why do people think that just cause a job is low skill low wage that they are always available?
| Because they are.
Their is a difference in no jobs being available, and not wanting to get a job.
Where I'm currently working I started at like $8.25/hr pretty shitty pay.
That was a year ago, now I'm making $11.75/hr. And all I do is walk around for 8 hrs. a day.

it was 3.99 tonight and i shouldve gotten it then, when i left work it was 4.09 and thats cheapest you'll find in the whole chicago land area, aside from maybe 2, 3 cent different
and sadly enough 8th, around here you actually have to try to get low end jobs, cuz thats what everybody around here is on, just some shit for money

You can support yourself on 2 burger king type jobs. If you have no other skills, not even a high school diploma, you could get 2 burger king jobs and work 80 hours a week and make good money.
Obviously that is not preferred. But don't say you cant get a job. You just dont want the job you can get. Go to school, get some experience, train with someone who's already in your field.
There are plenty of ways to get ahead and get experience in job fields, not all of which you need money to do. And sometimes, you have to work shit jobs. EVERYONE DOES. Do you think the CEOs of companies started off as CEO's? Are you fucking kidding me? The overwhelming majority of self made people worked tons of crappy jobs to get where they are. Its called sacrifice, determination, and hard work.
There are people that own McDonalds franchises now that started off as hourly employees. They worked up, and worked up and worked up.
or you know, continue complaining. |

i dont think anyone would question that hard work gets you to the top but your example is extreme....just cause you see some mcdonalds signs hiring dont mean they hiring for full time work, alotta of these larger corporations with low wage low skill jobs make attaing a FULL TIME position like attaining a big promotion because at that point they have to start paying benefits....the southern grocery store PUBLIX is a great example of this bull shit
Im wondering 8th...did you go this route, did your family? do you really know what the ride on this road is like?
Go to school, get some experience...tutition is free? books are free? rent and food are free when you gotta do a two year internship inorder to be qualified for an entry level posistion that you just racked up 30000 dollars of student loan debt for?
Do you really know anything about the struggle homie? this aint your daddys world where all you had to do was put your head down and grind the system has become preditory, people are assets now. but what do you care, ill bet you got a really great job that you worked really HARD to get.
Yuppies love telling the rest of us to work hard...homie do a week with me in the sun and then you can tell these boys bout working |

Rep Power: 8   | Re: Are you squeezing the dollar tighter now ? LoL.. Shiiiiit Imma tell yall like THIS. I've done just about anythang and everythang that someone wit a High School Diploma and very lil post-education can do. I bounced around job to job from 18-20. I started doin this Electrician shit wit Lou Bez back in February of '07. What that niggah was sayin was, if you aint worked under the Sun diggin and pickin thru rock for 8 hours a day throughout an entire South Florida summer, hard work is a term you should considering using less loosely, ya dig? Cuz that shit is KILLER.. matter of fact I should be out there right now haha.. but too many drinks with the sexy bartender last night. Yessssuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
