Me: Joined U.S. Airforce, built manufactured homes, worked in a factory, sold shoes at a shoestore, worked in sporting goods at Wal-Mart (worst job, ever), worked at a factory again, sheriff's deputy, police officer, sheriff's deputy AND police officer, nuclear security officer.
I haven't been unemployed since I was eighteen.
A guy that I work with, now asked a 20 year old if he needed a job. He could get the kid a job making $8 an hour. The kid (according to the guy that told me the story) said, "Hell no. I ain't getting a job for less than $20 an hour). And that's pretty much what I see among the younger people. Go to college but not work. Graduate and not work. Be too proud to work a menial job.
And my kid is going to be the laziest of them all. I give her EVERYTHING that I didn't have. She's not going to know the value of hard work or a dollar, either.
Now, excuse me while I buy $100 dollars worth of video games that I'll never play.
