Who honestly thinks a child day care job is college degree worthy? That's a horrible choice and shame on the college for allowing that.

Without training... NO... Without college training I do every day
I did the research for you...
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the median annual income of a U.S. worker is $32,140. Federal minimum wage is currently $5.85 an hour, or about $11,500 per year — just above the poverty line. Of the 76.5 million people paid by the hour in the United States in 2006, 2.2% make minimum wage or less. Here are some generalizations we can make about minimum wage workers:

I can go on the internet and show you that america is the wealthiest country in america and it has one of the worst health care in the world. What does that tell you? What about the record number of people that have 0% healthcare? Or how about the 9% unemployment in america. Which we all know is probably closer to 20%...

From the reading....
Data from the Department of Labor show that most minimum wage-earners are young, part-time workers and that relatively few live below the Poverty line.
Relatively few Americans earn the federal minimum wage.[1] In 2005, 1.9 million Americans reported earning $5.15 or less per hour.[2] This amounted to 2.5 percent of all workers earning hourly wages and 1.5 percent of all workers in the United States. But these numbers include workers who also earn tip income
Minimum wage workers under 25 are typically not their family's sole breadwinner. Rather, they live in middle-class households that do not rely on their earnings. For the most part, they have not finished their schooling and are working part-time jobs. These workers represent the largest group that would directly benefit from a higher minimum wage.
Here are a few important characteristics of the teenagers and young adults who earn the minimum wage or less:
Fully 67 percent work part-time jobs.
Their average family income is $64,000 per year.
Only 17 percent live at or below the Poverty line, while 65 percent enjoy family incomes over twice the Poverty line.[5]
They have less education than the population as a whole. Fully 36 percent have not completed high school, and 21 percent have only a high school degree. Another 37 percent have taken college courses but do not yet have a bachelor's degree; many of these are college students working part-time while in school.
Fully 65 percent are women.
Only 5 percent are married.
Do you want me to keep going... People that earnthe minimum wage are not the breadwinners.... their income is rarely relied upon...
