Everyone that's saying this is bad advice because fuck corporations or minimum wage minimum effort isn't paying attention and reading what OP actually said. They're saying to make the best of a bad situation and learn what you can while you're there, not to try and leverage a raise from a shitty boss, but to leverage more money from your next job.
Most people have at least one shitty job in their life, usually more than one. If you have a shitty job and you aren't actively looking for another job or taking steps to learn more skills to get a better job, you only have yourself to blame. Before anyone says companies should be forced to pay a living wage, I want you to ask yourself one question: what do you think is going to change first, your job or corporate pay policies?

Thank you! I thought I was taking crazy pills
And I absolutely agree with your last point (and the rest of it)
We can only affect our own change before we can contribute on a larger scale
