A friend recently posted a job ad, requesting a Masters Degree, starting wage $15.87 per hour.How about developing your skill set so you're not working for 15 bucks an hour? Get off your ass and learn a trade, whatever that might be. But that's hard work and too many people would rather just sit on their asses and drink beer and demand a government handout.
To quote Chris Rock: "Do you know what making minimum wage is? It means that if I could pay you less, I would. But I can't because that's the law."
Thats what employers are demanding now.
