      Most science jobs pay garbage. We do it for the love of learning, knowledge and helping others.

      EMT; I’ve heard that I’m about to get a raise to $17/hr but I think it may just be a carrot to keep me there (currently make $16).

        It’s so fucked. I know there are different levels, but the McDonald’s out here in California starts at $20/hr.

          Yep, I could walk into a McDonald’s here and earn at least the same depending on the position. I knew that going into it though.

      This right here. I took an EMT course at the local community college in 1999, then learned that the pay was minimum wage. Never got a job as an EMT because I needed more money to live.
