Its what happens when inflation gets out of control, wages go all over the place. Fast food is likely very susceptible and still makes a boatload off their workers, and can quickly react, while insurance doesnt and is far slower.

Either way, think of it like this: In 5 years you can be a master fry cook or cashier, or have 5 years in sales at a major insurance company, both for $20/hr. Which would you rather have experience with, and which would give you a better chance for a better paying job after 5 years.

You want a job that pays $20 or a career that starts at $20?
