working as a teaching assistant

Is anyone in this group a TA? I work as a TA and the pay is shocking for the amount of work we actually have to do! I was just wandering if anyone actually lives comfortably on that wage with a home and children etc. I'm 21 and want to try and work my way up to eventually earn some decent money but that will probably take time and a lot more time in education! So annoying when people earn way more than me in a job you don't need qualifications for ☹️
