Well, I wasn’t planning on setting aside money for student loans. Some of you guys are really spoiled. Some of you are too high or want things handed to you. I unfortunately don’t get things handed to me - especially in this case money. and yes, I DO VOLUNTEER WORK - OFTEN. BUT VOLUNTEER WORK DOESN’T PAY, AND I WILL STILL CONTINUE VOLUNTEERING. I dont see anything wrong with fast food restaurant employment. Obviously you most likely are there anyways ordering something.

And about appreciating money: I don’t see any reason why making $7.50 an hour is not appreciating money! That is higher than minimum wage! Some people don’t even make that to support their families. Do you know how many people are on poverty down here in the Southwestern region of the U.S. and in several other urban locations in the U.S.? I don’t know what community you are speaking of, but in my inner-city community, $7.50 is a “little more than decent wage.”
The messages that I am receiving is that working in fast food is very degrading. I don’t think so - but maybe it is! But at least I will learn what hard work means - and not everything being handed to you all the time!
