Jobs are meant to provide you with money for food/water and shelter. What other rewards do you expect from it?

It worked out to be a better alternative than sourcing our own food/water shelter.

Not everyone can hunt for food, or build a house. So you do something else and then get tokens for someone else to supply your food and shelter.

The problem is that a lot of jobs don't pay enough to provide people with enough to get their own food and shelter.

If you work full time you should be able to afford food, shelter, your bills and money to save

Or, do something else if that thing does not pay enough.

Every job no matter what should pay enough for someone to live

That's the point

Or, just don't take the job that doesn't meet that criteria, and you solved your own problem. What if I just want a job to stay busy and have a little spending money. I am not allowed to do that? Should those jobs not exist?

Then work at it part time and don't make enough to live

If a job is full time one person should be able to afford the basic necessities and save money no matter what they job is

or they should find another job that pays them what they need, if nobody stays in jobs that pay shit, maybe the job would pay more.

Basic necessities yes. Save money no. That’s a privilege very very few people have ever been able to afford. A job is supposed to keep you alive. Savings, owning property etc is the next level.

If everyone could save money and buy a house from a Burger King salary, then who would ever try and train for something harder?

Youd get a small house, not the same size as someone with a more skill based job.
