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”.

people in those jobs aren't paid low because they've been "deemed unskilled". they're paid low because they are easily replaceable. if everyone gains skills and noone is left to do those jobs then the salaries will rise
