[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think high school should do a better job of teaching finances to all, simple rules of demand and supply, manage your career while still being somewhat passionate about your job. I would recommend anyone working minimum wage jobs to look carefully and learn skills to more high paying jobs. It doesn't have to be college educated, but nanny, baby sitter, truck driver, trade school jobs (plumber, electrician etc ) pay a LOT more and there is definite shortage for those skills and certainly add much more value to the society than serving McDonalds.. but hell easier said than done, and I recognize that people may have different circumstances. I just wish all high schoolers were taught that money is important and minimum wage jobs won't cut it.. sure they are stop gap job, but not a career for most[/quote]

You think poor people don't know those things? Many of them are trapped in vicious cycles. What we learned during Covid is that with some time off and enhanced UI benefits people did upskill and got themselves out of their vicious cycles. And employers in low paying fields started shouting "no one wants to work". Nope, they just traded up.[/quote]

Teen pregnancy is not a "vicious cycle." Just...don't get pregnant. If you don't have access to reliable birth control, abstain. Its that simple. It really truly is. [/quote]

Who mentioned pregnancy besides you? ....
Also, who are stop gap jobs for? No one who wants to procreate correct? And yet when you do procreate it is incredibly difficult due to costs, sick leave, hours, etc. Someone who thinks this is also so simple as BC or abstain when it comes to poverty cant possibly be relied on to have these discussions in good faith.
