[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 718148, member: 24302"] I admire your optimism. On the lowest payscale starting pay is(or at least was) $13.76hr. I was rehired at $10.85hr 11 years ago. For guys like me it'll take 25-30 years to catch top-out, and that's assuming we get a regular raise every year. Throw in a year without a raise here and there, and a few partial raises, and we'll never catch the mythical top-out. Luckily my grandfather had a solid water well drilling business and left a decent amount to his kids. I may not be middle class, but I'm related to some. I worked years ago with couriers who's parents were sharecroppers. Pretty tough to rise out of poverty to grab that American dream when the company you work for keeps making it more and more difficult. [/QUOTE]
