thanks for sharing the article
interesting to hear things from the service staff's perspective
I think twice now about being rude to service employees - e.g., walmart, amazon, etsy, etc.
The author's mom might have a point. I had two friends that worked in construction after highschool and didn't go to college for about 1 year or 2.
I'm sure the pay was like $50k a year or something which was like a fortune to a 18 yr old.
They went to college after doing that hard work everyday. One became a PhD in theoretical physics and another does something similar.
It's like both didn't mind going to college for ten years and not working and studying for 10 hour days in a library.
They never said so but I did wonder if maybe the construction job they got gave them an idea of how hard work and life can be and it's better to be reading in a library all day than to lift heavy beams.
