[QUOTE="iowa boy, post: 799972, member: 13555"] Every old-timer on this board understands the meaning of that dollar in their pocket. The starting wage for part-timers was a lot better back then, I agree. But most of the old-timers on this board have worked for everything they ever wanted or needed. Nothing was handed to them by their parents. I myself never had a video game until I spent my money on it. What I'm trying to say is that, yes the starting wage was better, but not every ones first job was at UPS. I made due with my 3.35 an hour. I made a car payment, partial insurance payments and put gas in that car for 3.35 an hour, and had spending money left over to go out on when I had time. I moved into my own apt at 18 making 4.15 an hour and paid the rent, electric and phone an still had a car payment and insurance and gas to buy. I never had a cell phone til I was 23. I never "had" to spend $50 or $60 on a video game for my PS3 or my XBox. I know there are better stories than mine here on the BC, but the part-timers don't have it as bad as you say they do. The current generation seems to want all the latest and greatest "toys" and mommy and daddy wont say no and automatically buy the said toy for him or her. This is why the old timers on this board talk badly about the current generation of employees.:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
