Few days ago, I caught up with a friend I know for a very long time. He’s about ten years younger than me, a high school drop-out working in a supermarket as a checkout operator.

He’s been doing this for a while, doesn’t earn much and of course, feeling stuck. That’s what he told me at the coffee catch up.

I certainly understand how miserable it can be. In my first two years of my career, I was working as an office clerk earning close to minimum wage, couldn’t see myself getting promoted and getting a huge pay rise. Needless to say, I was unhappy. In fact, I was feeling hopeless.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have lots of respect to those who are working the minimum wage job because they worked hard for it. But let’s be honest, it’s not a position we want to be in for long. You don’t want to live below your means for the rest of your life, do you? And not to mention you’ll have a hard time when there’s a financial emergency.

If you happened to be feeling stuck at low pay jobs, keep reading. Because I’m going to share one method that’s easy to follow but will dramatically increase the odds of changing your life for good.

What will happen when you work for minimum wage…
