Re: This is all very well, but........

Needs must, yes, but a single word throws a spanner in the works: insufficient. That's why many people snub minimum wage work: not because it's minimum wage, but because it's not breadwinning. If it's not breadwinning, it's not going to be enough to pay the bills, which means why bother? You either die slower or be forced to do the work of two to make ends meet, meaning you both burn out faster (all work and no play...) and steal a job from someone else desperate to work.
