“That depends if you have some marketable skill or not.”
A friend told me the other day that 5 year employes of Costco gets 20 an hour...
Sounds pretty good for an unskilled worker. But, like I said, too many poor people don’t have the vision to start work at a place for $10/hr and work steadily for several years to get to that $20/hr level. And too many absolutely WILL NOT leave the podunk little towns with no jobs to make that kind of money. My home town is one of those podunk towns. Three of my four brothers still live there and have no jobs.
