[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$15/hr PT is barely enough money for a teenager to cover extra curriculars and gas, let alone rent and food for a family.

They call it minimum wage for a reason. Who told you you should be able to afford rent and food for a family and non-public education on minimum wage?

Minimum wage is working poor/poverty level and it always has been.

Get some education get some skills.[/quote]

Why are fast food places & grocery stores open M-F, 8am-4pm then? Shouldn’t they be closed during those hours?[/quote]

Huh? Minimum wage is the lowest possible paying job. Why do you expect it to fund a desirable lifestyle? If you want to make more, get and education and skills and get a job like others do.[/quote]

You didn’t answer the question. Why are those places open during those hours (school hours)? Who should work those establishments during those hours?[/quote]

Are you dim witted? These jobs are only for people who can’t do better. No one under 18 should be working a minimum wage job instead of going to school except in the most dire of circumstances. Plenty of HS grads who do also are trying to advance themselves by going to school at night. And if you graduate from high school there are usually things you can do that make more. I don’t know why you are perseverating on minimum wage jobs. [/quote]
