I had a paper route, then several minimum wage jobs. Never complained. I was glad someone would provide me a paycheck, and was thankful. They didn't have to. I rose up, and failed several times. Re-entered the minimum wage arena, and didn't complain. I was still greatful for a job. They didn't have to employ me.

Made it on my own, eventually, but nobody gave me anything, and it was not luck. It was attitude, and acknowledging that life is tough, and nobody owes me anything.

I now employ people, and I don't owe them a job. If they act like I do, I fire them.

I have no respect for anyone who thinks society owes them anything. And if people complain about working for low wages, all I can say is your attitude will prevent you from earning more.

Nobody owes you anything. Thank your employer, and shut up. Or whine, and get fired.
