Tough guy.

Millions of people work in those conditions everyday in this country.

You're not exceptional just because you can't get a better, more comfortable job.

I never wanted a job.

I run my own business.

We have a base pay of $18....many walk off the job.

BTW.....I am female.

Yeah, I don't think people understand this. I also went to a school like Georgetown Day School. The highest individual GPA in our class was a 3.8. We had teachers that give out 1 or 2 A's a year and we did not use a weighted GPA (4.0 is the highest possible).

I have no idea if Gtown Day School handicaps their GPA in the same way (in this inflated 5.0 world), but Colleges understand that when they draw from these schools, they are drawing from a pool of students that are extremely well prepared to succeed in a college environment.

Everyone on CD is a business owner. Comes with the login I guess.

Anyway, I wouldn't work in extreme conditions for 18 an hour either.

I think starting out at $18 is fair.

It is hard work......but, this middle aged women can do it.

Well you just go right ahead. Have fun.

Okay-

That makes sense then. I would assume, given that, they had high SAT scores as well, which would be necessary for admission to an Ivy League school.

You complain way to much to be a successful business owner. Female or not.
