Yeah, and this, along with the threat of more lockdowns, a slow vaccine roll-out and local vaccine hesitancy, probably won't do us or Filipinos any favors.

 

Wages for people working in these industries is quite high. The average salary at Google is 130k+, Apple 140k, Microsoft 120k. Maintenance and skilled jobs at factories continue to pay higher salaries. Plumbers, HVAC and electricians are making a killing compared to what they did in the past. I don't think unskilled labor should make a lot of money but they should be able to make a living. People that are unwilling to learn a skill need to understand that the second their mindless job can be automated it will be and that their job security is very low. Low skill jobs should be entry level and people in these jobs shouldn't expect to do much other than survive...but they should be able to do survive, something current minimum wage really can't do in a lot of places in the US

 

Well......... I have always applied this rule of thumb> (If you have to ask what something costs .....yah can't afford it.) I buy what I desire and that's the result of hard work and commitment to save while your young, alive and healthy. Any teen should understand capitalism now-a-days!! Work hard and find your passion for a job you can love. Get an awesome mate and save. Do overtime, commit and focus on your capital and savings growing. It will pay out huge in the end. End meaning when you become retiring age.
