Manufacturing is not much better. I worked in a lot of mfg companies during college. Starting pay with either at or a little above minimum wage.
There is no easy fix. Companies don't stay in business by paying people more than they are "worth" in economic terms.
Capitalism is the worst economic system, except for every other one.
- pragmatic 18y agoIt surprised me at how many college grads were working in a mfg plant (on the floor, not in management, engineering, etc). However, a lot had history, poli sci, or econ degrees. It was a short term job that turned into a long term one because of kids, marriage, etc.
