[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1663226, member: 17956"] Just some thoughts: I worked my way through college, and paid for college as I went (‘89-93). Started at $4.75 and left at $7.50. Worked 40 hours a week. Rode a few colts and did a little farrier work on the side. I honestly don’t know how high a wage would have to be, to accomplish that feet today. Second thought.....A really good acquaintance of mine makes $45,000 per year and stops. Dead in his tracks stops. His wife draws disability, and they get the works in handouts. He says he can’t afford to make anymore, because he will lose his handouts. Third thought.....If the guy above is making $45,000 and getting the works, somebody working for less is getting them to. To me that means McDonald’s and Walmart have subsidized labor, with the government picking up the bill. To answer the question, how much I’d work for, I don’t really know. Before I seen my kids do without, I’d probably work for almost nothing. [/QUOTE]
