I understand and agree... but remember, YOU are making something of yourself. This is not forever.

Do i have respect for my bosses who bark off the orders and make 100k a year? No I have 0 respect for them. To come to me and complain how sales are down and we only made 150k this month, while they are paying me 8.40 an hr is a complete insult to me and my intelligence, it does the exact opposite and makes me not give a **** about the business or doing anything for them.
But what is your job there? If you are in sales making that pay, no wonder they are struggling.

But Im' not sure anything has changed. In 1980, I was making $3.75 an hour as a 20 year old - I was doing Cable TV installs and felt SO ripped off. But, it was an entry level job, and I had moved on in 16 months!

YOU are in a different league, when you finish that degree you can move on and accomplish something. Try not to focus on today -this is temporary and you will soon be able to move on and never look back.

As for my assertion that the young are worthless - do you REALLY think that someone doing what YOU are doing is included in that assessment?
