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.
While you don't have the education - you apparently have skills and experience - which to many employers are the more important of the three.
Employers don't pay people because they are great people who love everyone. Nor is it out of some idealistic notion. Employers pay employees because the employee can provide something the employer needs.
If your job is to hand a customer a muffin and swipe a credit card - don't expect to raise a family and buy a house with your 5 bucks an hour.
It is insane to expect otherwise.
