Nickeld and Dime Evaluation

Chapter 4: Evaluation
In the last chapter, the evaluation, she begins to analyze everything she did and went through at each of her jobs. She gets to a conclusion that she did the best she could in every position she had at every job she tried her best to make the best of it. However, she does feel a little bit bad at the fact that she didn’t have full encouragement and all of her jobs from her coworkers.
She noticed that in her jobs she found skills that she never thought she’ll need and she actually did.
Furthermore she recognizes the mistakes she made. She described the unskilled jobs where she was challenged both physically as well as mentally and not only that but where she saw the maltreatment that many coworkers had to go through. As a result to what she had to go through she was able to notice how difficult it is to find a job that pays well and not only that but she noticed that many are paid really little which makes it hard for them to find an apartment that they can afford and when they can’t they find one they are forced to live farther away from their job.

She believes that the reason why the wages are so low is because they reinforce the low self-esteem that she saw in each job. Like the drug test, the maltreatment by the bosses, being accused of infractions and being treated in many ways the she felts was more like child than a women.

  1. I actually believe that the wages are so low because the workers do not know how much their hard work is really worth. Because they do not have as high an education as others, it is possible that they feel like they aren't worth as much as the higher-paid people in this world.

  2. I agree. The wages are low because the less education that people have the less money they make. Which causes a dent in their life that makes them either middle class or poor people.
