Minimum wage jobs are a stepping stone not a life long career either. You see many older people working minimum wage jobs because they want to keep active or maybe supplement their SS checks. The kids working the jobs should be educating themselves while working them. And dont say they cant afford further education. There are many grants out there to assist. And what about the ones who have 5 kids, cant afford them, never should have had them and are looking for you and me to support them. Thats the issue. Unemployment used to require you show proof that you are looking or your benefits were cut off. Ga. and Im sure several other states will cut off benefits permanently for anyone convicted of a drug violation. So, bottom line. Get off your butt, crawl out of mommys house and get a job. Any job. Have some pride in yourself!!

Very, VERY well said!
