These were not jobs designed to be a forever or to provide for a family.

My wife put herself through college while working at Sams Club. She made $6.50 per hr. Sure she could have stayed there her whole life but as most, this was not her life long dream. I started out cleaning boats for $5/hr while in high school, then went to prepping boats for new sales to working on boats before college. So it all comes down to the individual.

You wanna be lazy, then be happy with your $8/hr and stop being a burden on the rest of us. Making consumers pay more for products and good because your lazy ass wants a hand out does not solve any issues. But then again we are a place where everyones gets a trophy even if you finish last.
