[quote=Anonymous]I find minimum wage far more reprehensible than the AP program, where the AP's housing, food, car, and cell are paid for. Take a person making $10/hour ($3 above min wage) or about $1300/month. They pay: $500 for a cheap crappy studio or room. $100/mo for utilities $200/mo for car insurance and gas (or more likely public transit), $100 for cell phone, $100+ for groceries $200/mo for mandatory health insurance A $10/hr worker has $100/month left after bills. An AP has her full stipend of $850/month to spend on discretionary items, including travel and entertainment. This is not a "reprehensible" gig, even at 40-45 hrs/week.[/quote]
