assignment 2.3

As for working in the real world I have come to realize that I need to find a job that pays more than minimum wage, because the lifestyle that I want to live. And the people that work on minimum wage are people that don’t have the ability to make more in that job. So I thin that this is something that I can relate to. Because in this last summer I worked in a restaurant at all the different types of jobs that they hade to offer and with the better jobs came more pay. I liked being a cook not only because of the pay but the responsibilities that came with it. But when I was a dishwasher I didn’t like it at all because the job was no fun. And I didn’t have anyone to talk to.             

            I can understand why jobs have to pay minimum wages because they need that extra money to function, and in the restaurant business get extra money to buy better food. So yes I can see where this is going but I don’t think that people can live off minimum wage, it is so hard to do especially when you are a single mother or a single father.  And you have to raise two kids while on this money? That is impossible no one can do that. So I can understand where both sides are coming from but I do think that people should have the opportunity to make more money for themselves. So if more people become educated, and work harder then I think that people will not have a problem with people getting paid minimum wage.

             I think tat if people work hard then they should get paid more, because of the work that they do. So that means if they decide to slack off then they should not get paid as much. It only makes sense people who work hard should get paid more, and the people that get paid less work less. I think that it is the right thing to do. Also people who work harder have more of a possibility of going farther in life.  My father once told me that the farther you go in life the more friends you will have and you will become a better person because of it. To tell you the truth I didn’t think he was right but after letting it sink in and after a few years have gone by I think that it is true, because if I surround myself with successful people and people who want to do good in life. Then it will make me want to push myself to become a better person and I will want to become a better person.

            So I think that minimum wage is needed in business but I don’t think that people can live off of it. And when people start to realize that they want to make more they should work harder and surround themselves with people who want to do better also. And after working a whole summer on minimum wage I don’t think that it is possible to even live on that and make a profit from it.  I think that I have followed what my dad told me to do unconsciously that I would surround myself with people that want to succeed and people that want to make a name for themselves.
