So you should expect to start at the bottom pay level and be able to afford living in luxury? I fucked up my life by doing drugs for 17 years. When I got sober I started actually working for a living and started at 8$ an hour. Couldn't afford shit but a bedroom in someone's house. I worked hard and moved up. Now I make 29$ an hour at the same business. This took 8 years. Anyone that starts out shouldn't expect more than what they can afford. If you want more then earn it. It will NOT be GIVEN to you. Had I done this 20 years ago when I was 20 then I would be that much better off now. We all have to start at the bottom. Especially if you don't make the right choices early on in life. If that's a bad opinion then so be it. But it is the way the world works. Cry about it all you want. It's not changing anytime soon
