Move to a state with a high minimum wage

You'd be right back in the same boat. You might make more, but now you live where the cost of living is way higher, too.

California has the second highest minimum wage in the cou try at $16.90/hour, and it's still not enough to live off of in California.

    your quality of life will be much higher. in high wage states you get way more for your dollar in terms of opportunities and services.

    in CA op wouldn't need a car, would have way more opportunity/choice for jobs, and probably could take classes at a community college to improve their life.
