The point about minimum wage is to prevent labor abuse in crappy week conditions by making sure people are just expensive enough to take their safety seriously.

Do you prefer people out of jobs without being able to sustain their self rather than people taking jobs that you judge yourself are bad for them ?

False dichotomy. I prefer to let people run their own lives instead of dictating it to them.

Being able to run its own life and not being able to choose its employer(s) seem contradictory to me

Anyone can choose their employer, it's the employer who can't pay less than some amount we as a society deem is a necessary minimum.
If anyone's going to have their freedom restrained, let's let it be the folks running businesses, hiring and firing, etc. They already hold more cards.
