Dignity
What would you do for a buck? Over the summer I drove home past a guy in a pizza costume. He's holding a sign extolling the virtues of Pizza Street in 100 degree weather. The question arises, what pay grade would be required for me to take that job?
How about this pot pressing job?
The easy answer is I would never take such jobs, but life isn't easy. If these positions were the only thing available, perhaps it's not so bad. Oddly enough, the degrading nature of these jobs is what brings the pay grade down rather than up. The people willing to do these jobs will either accept a 6 figure salary or minimum wage with very little between.

Where do you find this stuff? Sad thing is, I couldn't help but think-why are people picking up the pots instead of a machine? Weird.
