Disabled individuals need more then just a job that they are assigned too by an agency or school. Able bodied people get to chose where they want to work then they apply. People with disabilities should be offered the same choice. My work experience was chosen for me without my input. I really wanted to work at Trader's Joes in high school, but I was not given a choice. Instead I went to Macy's then to Barnes and Noble. Neither one of them were places that I wanted to work and guess what I was not motivated to work there. I did not complete the job for the whole year. The work was really tedious and boring. I had to dust the selves and racks for an hour. This was not a pleasant experience and I had to miss school
Disabled individuals need to make at least minimum wage. It may be legal but it is not ethical If people were able to make minimum wage it wouuld cost the goverement less in SSI. A nickel an hour or even a dollor is not enough for an able bodied so why is it ok to pay said ammount to the disabled. This does not make senese to me. The disabled are people first with wants and intrest. We deserve to be payed at the same rate as our able bodied counterparts. It is not eithical.
That is my two cents for the day. What are your thoughts?
