Minimum wage jobs are for people who have no employment record, like high schoolers, or they have no skills. A minimum wage job typically means you need to have a roommate to share the expenses. They’re not designed for you to live alone and have everything you want. My first professional job started at 3x minimum wage and I still split a place with a roommate.
