If you guys are unemployed or working for 7.45/hour it is your own fault. I met with a kid last week (not under the best of circumstances) who is 19 and waits tables (lunch only) at a local greek restaurant and makes $100-$150 a day during the week and made $250 on Sunday. Even in the south, you should be able to easily get a job on a framing crew for $15/hour. I got two college kids working for me running errands and pay them $10/hour and $.40/per mile. I pay a process server $35/ a pop to hand deliver papers.... get off the video games or whatever and go outside and get a job.
