You had a minimum wage job with a 401k? That was a firm with a bigger HR department than it needed.

Aren't there giant companies that employ low wage workers (e.g. McDonalds and Starbucks) that might reasonably offer 401ks to all employees, even the minimum wage ones?

Ignoring the question if a minimum wage person can realistically afford to save, or course.

Large firms can have low-paying entry-level jobs.

I'm in Southern Utah, so it's not very competitive for tech work. I should move, but inertia and a bit of luck stumbling into the few webdev jobs that are around here has kept me in place so far.

Plenty of high paying Boston companies.
