The problem we have - and it's been mentioned here already - is that Americans feel we are entitled. Every high school graduate believes they are above minimum wage and above working in such industries as fast food. I worked fast food for seven years and had a blast doing it. Unless your coming out of high school with four years work experience, your worth only minimum wage - the truth is your worth less but legally no one can pay you less.
