[QUOTE="Purple2Brown, post: 2504121, member: 65094"] I see your reasoning, but its harder than you think out there to find a job that pays 19 an hour starting with a 35 dollar an hour guarantee within 4 years. A lot of people spend their lives working for minimum wage because they can't get anything else either through some sort of fault they may have or truly no fault of their own, it could just be the economy sucks and 80% of jobs out there pay you nothing because they can. Who the :censored: can reasonably survive on 9.50 an hour? Even if it were absolutely guaranteed that the permanent possibility were not there, people who are used to working for less than half of what this job will pay you would still gladly work ~2 months to equate to 4 months of getting paid what they might be used to. They have me on a route ranging in the last week from 120 - 150 stops, planning on putting a helper on me and boosting the number of stops. In the meantime the majority of the other seasonals seem to be driving straight trucks and doing 40 stops a day with half of those being pickups. I honestly swing back and forth between pessimism and optimism about what the outcome may be after the seasons over, because I will be screwed without a job with pay at very minimum like this. It is what is though, all I can do is bleed myself of everything I've got and hope for the best. The most money I ever made before this was 17.54 when I worked for FedEx. [/QUOTE]
