I'll start by saying that i live in italy, and i don't know much about the economy in the USA. I know how bad thing in some places are, but, in general, is 12$ an hour a bad pay? It's far more than what the majority of people in italy do, and even just 10€/h would be a good deal in general here. I'm not an expert, i hope to not offend anyone and to not cause hate of any genre, i'm just curious to know how it works.
