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.

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.

Maybe they had entrepreneurial thoughts or college just wasn't for them. Maybe they got married early.
