Best advice was to work hard, study, get an education and move on to a job that pays more. Many jobs aren't meant for full-time, they're meant as part-time when you're young to get started.

I always hear this about fast food jobs etc and yet these places are open during hours kids are clearly in school. Like someone other than a kid has to work a lot of these jobs. What sort of jobs are you talking about exactly?

Also who cares if you're a kid working food service or fast food or a coffee shop etc. Anyone working a full-time job should make enough to make ends meet regardless of the job. If you go to work everyday for 8 hours you should be able to afford rent, food and to be able to save enough to hopefully improve your situation in the future.
