When I was in high school $5 an hour was decent money.I worked for a lawn service for $6Hr, and were not talking a cushy one where you got to ride a zero turn, I got to walk my A$$ off behind a friggen walk behind and was expected to mow a lot in a trailer park in under 4 minutes. I was happy to do it then and thought it was good money. Now they want $10Hr to flip burgers(which was $3.45 an hour when I was in high school). My first job out of high school was in a dealership as a mechanic, and I started at $12HR, and had to supply all of my own tools, pay for my uniforms, and pay for my own training and certification tests(we got reimbursed if we passed our certs). Now they are talking about burger flippers who don't even have to have a high school education getting paid more than that.

I just don't see how we can keep going like this and our economy not collapse. It's scary to think about, but at our current rate it just seems ineviteable.
