I was just going to say the same thing.

There's a ladder to this work thing. If you're at the bottom, it's probably because that's where you belong. Unskilled workers are a dime a dozen.

And I don't mean that in a bad way.....It's just the way it is. Why should they make as much as someone who worked and got through high school...as worked for many years. And there are plenty of workers who abhor responsibility.

Bottom tier employees at Walmart make the same or more than their counterparts at Target ...

I use a paraphrase of “Ricardo's Iron Law of Wages” in class. Low and minimum skill workers will never make much more than what they need to survive.

If you make bad choices and don't equip yourself with job skills that separate you from all the other potential workers, you will be a R.I.L.O.W.; and it will be your fault.
