Why do jobs openings with low pay exist?

I personally think that all jobs should provide you enough to survive and take care of yourself. Low pay jobs should not be options anymore. I think it’s equivalent to slavery. I think only other alternative is to lower cost of living.

What do you guys think?

Because there are people desperate enough to work them. Unless we collectively decide these wages are intolerable and stop accepting them, companies will continue to offer terrible pay. They have no incentive to stop right now.

People need to stand up for themselves and say that it doesn’t change anything

Some interesting debates about that come up when people debate the minimum wage. There's the idea that low-paying jobs had never been intended to be actual jobs for adults to support themselves on. They were intended as jobs for young people starting out or people in need of temporary work. In the modern era, however, those jobs became standardized and we have the situation where people can work a regular 40-hour week and not be able to live on it.

These jobs should only be for young people. I 100% agree

Good question and I agree, considering that most jobs today are combining 3 positions into one role but offering very low salaries with high level requirements with no consideration for the high cost of living today.

Because people have to pay their bills, eat and take care of families, I think they know it’s not ideal but sometimes you do what’s necessary to live, maybe it’s temporary or combined with other income.

Early 30s M here. Used to be really good on stage until I got a consulting job out of college.

I love consulting and have financial safety doing what I do today but I sure do miss the adulation, applause and life-energy the stage brought me. It was just…so adrenaline inducing.

No, career pivot is not an option. Prepping myself for a mid-life crisis in a few years. Already off all kinds of social media because it hurts to see all the mediocre people getting famous (Sorry for the hubris).
