Yes there is. You "agree" to work for that amount of money because if you don't, you won't get the job. And then that poor sap will have jackasses like you bitching for them to get off their "lazy ass" and get a job.

And if they had done well in high school or learned a trade, they just wouldn't be in that situation, now would they?

You agree to work for a certain wage. If you are underpaid, you have a valid complaint for the labor department.

If you consider unemployment to be welfare, I know of a whole lot more than that. Guys with MBAs (ex husband for one), mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, PhDs in chemistry, network administrators, bankers. The ranks of the unemployed are most definitely not limited to the uneducated.

It's better to be working and "underpaid" than sitting around collecting tax payer's money because you feel you're "worth" more money. Sure, I'd love to be making more than I am and I feel like I deserve it, but that doesn't mean I'd quit my job because I feel "underpaid."

In many people's minds it is all or nothing.
It's like we can't discuss inequality without retorts that really go without saying.
