My son is a union millwright and currently working at the newly being built Amazon installing miles of conveyors. He's working six days a week at over $30/hr. and will top out at $38/hr. when becomes a full journeyman.
Learn a skill. Join a union.

My daughter has a college degree that is like two sentences long and is an independent bank loan officer (working under a company). While her paycheck varies and totally depends on how hard she works, she recently told me that she got a two week check that, if she did that every paycheck, would amount to a quarter million a year. She has also gone with only one contract in a month and gotten almost nothing. She is a hard worker and has been her companies top producer for the last two months.
Get a degree. Work hard.

STL1 thinks being average and a drone is a good goal to have.

Low interest rates make people buy new homes and refinance which makes my daughter's day!

They are both males and neutered. Son is 2 1/2 and they have never been a problem. The only time they get excited is around other dogs, not people.
I had the same fears about pit bulls as you, at first.

I have a bunch of friends who've worked at Amazon warehouses. It sucks. The pay isn't that great in terms of the cost of living in most areas where these warehouses are and unless you get overtime, you wont have much left over once bills are paid. These were my friends who were all roommates and rented out a house together. 1800$ a month just to live in a half way decent house with a yard for their dog. Then take in account utilities (and that could be a little high considering one of them was. DJ living there for a while and they all played and had a band set up in the basement- amps and shit are a drain on electric when you have that shit going everyday all day.) Then car insurance/gas/transportation to work. Grocery expenses. Health insurance... God forbid something happens that isnt a normal expense outside your budget that you need to pay (something wrong with the car that needs fixed, a speeding ticket, being sick and hospitalized).
Shit adds up and before you know it 15$ an hour isn't so great. Also remember that you wont be bringing home 15$ an hour with taxes. I would bet almost everywhere that they have these warehouses across the country are going to be near areas that are going to need that 15$ an hour just to survive. If it wasnt for all my friends pooling money and being roommates, it would have been next to impossible for them.

Yeah $15 an hour isn't much. You have to hussle on the side to survive these days.

I don't get out of bed for less than $50hr. $15...I'd probably just piss the bed and let the maid deal with it.
