That wouldn’t be the only job he will do all his. Better jobs that requires minimum efforts but with conditions of employment will come. Antony saying that the employer is wicked can’t employ you and pay you anything that deserve now. It’s the experiences we gather and become masters at the very least thing. Keep it up. You’ll shine someday somewhere.
