I work 2 jobs and both know they are grossly underpaying me. 1 in IT and one in service industry. I used to make 1,200 a week just serving but since covid they moved to a way more shady tip pool and dangling getting our tips back. The IT job knew I was overqualified and still offered me well below what I need.
Over the years I've acquired some skills working for random jobs, one of them being locksmithing. So I can get into places ( i haven't! ) but given that with two jobs over 60 hours a week no groceries , cant pay for my meds, I barely leave my place cause I can't afford it. Crime might just pay.
Tldr: I shouldnt have to resort to crime to break even.
