What's wrong with a Business degree from a 4 year local state / community school that does not require you having a "Mountain of Debt" ?
Students should stay out of debt and choose their careers better. It is very possible, millions of us have done it.
Even community colleges have tuition. A lot of people working at minimum wage jobs have two jobs, meaning their time is also seriously restricted. It's a vicious circle.

Yep, making a good life for yourself isn't always easy. We should just cut to the chase and legislate that nobody has to work hard to get anything in life. I had to work pretty hard myself and every day I'm thankful and I remember what I had to go through to make myself a better person...its a vicious circle of trying to improve my situation all the time.

College is not for everyone. We need people to be our plumbers, painters and auto mechanics.
Who cares if they want a better wage? If I was earning $7 an hour in New York and saw my employer make millions by the minute I'd want a piece of the pie too! Do you really want a country where there are islands of extreme wealth amongst a sea of poverty? If so, I suggest you go to Colombia or Venezuela
Better that McDonalds shares a bit of its wealth than those workers break in to your house in the middle of night to make extra money

You just posted a few threads back that a lot of people working there are college graduates that can't find jobs.
Now it's a lot of people working 2 min wage jobs that can't go go college.
Where are your stats coming from ? Provide proof of the demographics of fast food workers please ?
You're so obviously oblivious to what owning or running a business entails, it's laughable.
Tell you what - go buy a McDonald's franchise, run it for three years, and then come back and tell us about all the millions you make, and how you pay your employees $15/hour.
No, you won't do that. Not only because you can't, but because you know that your idealistic bubble would be burst. Deep down, you know how insane the crap you spout is, but you can't bring yourself to admit it because it doesn't fit your utopian dream world ideal. Must be nice to have the luxury of not having to face reality.
I'm still waiting for that one career burger flipping poster to come kicking the door down into this thread with more excuses of how everything is unfair and impossible, before somehow twisting the thread into a discussion of zoning laws and how he can't buy the Hobbit Home of his dreams.
You have been brainwashed by the rich. Why don't you send a contribution to the "Save the Rich" charity? Honestly $7.25 or $5 is much of a muchness. What type of life is someone going to have on that wage? And before you give me the tired old "well they should go to school" line, I hope you realise many people earning that wage are college graduates who can't find a job in their chosen career due to the economy.
Could you point me to the part where you answered my question?
So then I would assume that all the jobs out there that pay $15 an hour now should have their wages increased as well? Or are they suggesting that people making 15 dollars an hour now should make the same as position that anyone can do?
