[QUOTE="dezguy, post: 2442495, member: 49811"] True enough but it still doesn't discount the fact that kids just entering the work force are having harder and harder times finding a job in their field. I know plenty of guys who are working multiple part time jobs because they haven't been able to find anything in their field. Hell, the only reason I work for FedEx is because there were no jobs in the field I graduated in, at the time of me finally being done school. Still doesn't discount the fact that oldfart witnessed that period and hasn't realized that is no longer the case. You can't go out and buy a house for $30 000. Households with two incomes today don't even come close to having their dollar go as far as households with just one income then. For him to come out and say that hard work is the reason he got his is absolutely false when anyone with half a brain can see it was pure luck. Why would you be mad if someone made more than you? I have plenty of friends who make more than I do, I don't get mad at them. I don't even get mad at the guys I know are making more than me at my station. It's not their fault the company set up a tiered workforce. What I get mad at is the idea they have that they deserve a higher wage than everyone else just because. We all do the same job, why shouldn't we all get paid the same? I don't meddle in others paycheques. I'm not going up to each and every person in my station, asking what they make but that doesn't mean I don't have an idea of what each person makes. If that makes me someone "you don't want in your organization", oh well. [/QUOTE]
