  1. $15/hr amounts to $30,000/yr, working fulltime. That's enough to get by on, even with a kid or two. But you're not going to have much of anything left over for the finer things. But everybody wants the finer things, without offering up the value required to pay for them. We all want gold-plated health care, but we don't want to pay for it. We all want 2 cars in the driveway and a tv set in every room. If wishes were fishes... If you want more than to just get by, I suggest you build your skill set to the point where it's WORTH more than a few dollars an hour. But to work a McDonald's crew for 8 years and NEVER get any farther up the ladder just says you're ign'ant, lazy, or possibly just not very bright. I worked at McDonald's in high school, and they were only too eager to train me up to take that next position higher than my own. I just had to sit in the break room, watch their videos, and apply myself, which as a 17-year-old, with far higher aspirations than a McDonald's career, I was unwilling to do. So I was a schmuck Grill Man for a couple of years, until the education I was paying for on the fly landed me the next rung on the ladder. Swallowed my pride and lived at home, which made it possible for me to afford the local state college out of my own pocket. Switched over to being the janitor and occasional grease monkey at a local Ford dealership, until I got my first job as a math tutor, after a few years of hard work in math.
