Why wouldn’t someone voluntarily offer you a job at twice today’s minimum wage? Minimum wage is the least amount of money that someone can pay you for working for them. Whichever state of America you live in the minimum wage is different. It is supposed to be enough to keep you alive for up to whenesver you get paid next. Minimum is what you are usually paid if you have a small job like a janitor or lifeguard. If someone offered you to pay you twice as much the minimum wage to be a janitor, then you should probably take the job until you find a better one. If you can survive off minimum wage, then you can do better with twice as much. 

Why wouldn’t someone voluntarily offer you a job at twice today’s minimum wage? One reason is because they are only required to pay you minimum wage. Unless they really need someone to take the job they are going to pay you the bare minimum. If there was a law that made businesses pay you twice the minimum wage, then they would have to. If they were going to make a law about it, they should just change the minimum wage. Everyone would prefer to have twice the minimum wage, but if the job isn’t extremely important, then you will get minimum wage. Do your best to get a good job where you’ll get paid well, but while your trying to you should have a small job that pays minimum wage.
