Would you be okay earning just above minimum wage your whole life? If not, you should formulate a plan to increase your earnings. A second job is the most straightforward way, but you could also look into a different line of work or trade school. You are young enough where these changes can have a massive impact on your total lifetime earnings and quality of life.

No it's not. Working a second job at minimium wage is still minimum wage, just for more hours.

Working in a job with promotion opportunities, gaining experience and knowledge, and education help secure better paid jobs.
