Big Mac in Denmark

[Canon Shooter]

My first pay check is going to be given to me on Thursday. I've already started, and hourly wage is $18.75 an hour. I'm 19.

Good for you, and good luck to you, young man!

I've only had four jobs in my lifetime.

The first one was at McDonalds as a teenager. I started off in the kitchen, but then got stuck on the register. I guess because I was so handsome and spoke proper English.

Then I went away for some time. Which was technically a job, but I didn't really think of it that way.

Then I came back and didn't really have the same mindset to deal with the public.

So I got a job climbing. Which I thoroughly enjoyed because I liked to do it anyway on my own time.

Then I finished up my degrees and ended up going into a field that wasn't even relevant in any way to the degrees and did that for the next 25 or so years. Still am, kind of, just not out in the field any more.

But I was making well over 20 Federal Reserve Notes an hour thirty years ago.

Anyway. The point of spewing all of that is that I really can't understand how people can expect to get paid man's work wages for kids work at a fast food joint or whatever. Especially when so many of them can't even make change for a FRN without a calculator.

For some, yes. That's my ideal vacation spot.

I thought so.
