You certainly learn to multi-task, put out fires as they break out, give customer service with a smile no matter what, etc.
I was good, so I moved up to Hostess...then I joined the Army, finished college thanks to Uncle Sam, gained better skills...

THAT is what the argument should be, not a dollar amount.
THAT is worthy of a bumper sticker.
