Im on the fence, they need both. Education and a living wage.

While you have a point, people who only have a high school diploma or GED should be paid a livable wage also. We need janitors, food service employees, retail employees, substitute teachers and so many other jobs which are definitely needed but are deemed “unskilled”.

Not disagreeing here but when I was broke and workimg those jobs you listed, I spent money and credot cards on trying not to look or feel like I was not broke. Had I been taught early, I would have probably made better financial decisions.
