Isn't that the whole point of jobs -- making a living? Your assertion makes no sense to me. I feel like I'm missing something.

Your assertion makes no sense to me. I feel like I'm missing something.
- mhb 4y agoYes. That's not the whole point of all jobs.
- stcroixx 4y agoNo. I’ve probably had 20+ jobs in my lifetime and only expected to make enough to live with maybe half of them . The idea that working fast food, which I’ve done and anyone with a pulse could do, should pay enough to pay all of an adults living expenses is preposterous and makes no economic sense at all.
- vsareto 4y agoThere are plenty of other jobs that anyone with a pulse could do and make more than fast food. But of course those jobs make total economic sense, right?
- stcroixx 4y agoNot sure what those jobs are - generally the less skill needed the lower the compensation. If there are some easy jobs like you say that pay better and employer and employee are both in agreement that’s great.

They don’t need to earn 20 bucks per hour, they don’t need to be able to afford mortgage, or even rent apartment by themselves (they can have roommates). No one would work such job their whole life anyway. It’s temporary almost by definition
