[QUOTE="kene1024, post: 369963, member: 10214"] At the ripe old age of 49, I don't consider myself an old-timer yet, but I have to say I'm sure glad I'm not 22. With the economy as screwed up as it is, gas headed for $5 per gallon, and home prices starting at $300K (here around Chicago), I couldn't imagine trying to get started in life making the starvation wages that a lot of these "kids" have to deal with. Around here, if you are making less than $50k, you are at the poverty level. Luckily, I make a lot more than that, but I've been working since I was 16. If I was starting out today at $8-10 an hour like a lot of these jobs pay, I'd be screwed. [/QUOTE]
