We all try to get a job with hopes of earning money and making our lives better. We want to make a living and support our family. Unfortunately, many employers and business owners in many different Tier 3 country like mine often take advantage of people and they actually underpay people for their efforts. I live in a country where there is no law that makes employers make them pay a fixed salary or minimum salary to their employees. This means that employers can employ people for low salaries and due to poor economical conditions, many people have no choice but to say yes to the salary being offered. What's quite ridiculous is the fact that a person with a blue collar job EARNS MORE WAGES than a person with a white collar job. Is this also happening in your country?

The first thing to notice about a failed or a weak country is that it pays generally or virtually low salaries to its workers. In this time of country, what is advisable for the citizens is to involve themselves in many steams to be making money in order to augment the low salary.

Is happening everywhere. If you're a salary earner your scope can't be broaden in life to expand other means of becoming wealthy. He's mindset will simply be on the stipend he gets, and how to survive long term from it. But an entrepreneur is busy thinking about his or her business welfare, knowing too well if the business turns lucrative, so will his earnings do.

Earning low salary is not really an excuse not to make it big. What makes us big is from within and doesn't depend on any external factor. A person earning low salary can decide to cut his cloths according to its cloth and decide to think deeper on how to better his situation.

In the Philippines there is a law on the minimum wage. Right now the minimum wage by law is $10 per day. Maybe 99% of big companies are following that law. But small businesses usually hire workers on a contractual basis like for a week or for a month only at a lower wage. It is not legal but the government cannot do anything with the low wages of the contractual worker.
