    It does. It also lifts all the turds.

    You know how to make them boats get lifted even quicker? Join the tide. Invest in yourself. Make yourself better.

      Are the “turds” referenced here actual people? Because that’s really all that matters.

      It’s up to employers who they employ. It’s not for you or I to decide what job or what person are suitable.

      But if your skilled enployees are switching to burger flipping because they can make the same money then you aren’t paying the new market rate.

        Water is wet. As for who decides - it’s normally the team members. I have been on both sides of the interview process; it’s a normal thing to do.

        I mean… Yes, but that’s a whole new topic altogether. What are those mythical employees that are switching their careers to burger flipping?

  In what way is working a more physically demanding job “advancing yourself”?

  Besides, I’d also argue that most customer facing jobs are just as demanding as most physical trade jobs. They just fuck you up mentally instead of physically.

  Not even degrees mean much anymore, a lot of job positions require one cause they can, not cause you’d actually benefit from that knowledge. Spending all that time and money to get a piece of paper can Aldo hardly be called "advancing yourself’.

    It’s not the physical part - which isn’t even all that great of a difference - but getting familiar with physics. Working your brain rather than your muscle. That’s an advance.

    There’s also a risk element - you fuck up on a powerline - you’re potentially dead. Fuck up a burger? You get yelled at.

      What’s your point, that nobody else deserves a living wage? Fuck off
