--- Quote from: ysth on 04 May 2014, 22:44 ---Jim has phrased it a little off; he's not describing a baker, he's describing a bakery owner.
--- End quote ---
His description fits the work of employed bakers as well as that of bakery-owning bakers (not, however, the work of bakery owners who mainly act as managers of their business and leave the actual baking to their employees). It's just that, as an employed baker, your willingness to work "ungodly hours" might be curbed by union regulations/workplace laws, and your passion and zeal might wane if you feel they are exploited by your employer.

--- Quote from: cesariojpn on 04 May 2014, 22:16 ---So basically, Jim just glorified minimum wage jobs in the second to last panel.
--- End quote ---
If you think that business owners are glorified minimum wage workers, then I suppose so, yes.

Early in her stint of being a small business owner my wife discovered that with all the time that needed to be spent on paperwork, etc for the store, that she was getting slightly less than minimum wage....
cesium133:
I just calculated how much I make per hour, given I typically work ~65 hours per week: $6.70/hour. Granted, I am a graduate student, though...
Barmymoo:
Hm. Working on the assumption that I work 22 weeks a year (my degree is approximately 50% placement, 50% theory but I think it's actually more like 60% placement overall), I make £6.40 an hour. That's not too bad! It's not really a wage though, it's a bursary, and thankfully not taxed.
Sorflakne:
Oh Jim, you set her heart all aflutter.
