I'm not sure if they are showing that is all he can get without experience or that the employer is taking advantage of his situation to pay him a lot less.
See, even without experience,10k is too less. You can't even pay your rent with it. Even for an internship, the average salary is between 20-50k. Besides, he may have been working at his store, but there are a lot of transferable skills (usually), like customer relationship, sales, inventory management, finance management, accounting.
Of course, expecting this level of thinking from PS writers is a joke. 😆
