I keep seeing a job posting for a job that I think I would really like doing, but the pay is way too low to consider it.
They are fishing for desperate people... this was their MO for generations. We are undergoing demographic change and this dynamic is not tenable going forward with out mass migration, which has trippled since COVID but still not enough.
Either way, skill up and get money... that's the only way to get ahead. Don't settle for shit wage and if you have, then switch ASAP .
It's an extremely niche job and I assume the business owner is just completely oblivious to current wage expectations. It's the kind of thing where you would probably have an old timer and an apprentice for an extremely large geographic area.
niche and low pay? must be delusional owner lol but older ones don't understand new market and you are prolly right abou some old timer enabling it.
but under these facts, owner will have to adjust. if job requires skills, owner must pay!
It's highly likely that they are not charging customers enough either.
Maybe, maybe not.
But why should a worker worry about owner's business model. I think worker should start thinking more like owner, ie owner of their labour...
