How is that enough for a college kid??


Let's see, where I went to college, I could rent a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house for $900 a month...split that 3 ways, that's $300 a person, plus say like $100 for utilities and stuff. So that's $400...then let's say another $100 for food, $50 for gas, and that's still like $500 extra (after taxes) to spend on a car payment, more food/beer, misc....it's not hard, really.

But then you have other areas like NYC where you have to pay like 1600 for a 1 bedroom and you have to pay city, state and federal taxes so that 340 a week turns into like 220 a week.

I like how absolutely none of this discusses college related fees like tuition and books. The general idea when you take out loans isn't "all right straight up give me $150k to cover costs", you're supposed to minimize the amount you need because you will pay it back

Stick to something you know about, like sexualizing horses

You live in a cheap state. 900 will get you 1 bedroom around here in a decent ish neighborhood. 12-1400 around a city. 15-2000 in the cities that aren't ghetto.

In that case, I'd hope that NYC businesses would be forced to offer better wages to employees, or face a shortage in labor as people seek employment in a more feasible place to live.

well, they aren't

Uh yeah, sorry buddy, but I went to college for years and I paid my own way through it by working and taking out student loans. I know what I'm talking about.

Guys, minimum wage IS enough! You just have to borrow a lot of money!!

Yeah, surprise...college is really expensive. Imagine thinking somebody with little to no skills and/or experience (your typical college student) should be making enough money as a pizza delivery guy or sandwich artist at Subway to cover his tuition and books as well.

tuition should be free, and there should be a student salary. we should be encouraging students to go to school

I'm always amused by the idea that minimum wage jobs are only meant for high school and college kids. Because if only high school and college kids worked these jobs, fast food places, grocery stores, Walmart, etc would only be open from like four in the afternoon to ten at night.

That's also true. I had a similar setup my first year and rent alone was nearly $1500, and the place was a shithole

Yeah I need to know where this fantasy piece of real estate within reasonable distance of a college actually is. 900 will get you a nice room where I'm from, but not much more

This.

And you would expect someone who has been working at McDonald's for a few years is at least a shift lead or assistant store manager with a path and goal of becoming the actual manager one day.

It's about working your way up and gaining experience if you have no other way to market yourself. If you don't apply yourself it's really mostly your own fault you're 45 years old and not worth more than minimum wage
