Mark some of us dont have the money or parental support for school and are usually dropped into those types of jobs (tech support/waiter/ect.). Trust me it is very hard to stay motivated at a job like that, I did that work for quite a while. $11/hour just doesnt get me up in morning ready to listen to people put themselves on a pedestal all day.

Thanks for the comment, Mark. Your making a good point, too. A lot of times we seem to expect that somebody else should make things better for us. If anybody’s out there waiting for that to happen, don’t hold your breath! Even with winning the lottery, you still have to get off your butt and go buy a ticket…

Megan - Your employer can’t fire YOU fast enough. Maybe if you actually DID the job, instead of complaining about it, you would get paid well. If you don’t like the work, get an education, start your own business, and find out what it’s like to give money to employees like you.

Maybe you should think about the fact that the job itself sucks, how would you like to listen to complaints non- stop on the phone 8 hours a day 5 days a week? You might not be so enthusiastic either, especially getting paid crap as well!

[...] I found an article at by Anne at The Golden Pencil, We Get Paid What We Believe We’re Worth, that is worth taking a look at. I’ve often wondered why writing jobs seem to be relatively low-paying. My suspicion about low-paying jobs is similar to my feeling about service and tech support: we tend to get what we’re willing to put up with. [...]
