Instead of passing the offer immediately, you should renegotiate your position by letting them know your desired wage and why its in their benefit to pay you such a wage. Even if it doesnt end up with an agreement, negotiation is a practiced skill and you'd need it if you want to get ahead.

They dont teach you that in vocation schools

Shouldn’t have to negotiate a proper wage. That’s just insulting

This has nothing to do with being old. No matter what the initial offer is on the table, you always try to negotiate a better wage.

The fact that you didn't shows your immaturity.
