Is $5/hour shameful?

It all starts with what their parents give them for work around the house. When the parents overpay they think this is a "normal" wage and that they "deserve" the same from anyone else. After college the same kids refuse to work for less than they want, living in the parent's basement. The President is a fink. |

1nickelmiracle Member since: Mar 5, 2013 Threads: 24 Posts: 623 | Bob Fifty sounds like a reasonable rate considering how difficult, dangerous the job clearing ice and snow off a roof is to accomplish. Your brother in law would have lost everything if that kid wound up paralyzed, so he should be considered lucky. |

It wasn't dangerous or difficult in the least. And gee, that's very PC of you to be all worried, but if it was dangerous and difficult he would have done it himself. And the kid didn't end up getting hurt at all! Amazing! I've probably fallen off of roofs half a dozen times, never even broke a finger. My dad painted houses for 50 years and he died of old age. It's a miracle he lived thru it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
