I will not work full time for low wages, but I will work part time for low wages.

Ok maybe I am a whiny millennial but the industry standard wage for the work I do does not incentivize me to want to work full time. I had a full time job many years ago and it felt like all I did was work, commute and sleep. I worked six days a week; however, at the time I was alright with it because the pay was double than what I make now. Anyway, I haven’t been able to find a decent enough paying job, so now I work only “semi full time.” I make a very low salary but it is an industry standard full time salary. I was willing to work like barely over the minimum wage jobs part time, but I don’t want to work full time for a slightly higher wage. Is this ridiculous reasoning?
