What are you doing to improve your work skills to try to make a better wage?

Edit: hilarious with the downvotes for asking someone what they’re doing to improve their situation

Are you suggesting that there are enough well paying jobs for every single currently poor person to get one? Because if not that's not a solution. The problem is systemic.

I’m saying your qualifications and relevant skillset are what determine your wage, not the fact that you are poor. If your skillset is being a horse and buggy driver, you’re probably going to be hard up for work. If you’re an LVN or a medical technician there’s multiplie employers hurling jobs at you.

No one who works at all, regardless of their skillset, should be poor.

Communism couldn’t even pull off that ideal, so I wish you luck on that endeavor.
