That’s crazy: there are cleaners who speak the language? I thought this was a stereotypical job for immigrants because you don’t need special skills or credentials nor have to know the language. The skills are basic; you just need to work hard, be reliable and figure out how to get fast at it
The cleaners that know the language.. idk mate, higher education costs 1 month's minimum wage to fund a whole bachelor's.
Achieving the bachelor takes effort though. The job that you get with the bachelor also is more difficult to do. More stressful.
Doesn't really pay much more. Maybe 200 euros?
Minimum wage pays barely any taxes. While the "discount on tax" is lost as you climb the ladder.
At 3250 euros gross wage I get 2250 euros net.
At minimum wage, 2050 euros. They get 2000 euros net.
It's not a big deal. Of course my wage will keep growing, while theirs will stagnate.
But complacency is quite the drug.
