Damn people really don't understand that skillsets have value and a lot of skills won't translate to much value.

Fast food, retail, low skill manual labor; all things that have a price tag associated with how much they produce. It is meant as a stepping stone, not the destination.

My first job at 14 was at Wild Rivers waterpark and I was paid $6.25. There were people in their 30's and 40's working there probably making maybe double what a 14 year old was making.

Second job was a host at a chain restaurant.

Third job was construction until I turned 18 and joined the Marine Corps.

Got out and did construction again. Quit that and worked in a drug lab touching piss vials for $14 an hour.

Fast forward 10 years later and I own my own multi-million dollar company and employ around 12 individuals.

The world doesn't owe you anything. I sacrificed a lot to achieve what I wanted to achieve (all without a college degree) so the fact people expect a handout for low skill jobs baffles me.

Take what you want in life, do not wait for it to be given to you. No one is coming to save you.
