Movie Reviews of Waging a Living
Movie Review: EDUCATIONAL TOOL THAT IS ENTERTAINING
Summary: 4 Stars
This film brings the reality of how the working poor fare in the United States. I teach in a public high school and use this DVD to point out the importance of completing some type of post-high school education.
The film clearly reflects the strain placed on an individual with children who has not attained an educational degree that will earn higher salaries. At times it is a painful film to watch because of the constant setbacks and roadblocks the four individuals face but it has some lighter moments and one success story. The fact that one of the four was able to escape poverty points out how difficult it is to attain the bottom rung of middle class, when saddled with children and no education.
