Jobs That You Think Should Pay Better

[LoneKiller]

There's certainly enough to choose from. Post some that you can think of.



1. Those poor souls who bust their ass working at a fast food joint like Wendy's for example.

2. High school teachers.

3. Police

4. Farmers


Godspeed.

Mine.

lol, but seriously - MOST jobs here (US) don't pay what most people consider a "fair wage."

 

[Dissident]

Any job where you work 30+ hours a week should pay you enough to support yourself.

Nurses.

Nurses.

IT staff who support the nurses so they can save lives

Nurses.

Good one. They work their asses off.

Minimum wage here in BC is $10.25/hr.

I've seen Tim Hortons offering $16.00/hr in more remote locations

My philosophy has always been that if you don't like what you do or get paid find something else that suits your needs.

Cleaners

Sounds good, doesn't work in practice.

I'd dispute that, just requires patience

And for a real laugh....

"Prisoners can get paid between $5.25 and $6.90 a day if they follow their correctional plans. Each of Canada's approximately 13,000 federal inmates gets one of these road maps to rehabilitation, which can include work programs, training and conflict management sessions.
And those wages could be subject to union negotiation if a group of inmates in a British Columbia prison is successful in organizing Canada's first prison union, ConFederation Prisoners' Labour Union, Local 001.
"They haven't had an increase in their wages in 25 years," said Natalie Dunbar, the criminal lawyer representing the inmates, who can work as mechanics, furniture makers, laundry staff and even haz-mat technicians. "The guys generally make, before deductions, $35 to $40, every two weeks and that's for 12 hours a day, generally six days a week.""

My tax-dollars hard at work....
"It costs the government approximately $101,000 to keep one inmate in prison for a year".

Simple then, increase wages but start charging for rent, electricity, heating etc

This is why I should be your world leader and unite everyone in new era of peace and prosperity as my slaves, er, citizens.

You are correct, sir - +1 rep point for referencing Star Wars on the forum, a new crusade I have started

Not everywhere has enough jobs for everyone (one of the many, many downsides of supply-side economics), and even if you live in an area with a sufficient number of jobs, you may be quitting your job for no reason because you can't guarantee you'll end up with another. Getting into a position is not your call to make, you can only hope that the employer is persuaded into hiring you.

Well I'd assume you'd get some prisoners cycling away - hooked up to dynamos to give power to one 60w bulb every 100 metres or so.

Hmm, it is Canada, so heating wouldn't be required afterall based on the info you have kindly provided elsewhere.

I think Emperor would suffice.
