American Dream, you have to be sleeping. If you are awake, it's the American Nightmare.
All that ks to kicking God out of the picture, because when God was in the picture like pre 1963 life was very good economically.
Really? I did just fine. Retired at age 56...owned homes, cars, traveled widely.
Never forget that the guy who made the quote you are trying to pass off as your own, was a multimillionaire.
All starts at the top with a greedy Congress. All millionaires with no experience at the bottom pushing Agenda 21/30. They are deliberately crashing the economy, keeping people poor, so they can enact this regime change and train people to accept their Universal Dole Wage, under the guise of a global emergency! E.g. "global warming", "cv" etc etc...reads like a book!
Disagree. I went to a public university, and came out just fine.
Btw, minimum wage jobs are not meant for adults.
@@williamhuang2167 I'm making close to 100k a Year, don't have University or College. Common sense and understanding basic things can go a long way in life!
How can someone get away with paying an employee $2 an hour? Thats a waste of anyones time.
That's low for Bangeldish
That is why they rely so heavily on tips.
They need a cap on housing. Raise min wage and housing keeps going up, it’s a trap.
Jasmine V That's the way it is. Minimum wage goes up with inflation, and inflation is rising much faster.
That’s not enforceable. Are you saying if I get a good offer from someone wanting to buy my house, I have to turn them down if it’s”too good” of an offer?
@@johnmartin4641 he’s saying there should be a limit to how much the house is priced. It’s a different story if someone is willing to go over that price due to completion or other reasons
It's $15.00 an hour here at McDonald's.
@@earlmorton6265 They have a sign out at McDonald's here in Sulphur, louisiana hiring at 10.00 per hour. It's bad.
School don't promise a thing.
Saving/ me "school *doesn't* promise a thing"
I think you should go to school, learn about grammar
School promises student loan for life.
To certaint degree, I agree with u. University is still the ticket in Indonesia, but soon it will become total commodity. There was a time when becoming undergraduate was a proud thing to have. Now it is a commodity. So, people continue to get master degree. It was fine back then until now. Master degree is slowly but sure becoming commodity, as well. That left PhD. I am a PhD holder, but I realise my PhD will become commodity in the next ten years as Indonesian government shifts scholarship recipient from master to PhD seeker. The thing that confuses me is what next after PhD becomes a commodity?
Exactly cause you more than likely will be in debt and struggle paying it off and not even get a job in that field of study so school is pointless unless for certain degrees.
@@timc5006 Hahahahaahha yes. I couldn't agree more with this.
I moved from NJ to Michigan 4 months ago sad I had to leave the state I was born and raised in as well as friends and family behind. However I needed to make a better living for myself. I get this lady 100%. I suffered so much in NJ during and after college.
I suffered alot in Manitoba Canada for so many years before moving to alberta where I make 17.50 plus 750/month cash in tips as a prep cook....
If your waiting for some good job to come to you, you’ll be waiting a LONG time. Great jobs are hard to come by, people tend to not to leave them. Unlike kitchen jobs and their sky high employee turnover rates.
-Slurmdaddy - i work in dietary food service in NY and i make $15
Good jobs are not hard to make. No one will pay you like you pay yourself and the best job is the one you make.
@@Scott-by9ks how much do you make running your drug cartel?
@@carlgharis7948 I've never sold drugs. I've sold a lot of stuff but never narcotics. I sold my lawn care company in 2016. It took several years to build a nice clientele but I was doing pretty well with it. I currently own a nice residential real estate portfolio that generates about 2/3 or my revenue. I'm looking for my next opportunity. I'm thinking about building a street cleaning business. I'm hoping to get contracts with the city, strip malls and large retailers like Walmart, Lowe's and Home Depot.
@@Scott-by9ks good for you NOT everybody can do that
Rent, food,insurance keeps going up. Everything is going up but our paychecks. It’s hard and I make more than minimum wage.

Minimum wage in Atlanta, Georgia is cheaper, $7.25 an hour. Who can live on that?
Minimum wage isn't meant to be lived on. Too many Americans are relying on minimum wage jobs which is bad. Wages do need to go up though because they have been stagnant for years.
I know how you feel 7.25 is literally only for high school students I'm currently looking for a new job because at 21 years old minimum wage will not help you accomplish the goals you set for yourself in your life that you want to get done
It higher in the north but it's just a number, $7.25 and the cost of living is half if what it cost to live in a place like NJ or NYC. That $15 an hr means nothing when rent is $1000 monthly in subsidized housing
I make 9.50 working at Chickfila and work monday- Friday. Pay is okay. If I get another job I will be good. I don't have any kids so I'm fine with Georgia pay. I have a lot work history.
@@jelicianorwood24 _I have a lot work history_
So. what does that mean if you're still making minimum? A long history of doing the same thing will not set you apart from others that DO THE SAME THING. Find out what really makes you tick and learn to get a certificate, or specialized training. Sooner or later that minimum, or several minimum jobs is going to get old.
EVERYONE deserves a decent livable wage. If you get up and go to work every day, ESPECIALLY if its a grueling thankless job like food or maid service, you damn well deserve decent pay. Workers like that run this country.
Pay is determined by market nothing more or less, supply of labour dictates wage.
@@toddpick8007 no its not. The employer dictates the wage.
No, “everyone” does not deserve a decent wage. People are responsible for where they work and their life choices.
Most people find a minimum wage job and keep it for year because they become comfortable.
@@elijahsabo3846 everyone deserves to be able to afford the basic necessities of life. Stopping licking Wall Street's boots.
@@danielhawthorn6639 I’m not paying for lazy people to live, I will help the ones in need but not the lazy.
Need education and time to get better income... Education cists money and money is time... The poor work for pennies all day every day, so they end up with neither time nor money... So they cant get education.... Until they become son opressed from years of depression poverty that they give up.... And then the rich blame them for being lazy and stupid
We don’t blame them for not having money to go to college, we blame their parents for that. And we mostly don’t blame people who can’t afford to put themselves through college, we blame people who did go to college and are still poor because they squandered their college education by majoring in something stupid that has no good job prospects (gender studies is an example) just because they find the subject interesting because it’s their “passion”, without any regard on whether the major will allow them to get a good job to provide for themselves and their future families.
@@johnmartin4641 Is that really the fault of children though? 18 and told all their lives they can do whatever they want, be whatever they want, then offered this seemingly mythical chance to major in something that to them seems wonderful, but is in reality vapid? Or do we blame the institutions, the society, and the caretakers that let them believe that lie? Children, (even old 18 year old children) who have been lied to all their lives cant be expected to understand that a STEM degree is worth the hardship, while their dreams are worth less than dirt. After all, that's what children do is dream. That's why we love them. So when everything that was meant to guide those children fails them, do we blame the children, or do we reassess ourselves and the society we have built to nurture them?
A living wage is the only way with full-time hours and benefits.
EXACTLY. And benefits should be irrelevant because these ( so called benefits) are REQUIRED by law every other country considered developed. Kind of like we have laws preventing rape carjacking and things as such
@@carlgharis7948 America the land of the free the home of the brave but a bureaucracy there will always be a struggle to obtain even what is mandated by law... Woodrow Wilson was one of the first presidents I heard speak about a living wage.
@@kimberlys.sanders4666 the U.S. is a 3rd world country. And if it wasn't apparent before covid 19 it should be now.
@@carlgharis7948 I wouldn't say all that but America and the world 🌍 as a whole will always have it's challenges. A medical crisis no one could predict that struck the world all at once causing a economic impact globally is hard for everyone to come to terms with. Some leadership handled it better than others simply because they didn't want their people or country to suffer.
@@kimberlys.sanders4666 the problem is all the problems that have been swept under the rug covid 19 has brought them to the surface. Or at least should have. Yet here we are trying to shove them under the rug as aposed to aknowlage them let alone fix them
I was making $8 bucks an hour when i was 15 years old. That was 22 years ago and that was the minimum wage back then!
In kansas the minimum wage was still at $5.15 22 years ago i was making $6.50
In florida they have the lowest pay in the states and the highest outragous rents
Where I live, just to get by, you would need to earn at least $28 dollars an hour to live. That means, two people working Full Time making $14 dollars an hour each, would be just enough to get by.
I would suggest moving if you think $28/hr is difficult to achieve.
Yeah specially if you have kids but not to long that $28 an hour not gonna be enough
People say that’s it’s only people with kids etc that shouldn’t be working at places like this but little do they know it’s mostly teenagers whose parents are making them pay their phone bills and car insurance which one whole paycheck covers only one of those bills and college students that are trying to save money while being in school so no it’s not always people made poor decisions in life it’s the fact everyone deserves to make a decent amount of money to live conformably and pay bills
Also retired people who can’t live only with the retirement paychecks
If you have a college degree and only make minimum wage, then yes, you did make poor decisions. I know several people who didn’t go to college that are multimillionaires. If they can do it without a degree, then there’s no reason why others can’t do it with a degree. I also have a friend who made around $600,000 just 2 years after graduating from college with a bachelors degree.
34 yrs ago i made 280 an hr at roy rodgers.the biggest paychecks i ever got were over a hundred hrs. For one hundred 4 bucks.i know how much ot and shifts that was.

I pay a minimum wage of 20 dollars an hour for my two businesses, lawn care, and delivering flyers. I live in a higher tax paying jurisdiction of Canada in a high tax province. I still more than enough money to live on and probably could even pay a slightly higher minimum. Mind you I don't know the profit margin for a restaurant which has a lot of overhead, more than lawn care and advertising for sure. An airport could certainly pay 20 dollars and hour.
I would have paid a 20 dollar minimum anyway but I had previously worked for a lawyer who paid in 20 an hour in the 2000's which I thought was really high at the time for a laborer, I had also worked for a moving company that also had a 20 an hour starting wage. Moving at the time had something like a 12 an hour start on average but I heard people getting the minimums of 10 an hour for smaller companies.
I feel sorry for American workers who have to live on 7 and 8 dollars an hour. You must be working just to pay rent and barely anything else never mind health insurance, clothing, transportation and food.
Thank you for your comment
American workers are paying 1/4 the taxes you are and less for housing, fuel, energy, clothes and groceries, $20/hour in Canada is $10/hour in the US not including exchange rate at any given time.
@@toddpick8007 Think your statement through. Draw it out on a piece of paper if you have to. Even with exchange was 15 and change. Today I pay 25 as a minimum so its 19 and change. If they pay less in tax then they have more money skippy and if they pay less for goods and services then they really have more than us Canadian counterparts. You never really thought that one through did you.
0:57 that is sad. 40 hours in the 21st century and can't even afford the dignity being able to afford a place to stay.
2:13 an hour? WTF?
They make way more than that. That’s just what the employer has to pay as long as $2.13 + tips equals or exceeds the minimum wage of $8+. If $2.13 + tips does not equal or exceed the minimum wage, then the employer has to make up the difference.
Absurd. Sounds like slavery to me. Or at least like it would be possible in some less developed countries. What point is there to have a minimum wage If the employer doesnt have to apply it?
When I was a teen and young adult I would travel to where the work was. In spring and summer it was the potatoe and beet fields. Or bucking hay. Today kids don't want work to come to them.
She's 360 no scoping. Her call of duty pants lol
I was a low wage worker. It was fun at first but not worth it after awhile
It's not worth it, regardless.
Good point, starts off fun but then the issues start piling up perhaps.
How can we live on minimum WAGES Everything r very high Rents Groceries Really its very hard for Us
You're not supposed to live on minimum wage. Go to school and get a degree with a nice job market, learn a trade, or start a business if you want to make more money. Don't rely on a mcdonalds paycheck.
Kenny aka TI how many peoples have Canadian degree but they dont have good jobs I m working gas station with me many young person r working who have Canadian degrees but no jobs
What is your degree in?
Kenny aka Ti. Just a college. But i get my all education in Pakistan. Later i got immegration. So i move canada
SohaiL Rehman I recommend getting a job in health care.
I make $10 a hr....the struggle is real
BenTheBoss Yeah I make $50 per hour the struggle is real.
I make 18 an hour and everything is still too expensive
You need a career change.
You don't "need to get your hair done" regularly. Shampoo, condition, and hair oil. The rest is excess.
I can attest to this.
Food, car costs, utilities, health care, and debts to pay.
It's easier, when you have good people with you. But some of us don't.
Weird story.
The problem is most of these low paying jobs are short term or in-between jobs. These are not careers.
Women's have to provide for all women's jobs and the kids and friends 🧡
Economy is so messed up. Shit is ridiculous. Some people make 20 grand in one month and these companies expect people to survive off 20,000 in a whole year.
Then become one of those people who make 20 grand a month. Provide a service that everyone wants.
@@colddeadhand7414 , i agree with you, its all just a game of demand and supply .
@@colddeadhand7414 What service would that be, I can guarantee having food on your table is more important than any service that pays 20 k , now try to move your brain to figure out how food gets to your table.
@@-PureRogue Apparently you failed to grasp what I said. You do realize that anyone can start their own business and be their own boss, right? There is no gun to anyone's head forcing them to work at a shitty fast food restaurant. Sell a product that everyone wants, provide a service that people pay for. Most millionaires in this country are 1st generation meaning they didn't inherit it, it was earned and built. People go from rags to riches in this country every day. Be one of them.
@@colddeadhand7414 You are living in lalal land , everyone can't start their own business, it is not so simple to start one and it takes lot of investment , ofc depending on what you want to build.
Even if everyone would be their own boss it would fix nothing, I feel like losing brain cells even to try to explain impact on market and insecurity in your income that it would imply.
Im sorry.these amazing min wage workers pay taxes for this country and have nothing.i worked min wage for yrs and trust me.hardest work with no pay.
wtf does usa have a minimum wage? where i live the minimum wage is $12.6

We are already struggling n they want to inflate prices again????
you have to have some kind of unique skill that pays well or you have to get proper education and get a better job. minimum wage life has no future. it doesn't matter you make $7.5 and hour or $15 or even $20 an hour. your life will still be miserable unless you are happy with eating 3 meals a day, have no car and living in low rent craphole apartment. if you are single and in early 20's, you can own a car and live ok life with $25-30 an hour wage but when you get married and have kids, you have to be making at least $50+ an hour to live just ok life. ok life means own a very small house(under 300k home), budget car(under 30k) and afford no brand clothing and have 3 meals a day. if you have kids and have to pay for their tuition too, then good luck.. you have to be making at least $80+ an hour for low middle class life. I am late 30's and making $50 an hour and single. as long as I don't buy expensive brand clothing and fancy car, I can live comfortable life but if I get married and have kids? damn.. I will be short on money every day unless my future wife can make some as well. :( i do not even want to imagine what my life would be if i was making like $10-15 an hour. :(
To some people making $10& $15 dollars an hour is better then nothing
Damn, can she apply for something else in the airport?
Apply? Yes. Will they give her the job?
It’s so sad just to watch this. In our country our people get payed weekly every week sometime you get payed fortnight or some works it monthly but that’s only for supervisors or manager but our wages are pretty good started rates are $15 but there going up this year in April to $20.20 for all workings
Hope you are doing well Nancy.
When Alberta legislated a increase to minimum wage it hurt more workers than it helped.
Restaurants like McDonald's brought in auto serve kiosks.
People workin 40 hr weeks found their hours drastically reduced.
So not only job losses or reduced hours meaning their take home pay was lower, they also had to pay more as companies had to raise prices because their labor costs went up.
In a nutshell increasing minimum wage meant earning less and paying increased cost of living.
It was an epic failure.
The rich need to know the middle class works n works while they took all the wealth n the American Dream because they don't need to work hard like hard- working people who struggle everyday.
You never worked for a poor person, rich people arent taking anything, wealth is not finite and wealth is not a metric of actual liquidity.
$2.00 an hour?!?!?!?!
If the Republicans can have their wish.
Yea, that’s below minimum wage
Unfortunately this program didn't go into too many details about her employer, but she's considered a "tipped" worker and gets paid $2.13 per hour by her employer. Theoretically, she's supposed to make up for that in tips so that she at least makes minimum wage, but not everyone tips.
It's because they're supposed to get tips to make up for it. But then there are so many jerks who look down on restaurant servers and other tipped employees, and won't tip them because they think they don't deserve it, or "they chose to take a job that only pays $2 an hour. It's not my responsibility to pay them."
so now the customer is supposed to pay her salary instead of her employer?
Greed is bad for everyone, especially the greedy. Why do we do this?
I'll just buy a RV
Start a business and provide a service , run an ad put up bulletins use your head , the value of the dollar is 8 cents .. An ounce of silver is 17 $. Which is an actual real dollar.. Run a group of maids , help people move , haul stuff for people .. My customers need everything ... And will pay cash ..? Never work by the hour... 🇺🇸🚚😎... 800$ days are possible if you think and do a good job?..
15 dollars an hour? I was making that much in Seattle, but that was hardly enough then, with 30 hours a week! Now, 20 years later, they want to increase it to 15? No one says why a CEO makes millions with a huge severance pay, etc. Many of these companies may be losing money or come out even at the end of the year. We have a class system that caters to the rich. The system in a way has millions of worker ants. The soldier ants keep the status quo for the rich, and in our country, queens milk the rest. This is our Democracy in action. I have not seen Mr. Biden to go to the skid row in L.A. to see for himself how millions across the US live! I guess he is cozy in the White House. I liked the guy! And for the two of the richest men in the world, I have one suggestion: Don't send us to fly in space for a couple of minutes for thousands of dollars. Instead, cater to the needs of our homeless population. A country that forsakes her own population is bound to fail and collapse sooner or later!
You could take wallmarts CEO's entire wage give it to the employees and it wouldnt amount to a 40 cent increase on their weekly pay.
All employers need to be paying up to date living wages that will be above the cost of living so people can actually live. If the employers cannot pay up to date wages for people to live instead of paying low slavery wages then people will be able to live. The cost of living should not continue to go up above working wages then no one is going to be able to live at all. The cost of living should always be lower than the working wages then that will be how to settle the living financial issues. Just like the rents being high well if the pay isn't going up then the rents should not be high to where no one can live. It's so stupid that the cost of living is higher than working wages. The correct way to this is the wages should always be higher than the cost of living. Stop raising rents since no one can afford to rent.
That’s why you’re not successful if you don’t have a high paying job, because you can’t move out if you don’t have a high paying jobs.
Man I just left McDonald’s and they put the cheese on TOP of the bun, y’all can keep your 8 dollars mf
YOU GET PAID FOR VALUE NOT NEED -- (if you want to be paid for need, move to the Soviet Union, if you want to be paid for value, improve yourself)
Not true. It's considered "unfair" to pay one employee more because he or she works better or harder. According to the new policies since the liberals took over. It's considered discrimination. There are no raises either as that is also considered unfair. Yet it's okay if these same employees who cry unfair don't feel like working go home early.
People who work fast food work a lot harder than office jobs paying double that, and I value McDonald’s workers more than paper pushers if I’m being honest.
It is extremely unacceptable for any employer to be paying low wages to begin with. I wouldn't be letting any employer to take advantage of me like that for low poor paying wages. I would be complaining to my hr department and even the corporate office. If the employer cannot pay living wages then the owner is better off doing the job themselves. I don't let any employer push me around and work me to death. I show the employers I am not going to be slave driven. I expect to be able to live and afford to have a roof over my head off of my income alone. I let low paying employers know about themselves of how much of a cheapskate they are as an employer.
The world has now reached maximum people.too many people now.
Empire in decline always have this problem. Citizens working but not being paid commensurate to the value they produce. Why? Because there are so many freeloaders parasitically latching on to the system. The US have more than 1 million lawyers to feed, to clothe, to house, to SUV'ed, to lapdanced to, etc. That's just one useless profession. There's still the gambling table dealers, lobbyists, tax accountants, med reps, athletes stock speculators, bankers etc, etc. And don't forget the bureaucrats. These people are having it easy but gets all the perks of society. If you work minimum wage, you are at the bottom of the food chain. You are a slave in the system.
Virginia minimum wage is only $7.25
Why not look for better paying jobs
If your stuck in a rut it's time to leave the starter jobs and get a factory job
Edward Chaffin What factory? They all closed and are turned into pricey condos.
@Edward Chaffin, i can tell you are either a child, or rich. There are hardly no manufacturing jobs, and to leave a job you must have money saved up at least 2 months so you wont fail behind.
Amazon pays 2x minimum wage for starting warehouse positions.
A lot of factory jobs are temp to hire jobs. If you don't learn the job within a few days you're fired. They don't even view you as a human being or train you enough.
Ok am I the only one who see this as a tax grab up the wage which will give you a bit more in your pocket but if you are like me working 70-80 hours a week you are just going to end up paying way more tax at the end of the increase if they really care about the people making minimum wage give tax breaks to the people working hard trying to make a good life and then the lazy 20 year old living in his moms basement playing video games won’t be benefiting from being lazy
There are massive labour shortages in skilled trades, carpenters, welders, electricians, plumbers etc these jobs pay twice+ what minimum wage does and companies are so desperate for labour that they will train you for free. Go out get a trade job why would you work in a fast food place when a fucking sign holder on a road crew makes $10/hour more.

I have a college degree and I have never made more than 18 an hour. That’s with a job that uses my degree. Not much of a money maker. People refuse to pay good wages nowadays.
I don't agree with raising min wage but there should be programs that teach financial literacy and employment skills to adults because it would benefit everyone in the country.
that wont fix anything
Looking at the comments and the numbers still look weak today.
Fist off, she chooses this life style. $2.50 a hour she choose to work there. All she needs to do is wake up and get a job else we’re. Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Mc Donald’s is even better then that. She could be making $15 a hour every hour. And make $25,000 a year or $2,000 a month.
Maybe true, but stil so cheap
EVERY SINGLE TIME ITS THE HOUSING COSTS THATS THE PROBLEM!!!!!
Our dollar is becoming worthless. Raising the minimum wage will only drain its worth quicker.

Low income worker shouldn't have kids! Stop having kids when you can't take care of yourself!
She doesnt have any kids
Many low wage workers don't even have kids. But they still don't make enough money to even afford basic necessities and living expenses just for themselves.
@@CherryFrog321 In 2018 there were 34 million Americans in poverty of them 11.9 million of them were children. Though you are correct that there are many people who don't have children living with them who are in poverty. The rate of children living in poverty is higher than any other age group measured by the Census Bureau at 1 in 6 children.
My point is that children create financial obligations that low income worker can't afford. When you add child care, health care, housing, transportation, educational needs, food and other living expenses that are legally the obligation of parents, why are there SO MANY CHILDREN IN POVERTY!!!??? My only answer: poor choices given their circumstances.
Who does the price index rich people you need to let poor people do that
wow
Tough at the bottom
The day a person begins to become an adult is the day they leave their parents home ( permanently ) .
Well...I still live with my parents at 40 and I will stay with them forever to take care of them. Why pay anohter house or nurse for take care of them? Of course we are lucky since it's like we got 2 apartments
Humm let me understand this wage hike thing. You are in hi school and want some personal things so you go to work at McDonald's. McDonald's is not a place for you to make a living. Food cost money so if they pay highrer wages they will have to charge more for the food they sell and then people will stop or limit there visits to McDonald's. So now you have people who don't have an education to get a good job so they have to take a lower paying job so they figure that they get together and demand more money. So what happened to her husband after they had 2 or 3 kids and they guy leaves and doesn't support the kids so they woman has to go to work and then they also get welfare and food stamps and a place to stay for free. And none of this takes into account the illegals who are moving into our country to get the free stuff too.
It's funny how low paying jobs like mcdonald's make u do more work than easier jobd
You get less for murder.......😥

It's your own dang fault to put yourself in that situation
If you have a college degree and you’re working for minimum wage, then you made some incredibly stupid choices. I know several people that are multimillionaires that didn’t even go to college. I also have a friend who made over $600,000 2 years after he graduated from college. Cry me a damn river.
Idk what this said. :)
come to 3rd world, our wages is not Petro Dollar.
I thought it said, LOW LIFE WORKER.... same
Well Low, Life, and Worker were three of the words in the title.
Bernie2020! Nuff said.
TheMaoLance yeah I bet you also want Free college too! fuck outta here
Bub Zilla and the person who says white people cant be poor
Our troops deserve 15$ an hour not people who didn’t go to College and get a degree
They get paid well so I'm not sure what you trying prove hun. Everybody deserves to get paid well not just people who went college. People in college stay in debt and want judge fast food workers.
Not everyone deserves to get paid well.
I was enlisted in the Us Navy for 4 years, COS. Did you serve? When you say troops... do you just mean combat veterans? You get paid based on job and rank and years of service. Some make well over $15 an hour. Plus full benefits, free housing if wanted, cheap rent if you live on base, no taxes on purchases, free meals as much as you can eat everyday. Discounts on clothing. You go into the Navy you spend 70% of the time on a ship, so nothing to even spend your money on until you port. You will come home in 4 years with $50k in your bank account and $30k GI Bill. If you reenlist you will get another bonus and raise. Not sure what you really mean by that comment.
Your comment is stupid! 15$ isnt that good, and whatever the government pays soldiers and what private companies pays is irrelevant.
$15 an hour isn't even that much. In states/cities with a high cost of living, you'd actually still probably be homeless and struggling making that. In more normal places, that's still just about the minimum amount you need to make just to be able to afford basic living expenses. No one is expecting to get rich making $15. They just want to be able to afford to eat and put a roof over their head. So yeah, even "minimum skill" workers without college degrees should at least make enough to do that. And those in the military definitely deserve MORE than $15 (and I imagine most of them probably already make more than that).
This is the Marxist lifestyle. She is living the dream.
Get a loan and go to college. Minimum wage jobs are for high school kids
