Regardless what others have stated, $15/hr is a pretty good wage in today's business atmosphere. We are paying as little as $10/hr to our new hires at a major corporation, and you need at least a 2 year tech degree to be eligible. What we have that you don't, is the possibility of getting out the trenches. It's a lot nicer setting at a desk wih A/C making $50K+ "playing" with a computer and answering the phone. What many do not realize that this is going to be increasingly hard to do, because significant numbers of these jobs are going overseas. So what you have to offer is, a decent paying job, which requires some skills and is coupled with a lot of hard, dirty work. Not too many kids today are interested in that kind of a job. The good ones intend to use wrenches as a stepping stone, not as career.
