I spent the first couple working years of my life on minimum wage, lived with a bunch of people and ate KD daily. It certainly makes the spoils of business more enjoyable when you start at minimum wage!

Same here. My first real job in high school was minimum wage. I worked it most of my senior year and for about 6 months after I graduated. Then I got a better job. Didn't make much more than minimum, but a little more. I worked it for about 1.5 years then I got my first real job.
I saw on the news here the other day a company opened up and needed to hire 20 more people. They were offering $8 an hour and on the day they were taking applications they had 400 people show up. It was pretty wild. People with bachelors degrees willing to work in a warehouse.
I think if you are in real estate or any financial or banking stuff times are very tough right now.
