Bill,
I do not make much, but its twice what most jobs here pay (everything here
is $8 an hour!), and many of those shit $8 an hour jobs here are worked by
college grads, many with masters degrees, because there simply are no
decent jobs here. I am making just enough to survive, but before I made
less than I needed to survive. At least I'm not in poverty anymore.
Today, few college grads in the USA will have the opportunity to make even
the 'low' pay teachers get. Our economy has been systematically destroyed.
