Re: What our country is creating
Dude, My roommate is a Security guard at the local Social Security office, every day, he comes in with a new horror story. the best one was when this Old as dirt Native guy came in walking with a cane, massive calloused hands.. He helps his wife sit down after she takes a number(she's there about her retirement check or something), then starts to shoot the breeze with my roomie. Talking about how much his fish processing plant was raking in that summer, and that its a shame he can't get enough people willing to work. He kept goin on, saying that yeah, it was hard work, but its 20 bucks an hour with room and board the whole summer, and that he could really use some strong men like the ones sitting there in the lobby. Sure enough people started slinking away from him, and looking the other way, and diving into their brand new iPhones.
20 bucks an hour with room and board? dude, with the Park Service I was getting $19.00/hr with no room and board and I still think I'm rich! Good Lord, if I wasn't going to school on the GI Bill right now, I would have taken that job offer right damn quick! Or hell, the one I got from my roommate's security firm for 28.50/hr. I just don't get it, why would you settle for minimum cash flow when you get offers thrown at you like that!?
