 Lots of noise being made about minimum wages needing to be much higher . Trouble is , the minimum wage should not be the destination . The minimum wage is where you start. That is what you get as a kid . That is what you get when you do not have any skills . That is what you get when you have no knowledge, or experience . As time passes people learn , You start out with the basic stuff, can you show up on time every day ?  Can you show up every day ? Did you take a shower today (Your co workers will appreciate it)  Are you willing to learn , and able to take constructive criticism  ? Can you follow instructions , and make accurate measurements ?  As people master the basic skills ,and move on to more complex jobs their expanded skill set makes them a more valuable employee able to command a bigger salary . The kids just coming into the job market want a corner office and a 7 figure paycheck just because mommy told them they are special . Sorry slugger , turns out you have to work for it just like the rest of us, and nobody is going to pay you 95k a year to flip burgers part time with a surly attitude, poor attendance , poor hygiene , with a face full of hardware and tattoos .    

 I like that sign ! Can you order them through Graingers ? Or would McMaster Carr have them ?


 


                                            It's kinda nice when you can combine two hobbies !


                                                              Calvin nailed it !
