prepare for a career that pays more than minimum wage

 The best way to prepare for a good paying job is to be well educated. It's not just enough to become knowledgeable or certified in the career you want to pursue, you need to learn a skill set that sets you apart from others and makes you valuable to employers. Become flexible, strive to be irreplaceable. Having a diverse skill set is also only half the battle though. You need connections, or to find the people you want to be employed by. Schools can get you in touch with partners, and you can go to job fairs.

Today in class we watched a video about living on minimum wage. I hope I never find myself in a situation where I have no other choice to work minimum wage, and although the future is uncertain I will work hard so that I can be prepared to live a good life.

Especially because I am a more masculine presenting woman who is attracted to other women. Nothing out of the ordinary happened today, but for lunch we were served cheese rippers which are my favorite!
