If enough people do that, wages will go up. 400 tenge an hour is ridiculous, especially for a job that only lasts 12 hours a week.

If you double the hours, and another 2 days a week, the wage obviously increases. I'm not saying you could suddenly live a life of luxury, and I wonder whether rent & utilities bills are covered elsewhere, but in terms of a fair comparison to other works, I think more hours per month might be make sense? 3 days a week, 4 hours a day?
