an engineer. My friend is an engineer and it took him 5 years of college to get his degree. He only makes 45k per year.

I'm with you. What gets me is when you hear people talk about being anti-socialist so that lazy people won't get paid more or the same. That is bullsh-- I bet your friend owes a large college loan too.

Do you have any idea what a delivery driver, hairdresser or waitress actually makes? The hairdresser may be the exception however the delivery driver is generally making only minimum wage and waiters and waitresses sometimes are paid LESS than minimum wage because it is expected that they will be tipped. If they are lucky, after taxes a year's pay for them may only be about 25,000 dollars. Possibly even less as these are generally part time jobs and they are NOT guarenteed a 40 hour work week. Get a clue.

Great question, my friends and I have discussed this often. Have a PhDeducated friend, not making half of what our friend who sells tires, retail! does. The truth is that no one lives to be a delivery driver for life, a good hair dresser is hard to find and being a waitress is HARD work. (I was an awful waitress.) You have to consider the perks of a job as well...

45k per year and he probably has great benefits, vacation and holiday pay, sick pay, and as he gets experience he will move up the salary ladder. Not a bad deal, really.

Nothing, where do you live? I'd be a Pizza delivery guy for 45k/year! I suspect you don't know what you are talking about.
