$15 an hour? Let's do some math. At $15 an hour Johnny Fry-Boy would make $31,200 annually. An E-1 in the military makes $18,378. An E-5 with 8 years of service only makes $35,067 annually.
Hmmmmmm... so you're telling me, Sally McBurgerflipper, that you deserve as much as those kids getting shot at, deploying for months in hostile environments, and putting their collective asses on the line every day protecting your unskilled butt!
Here's the deal, Baconator, you are working in a job designed for a kid in high school who is learning how to work, earning enough for gas, and hanging out with their equally goofy high school pals. If you have chosen this as your life-long profession, you have failed.
I worked at a movie theater as a projectionist when I was
seventeen years old. I made $3.25 an hour. I didn't bitch. I was just happy to have some spending money. I also knew that I didn't want to be doing that when I was 30 years old and raising a family!
Pull your heads out of your asses and stop being content with your McJob. Leave that for the kids who really need it so that they can learn a basic work ethic and realize that's not what they want to do with their lives. End of rant.
