Quote:A job is a job and I commend people who would rather work for a living than relying on our taxes to just drift through life. But as I said, these jobs are simply stepping stone jobs. If you want to make flipping burgers your career, that's fine and nothing wrong with it. But businesses shouldn't have to front the cost at $11 or $15 dollars per hour because they decide to just "settle".. Go out and get an education. There's SO MANY different scholarships and government funding available to go back to school on. Just takes a little hard work on your part, and if hard work scares you, then maybe you are a Burger King lifer..

Sidenote.. When I say "you", I wasn't talking about specifically you..

Sadly not all of us are meant for college. Try as I might I just don't have the aptitude for it, and it's not for lack of trying. My brain just doesn't work that way and I know I'm not the only one. Thankfully I don't have to try to support myself on minimum wage as my husband has a good career. If not for that I'd be screwed.
