Me and the Joads

Tom Joad heard that there is work not too far from here and it pays well and they say it might be a weeks worth. It might be worth checking out. I should go with him.
I got payed yesterday, or not really. I got some money yesterday, I wouldnt want to call it pay for fear of insulting people who do get payed. What the hell does the government, employers, employees and everybody else think people can do when they make less than $10 an hour. I got payed for my two weeks and I barely make enough to pay my bills. I have the measiliest bills, no huge debts, no large financial burden yet by working 30 hrs a week I can barely survive even by eating shitty food and drinking cheap beer. Forget about saving anything or paying off my moderate student loan. I feel like in a trap similar to the Grapes of Wrath, although not a severe but really, if I were to stay like this I would have nothing in life. You can not have a child, a car, or even a dog unless you work 55+ hrs a week or have a plush job that gives you a false sense of security. Who knows how to get a plush job, all jobs I want are lower paying jobs so thats great. Even if I tried to get a high paying job that I hated I would never get it for lack of experience and pertinent training. Even with a degree and a EAD certificate I am pretty much destined for not-much-moneydom. It seems pointless going to work when I make less than $50 a day. I was making more in the states in a day then I do here in week.
Where is a nursing mother to give me some milk?
