> is the answer to go back to school
Without money ? My girlfriend was a cashier. Now she's studying law because my job can provide for us and we have free healtcare in belgium. Otherwise it would be impossible !
> apply to more jobs
That basically mean more slavery since she will apply for job that pay like McDonalds. It wont solve any problem.
> and/or go into a trade
I don't understand what your mean here.

- TurkishPoptart 7y ago"Going into a trade" here means to start a training/apprenticeship program to be a carpenter, plumber, electrician, welder, etc. Probably not a viable option for the woman ITA.

He thinks poor people could be electricians helpers tomorrow instead of mcds cashiers if they only applied themselves.
