[QUOTE="onidraug, post: 4131416, member: 77528"] Yah, I got my degree while at UPS. Unfortunately, UPS seems the only company "willing" (forced to by union) to pay a living wage. I tried so hard to not be a driver. I spent years looking for something, anything else. Even if it meant slightly less money... but the jobs don't exist. Everyone wants to pay minimum wage. And in my state where it's going up every year, the companies are calling that a raise... a raise to consistency with minimum wage, woohoo. There is absolutely no other job save the medical field that I could even pay back my loans with. The country has really :censored:ed its future. When they push free education and ask "who should pay for it?" Well, :censored:ing everybody. Wasn't that the point... to get our kids educated and out of the bull:censored: that we do? Everybody should be paying for everybody to have free college... but then if nobody wants to pay for a degree holder, then :censored: it, I guess? I know a place that gets away with paying masters degree holders (we're talking $120k in education) around $30k a year... it's pitiful. So, either the unions come back, or ours is the last to fall... and the last liveable wage careers along with it. [/QUOTE]
