All i hear is a bunch of crying and no resolution... Simple observations... How much should a entry level fast food person make? In reality honestly what should they make. We are talking entry level. Because I know a few people making ALLOT at MC'D's. Managers make great wages I think a few make up to around 65k a year. I dated a girl that use to pull 3k a month when she was 22 from McD's. When i first started to date a girl at her age workin there I honestly wanted to run. But then she told me her plans to run one and informed me about their actual level of promotions and wages. That the people that make the "low wages" never apply and show progression in their fields to promote. So why should some one with no management skills or motivation to excel get more pay?
The job is intended for a high school student period. That is their target demographic for hiring. It is not their fault that Americans have no motivation or spent half their life being lazy and realized at 30 they need to finally work. Also to live on your own with out roomates it does take more money, but I just researched apt's where I live and you can get them down to 300$ for a 1 bed room apt. this is living alone independently. @ 1700 a month you can easily do this. You may not have a car and rely on public transportation but its possible to live on your own at that wage.
Also if your 30 years old and you find your self making low wages for years, crying about it will not resolve your problem. Here are things that will resolve your problem.. At the wage level you are eligible for free day care if you have kids. Take nigh classes to better educate your self and find a technical field you can go to. University of Phoenix offers one day a week. Sure it may not be the best school but we just graduated a guy who was homeless and is now making 20$ an hour working for the county. Take the time to work more, get a second job. My grandfather use to have to drive trucks for 18 hours a day to make 1g a week. He did what he had to do and never bitched about it. He knew he wouldnt make enough to work an 8 hour day, so he solved his problem and busted his ass. Never once got on gov't assistance.
My dad had to drive trucks across the country to support me while my mom worked 3 jobs. Beautician, Waitress, and sally's beauty salon. They did what they had to do and never complains about low wages. My mom saved enough to run her sown salon and now owns it after 15 years.
So the answer to these people that cry about low wages... Guess what people have been crying for YEARS its not going to change.. So you can either keep making excuses or do something about it.
i didnt comment on any of that....every one has to live within there means....but then our own government doesnt...not everyone is handed the same opportunities though
but thats life...or democracy or some shit
Everyone has the same chance for success I fucking hate this excuse. This is what everyone who all ready excepts defeat says. Well i didnt have the same opportunity, he was rich , i wasn?t his life was easy. Like i said before I never saw my dad and mom worked 3 jobs. I had NO parents growing up to supervise me. I could have made EVERY bad decision possible, but I wanted to succeed. Everyone gets public schools free, everyone gets a shot at an education. Everyone gets a shot at sporting programs. Look how many athletes come from nothing. Every year at low income schools the entire top 10% gets awarded scholarships. Guess what if you cant go to college then maybe you should bust your ass and study. The only excuse I believe is that "I did not want it bad enough" simple as that. At the end of the day the only person that you can blame is your self. If you still blame other people you will never succeed.
have you not gotten out of your house enough to know that a lot of skilled laborers here were living that dream before their jobs got sent to some slave country and now they are stuck with whatever scrap job they can get their hands on?
that entire manufacturing towns all across this country have basically shut down because of this? climbing towards 3 million manufacturing jobs lost to China?
that for breadwinner adults school is a luxury when the mortgage is due and the fridge is getting bare?
that not everyone lives with their parents and no one can plan for the company they spent 20 years climbing to the top in to sell out?
if this country is retarded enough to give our fucking jobs away, if our government is retarded enough to allow it, they need to make the jobs we have left pay a livable wage.
My answer to this is the same with evolution. There will be things that turn obsolete. If your field is outdated or becoming obsolete, or outsourced. You have to options. Sit on your ass pissed, or bust your ass to learn a different field. I know in CA PG&E has TONS of programs to take obsolete careers and train people on a new career path. Its called taking advantage of your situation and not excepting to lose. Yes your company is over it got outsourced. What can you do? Nothing.. No amount of bitching and saying big business is unfair is going to make you successful. Big Business will be this way forever, it will NEVER change. So your option is either to compete and win at this game of life or sit back and get passed the fuck up.
