Last year, I was 14 and working a job so I’d be able to go out and be able to do things, have spending money etc. I started working at a brunch restaurant as a dishwasher working on the weekends. Well as I live in Texas and the minimum wage is $7.25 here I went ahead and only asked for $9 hourly only to realize how $9 an hour is actually nothing at all. I was working nine hour shifts twice a week to get at most 300 per month. Honestly wages are so low it’s unreasonable
