No they are about equal. I'd rather work for free as an intern and gain experience than work minimum wage, homeless or not. Employers look at previous employment, if you have a degree and are working a minimum wage job, you aren't desirable. Even less so than I am now. I can live out of my car and sell plasma for food. If you have experience or thoughts otherwise let me know.
I made this thread to let people know....even if you turn your life around, sometimes life sucks. Things don't always work out for everyone. Have realistic expectations. Even when your family is abusive and your friends don't care about you.....you can always sleep in your car at Walmart. But hey at least I have a car.
