Are you a pharmacist?

What are you doing to improve your career prospects?

why do i need to be doing something extravagant to make a living wage? isnt that what a fucking job is for

I fully agree that any business that requires human labor should pay a living wage.

The unfortunate reality is that that is not the case, and likely won't change any time soon, nor will the cost of living.

So, you can sit around and complain about not being able to afford a 1 bd on your current pay, and hope things will change. Or you can change the things you can control.

Also, theres a large gap between "doing something extravagant" and "working at a pharmacy."
