Yeah, sure. Let me live a life of mediocrity and have low wages, when I could make a lot more if I went to college.
So what if you're payed a low wage? It should be enough to buy water and food at least, and clothes. That's what is needed.
You don't need a TV, fancy car, etc. You don't even need electricity in your house.
A person able to buy food and water isn't living a "mediocre" life. If they had more money they'd just buy junk they don't even need.
Like I said before... unless you're greedy and want things you don't even need, food and water is enough.
Just out of curiosity, have you tried to live without electricity? It's not easy. It's REALLY hard if you live somewhere with a cold winter or a hot summer.
Also, unfortunately, for some people a low wage is NOT enough to buy food, water, and housing. There are a lot of places in the US where you can't afford basic necessities working full-time on minimum wage.
You mention clothes, but you're forgetting medical costs and household goods like toilet paper, toothpaste ...
