The upshot of all this is the disheartening realization that unless I can earn about $40,000 $45,000 a year, I'm better off in a minimum wage job.

Those are hard to find, would you settle for something that pays more? Now that the labor market has returned around here, see the dregs,
Philadelphia Craigslist for General Labor. The lowest I could find there is $8.50 for "standing around helping" type work. $10 for part time factory work. If you can pass a drug test, and have a minimum skill such as driving, the low wage is around $13. Your market may vary wildly.
Word on the street is common laborers, hauling 2x4s and shit, get $100 cash per day. that's also what pawn shops pay
you can collect gummint bennies and still do a cash job. not that i did but the rules of the game are different down in the dregs
