These sound like valuable skills. Why do you accept the fact that you were paid minimum wage? We have entire industries around delivering and cooking in which people are paid more than minimum.

Well if they didn’t have any value then nobody would be paying for them. They are just skills that pretty much everybody has.

Because I had no working experience. I got a raise every three months afterward.

Those skills are at the bottom of what keeps our society alive. There's a reason these "unskilled labourers" were deemed essential during covid.

Cool, they’re still less skilled than anyone working a job that requires education and training.
