读后感
在中国，薪水多少算低，我不知道。因为仿佛自己从未拿过底薪（只有换工作停发薪水的时候）。但是我还是和那些低薪者共事过。大学毕业找工作，去麦当劳应聘储备经理，曾经和服务员一起劳动过三日。培训我的员工是个老员工，但也是服务员，是个中年妇女。因为带我一起做事，所以...
评分前阵知乎上曾讨论过“生活大爆炸”中Penny的收入能否真的让她过得比较滋润，当时有人引据各种美国的生活数据，证明她是可以过得还不错的。不久之后又看到这本亲历女服务员生活的书，才发现了阳光下的另一面。 《我在底层的生活》，也就是芭芭拉的《Nickel and Dimed》。在《社...
评分以前说过的那个调查，富人们会说很多穷人之所以穷是因为他们不努力。知道几个人亲自去试。。还记得说第一天清洁大楼因为速度太慢，垃圾没赶上垃圾车，熟练了一阵子以后勉强能按时下班。。 下班后躺在破烂的临时住所里，累成狗了突然体会到穷人们光是维持生活都精疲力竭了，体力...
评分不同于电视情景喜剧和好莱坞电影中的美国，另一个美国是一个被其自身忽视的隐密大陆。很少见诸报道的关于美国梦的真相就是，这个国家也存在着分布广泛、不断增长和不可避免的贫穷。在这个国家中，那些做着基础工作的人们，只能拿到低于生存标准的薪资。 芭芭拉•艾伦瑞克潜...

First Year Seminar要求读的。很有启发。美国梦到头来也只是梦而已。
评分看不下去
评分We are so used to social status we reside and hence lose the view of the whole picture. The rich does not understand the middle class. Middle class does not understand the working class. The working class does not understand the poor. It is so hard to move between the classes even if you try, try, and try.
评分写得太condescending。虽然很大程度上可以理解，以作者的背景，所看所感肯定不是从普通working poor的角度。如果是我去体验，估计想法看法也是一样的。但可以写得更好一点。有些时候感觉她要表达的是好的意思，但听起来却有相反的undertone。
评分通勤時間聽完。
