It's 5 something everywhere. In other words, no matter where you live, they have to pay you AT LEAST that amount. Now, other employers can raise it if they want.


Neway...Here's my spin on it. When I was in between jobs--by choice for the most part--I took time to decide what it was I wanted to do. Now, I knew that based on my education level and experience, I could easily make over 25 dollars an hour. But, what if I couldn't find any job openings that met that criteria? Should I just sit there and starve? That's for the job seeker to decide. Like Mim says, I could have worked anywhere, even Macdonalds just to put food on the table. Pride is a factor there. But, ultimately, I think it's better to get dirty than starve.

I still fill that EVERYONE should attempt to go to college if they can.
