Remember ME

Next time you start to make fun of or judge people who work for minimum wage...before you call them lazy, stupid, uneducated, or any number of derogatory adjectives...remember ME...because I work for minimum wage at my third job, you know the one I do on the weekends because teaching and my Masters' degree don't pay me enough to make ends meet...yeah minimum wage...just like all my co-workers there...several of whom have master's degrees, too, and others with bachelor's degrees, some are nurses, photographers, pastry chefs, moms, and so much more, quite a few of them are also college students (you know future doctors, lawyers, nurses, and so on)...so before you judge people who work for minimum wage and say they deserve to make poverty wages...remember ME.
