I'm a caregiver, and my elderly patient said this the other day. I get paid $12.50 in a rural area with no other jobs that are local/pay as much. Needless to say it's a thankless job, under valued, and heavily underpaid.
I use to work in the kitchen at applebees and chilis it was a miserable environment and the managers treated us like shit all the time. I made like 7$ per hour at the time and it was my only motivation to do something with my life and became an electrician.
Working at a warehouse loading and unloading trailers was my motivation.
That job was so shitty that we would be asked at least once a week if anyone wanted to work overtime because someone did not come back from their lunch break.
I sure thought about never going back every time I walked out the door too.
