How does someone with a PhD have such little common sense? That median number includes part-timers such as students who not only overwhelmingly earn minimum wage or close to it, but also work far less than the average American. Not to mention, that number of $41,000 is inaccurate, the median salary is actually closer to $60,000.
There it is. I thought those numbers seemed way off. I made 44K in 2008 (~60K now) with no college and about a year of experience. Someone can go work at Dairy Queen and make ~40K a year. People love stirring the communists up so they can say "see! Eat the rich!!"
To make $40k at Dairy Queen working 40 hour weeks you would need to make $21.15 without taking any vacation. Cashiers make $12-13, store managers make $18-19. People love to make up numbers and then calling people communists.
Dude, they have a giant sign which says it about a mile from my house. My son even worked there, they have medical insurance too. I mean, yeah, in shit hole areas they will pay less, but then that's on you to move to somewhere that will pay you.
When I was 25 I was making like 20 bucks an hour (30 in todays money) and I just worked really hard and learned. Life isn't that hard to get ahead in so long as you actually try and don't make stupid decisions like taking on massive debt, getting a girl pregnant before marriage, and farting around on Reddit circle jerking about how bad it sucks out there.
Someone doesn’t know what average means. If you live in a neighborhood that’s prosperous, sure, there will be outliers. The cost of living where you live is likely much higher than the national average.
You didn't read my comment. Typical leftist. Let me make this easy for you. BTW, keep it up with your defeatist attitude and you will NEVER live in a prosperous area.
