Just curious-what’s the least YOU would work for?””’

FYI:

On 2 occasions, when I was looking for a job, I offered to work for ONE full week without pay if they decided not to keep me.

This was over a 40+ year period.

IF they kept me, I got the hourly wage I wanted & I got paid for the week I had already put in.

Both times, I got the job. In the second one, I got the wage I wanted & 3 raises within 6 weeks.

I was an honor student in high school & I was a 4.0 student in the accounting classes I took at a community college.

I was qualified as a full-charge bookkeeper & I was game enough to make this kind of offer.

Most kids today have NO skills & are pitiful about work ethics.

The minimum wage laws have held wages below what they would be without those laws. Would you pick tomatoes at 15 dollars an hour, that is what illegals are being paid to do those jobs that Americans won’t do.

Crops rotting in the field did not happen. In every instance of illegals vacating a state, there where Americans lined up looking for those jobs.

I, at 64, would pick tomatoes for $15, as hard as I’m hurting due to Obama $10 an hour. Now some one 16 years old with no work experience, $5 an hour to start, with either a raise or a firing with in three months.
