Dittoes. And nothing lasts forever. That $8 per hour job he whines about could lead to somethng better — if he is reliable, dependable, a good worker, shows up on time and sober, gets along well with others, doesn’t complain.

If not, he might have to look in the mirror or listen to himself talk to get a clue why he’s stuck.

I bought my 5 acres in 2007 while making $7.75 an hour, and that was after 5 raises. It amazed me how many of my coworkers would complain they "weren't getting paid what they were worth" when they only showed up maybe half the time, were grouchy to the customers, and did sloppy work while chattering on their cell phones the whole time. I never said it to their faces, but I remember thinking several times that they were getting paid 10x what they were worth, they just weren't worth much.
