Says the pizza delivery guy.....
No education, no skills and no experience should NOT equal a "liveable wage".
If you don't invest in yourself - you are a parasitic cunt to expect others to invest in you....
I do not have a degree in accounting but have worked my way up in the field of bookkeeping for years. Yes, many employers want to see that you have a degree but usually when they find out I was doing bookkeeping long ago on ledger cards and adding machines (they weren't calculators yet) they know that I know what a damn T account is and I actually know double entry bookkeeping and not just how to fill in the blank on a screen.
In high school I took a bookkeeping class and found out I have a knack for it so I just kept building on it.
Before we moved here the economy had tanked in SC. I worked through an agency at Michelin doing payroll...not making much so I worked as a cashier at a local grocery store, for minimum wage, a couple nights a week and one day on the weekend. Doing payroll for a few hundred people was less stressful than standing on my feet waiting on people for a few hours a week.
You do what you need to do to survive, but that shouldn't include killing yourself.
This is not a cut and dried thing. Most things aren't.
