I don't really see where you're getting this? I mean the exact opposite. If you're given a higher wage, you have MORE opportunities, not less.
My brother, for example, is a brilliant guy who is not an academic. My parents fought him over this, hired tutors, would have paid for college, whatever. But he didn't graduate…
exactly all of this.
Very this.
IMHO, we should do something (like, ahem, pay a living wage) to encourage more people to NOT go to college, so we don't have an overabundance of "educated" workers who WON'T do the things that, as you rightly say "keep our country running."
A better living wage for unskilled jobs would discourage people who…
Second this. Go hunt around online. You'll find people asking questions like, "is it possible to get pregnant even though we never had sex in person, only over Skype?"
People do not know how sex works.
nvm, figured out how to edit my post.
But the reality is, the aren't just for students or people who live with mom and dad.

What do you say to the people who ARE dependent on those jobs for life? Sorry? Sucks to be you?
I ask because I'm genuinely confused as to what you want the non-kids-at-home workers to DO exactly…
Oh well in that case, throw teh poorz to the wolves. ;)
Yes? (If you're working full time).
Wait. So you're saying, some people should just live with jobs that DON'T pay for rent/food/car payment/gas? What are these people supposed to do exactly? Maybe it's the flu talking but I don't get this at all. They should be all: Pick one - food or rent? I don't comprehend how that…
How are we defining "difficult"? My job isn't "difficult" but requires a doctorate. Should I make less?
I think they (grocery sackers?) should also make a living wage.
I'm so shocked that so many people are against this idea. What are you afraid of, exactly? Big Mac prices will go up? Why does everyone begrudge people earning more for unskilled jobs? We need unskilled jobs. We need people to make fast food, sell clothes, do our dry cleaning, stock grocery shelves etc. If everyone…
Actually, a court doesn't have to "agree" with his side. The evidentiary burden would be on her as an affirmative defense to prove that what she said was true.
Or handbags? Or makeup? Or jewelry? Or scarves? Or hats (which I know actually have sizes but, far as I know, you can be a larger body size and have a tiny head. or whatever).
syndication, syndication, syndication.
I'm not sure how to make this response apply to everyone above but anyway,
Unclear then why we're so concerned that fashion people can't afford high end purses. Few people can really afford the things they produce/create/sell or the services they themselves provide.
Fact: I work as an attorney in Los Angeles. On my salary, I could not afford me.
So, kinda the same thing?
ugh, same.
I have a couple of pairs of her basic shoes for work. They're cheap and they're just right. Right height, shape, size.
I, um, don't think this is a terrible idea?
Just one color and you can TAKE IT OFF for christssakes...
I have a lot of male friends and when I was single, I would have LOVED to be approached at a bar or something, but the whole thing was just awkward because people assumed I was the gf of one of the guys. =/
I suspect it's harder to quantify. It's easier to say, hey look at this kid! He's able to comprehend and do* the stuff that normally takes people 7 additional years of school to comprehend. Granted, I'm an English Lit kid so I'm guessing, but math and science seem to always build on themselves. You learn addition and…
