Antiwork

Minimum wage just jumped to $15/hour here; that’s $31,200/year if you work full-time (40hours/week). Professional wages still start around $50K/year.

People are taking on huge debts and are killing themselves for University degrees to make $20K more than a high school student. Yes; these careers have benefits and room for growth, but the starting pay has not increased significantly in 20 YEARS!!! Remember; “starting pay” is also when you have the most debt and the least stuff. Please note: basic houses in my neighborhood have gone up BY $1,000,000 in the last 20 years.
