Reply #32: I have to ask how that would be either common or possible

to be perfectly content at a job that does not provide enough income to meet you basic living needs.

But again, I have never seen a mcdonalds part time job listing that says they will provide for all your basic living needs. The job is LISTED as a part time job. That is the employers way of telling you it is not meant to be anything more than that.

Now if you are, for example, a major retailer and you are listing a FULL TIME department manager job for example, it would be only reasonable to expect that job to at least provide enough income to meet basic living needs.

As I was saying I think I should only have to work one full time job. Never did I say I should be able to work part time as a fry cook at mcdonalds and make good money. Those types of jobs RARELY if EVER provide 40 hours a week. I would be amazed if a fry cook at mcdonalds was getting anywhere near 40 hours regularly a week. (that is a big part of the reason in its self that it isn't a job that provides a living wage)
