Hi there! So, you know when people go to work to make money? Well, sometimes people feel like they HAVE to go to work every day, even when they don't want to.
They might feel like they have no choice because they need money to pay for things like food, clothes, and their house or apartment. When someone feels like they have no choice but to work, even if they don't like their job or boss, they might call themselves a "wage slave."
Basically, a wage slave is someone who feels stuck in their job because they need the money, even if they don't like the job. But don't worry! People can try to find ways to make their work more enjoyable or look for a job that they love more.
