Well, some people take PRIDE in their work. Get them a little lapel pin, say thank you, say something about the quality of their work in front of others.
This has always crossed my mind. I have had some friends who never went to college. They work minimum wage jobs like at Mcdonalds or at a grocery store. They often times complain and gripe about their job and about how they aren't making enough money and in my mind I think "well then you should have gone to college and you might be a lot hapier" It just bugs me and then I've had people in those jobs who have told me that college can't be anywhere near as hard as working at a grocery store, mcdonals, etc. it just really grinds my gears when people complain about their minimum wage jobs when they had the choice to go to college and try to make the best of life. I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way or not. I am not talking about people who do construction, or work in mines, or dangerous jobs like that. I am talking about the people that work these so called "hard" jobs at fast food chains, stores, etc.
Wow, what a bunch of crap. Neither my husband nor I have a college degree. We both have pretty good jobs. A friend's son has 2 degrees, works at a game store and lives in her basement.
FYI - if you're going to start a thread about how people who don't go to college are in loser jobs, you might want to make sure you can spell. Just saying.
I didn't go to college and had a great job with a company that I would have made a terrific "for life" career if I hadn't left work to be a SAHM. I'm sure it's harder to do now but it's not college that changed it's the job base. The jobs you used to be able to get, and work your way up from, don't exist. I always thought I'd go back to that job, or something similar, when my kids grew up but alas...no job for me.
I often thni that its important to start makig choice early in life such as takign education seriously and having has partime jobs since 10 help me there. I sw what i did want to end up being. But that still does mean everyone shoud, go to college but their are other choices to live a satisfying life of quality.I thnik ne of the most true saying i ever heard is that; gonna lnever did nothing.
