What was the average person’s life like during the Industrial Revolution? Would you like that life why or why not?

The average person had to wake up at 6:ooam and then go to work. If they were late they were fined and even possible locked out of the factory, losing that days pay. They were fed three meals a day, all of them were cheap meager meals. They only received a lunch break during the whole day, and their shift usually ended aroud 6:00pm.
I personally would not enjoy this life. You did not have the opportunity to interact with kids your age, and you were paid very little. I work at the hospital right now and I make over $9 an hour. these people usually only got six pence a year. which is not a lot considering all the work they did.
