[QUOTE="shurur, post: 16825759, member: 113850"] Tezz, You are assuming a lot about the folks at the registers. When the economy dies, it is really about who you know that keeps you in work. We don't live in a real meritocracy. I was a cashier at HD making $8.03 and driving 61 miles one way. Prior to that I was an IC design engineer. Folks who got lucky in 2008 who want to believe in the lie of a meritocracy will chime in and say I was a lousy engineer. 10 patents and two stolen ideas, one from a competitor right off the datasheet (after others said my idea was not unique) and another by my own boss says different I got asked back in 2015 for $100k, but was too sour about it all by then..it was also only a hired gun one year contract. I am finally teaching HS freshman math after substituting since 2015, and trying to get in the club. This is America; you can't know who is serving you at the register. [/QUOTE]
