Would you work for 5 dollars an hour if you had no money and were desperate? (illegal, security)

I bring this up because I believe a good amount of people would do something else, even illegal to try to make money instead.

You know, the belief that your above a certain wage, even if you need the money.

What would you do?

For those of us who have worked for less than $5 per hour, it's no big deal. Wouldn't want to do it, but would if we had to.

And THAT is the difference between those who succeed and those who don't. It's the willingness to do what has to be done, rather than sit and make excuses.

I agree of course I would work...some money is better than no money.

Good post

Of course I would work! Working for $5 is not undignified. Refusing to work for $5/hr because you think a decent job is beneath you, even when your circumstances are desperate, THAT is undignified.

I agree, I'm just saying I think a lot more people then you think would rather do something illegal because they feel the job is beneath them.

These are the kind of people in "Omaha Rocks" post here that he refers to.

Ive known so many people over the years who have lost there job & refused to take a job that doesnt pay what they think there worth

Five dollars an hour is $850 a month, and I'm on social security and I'm living on that now. But I'd hate to have to work for it.
