If you "work your ass off" at $7 an hour your entire life, you're an idiot. Agree completely with GWBs statement above about work and actually working to better yourself.
Its easy to get complacent, and for a lot of people, that $7/hr is better than where they were before, but they don't want to do any more legwork to get a better job/education/etc, so therefore they get stuck where they are at.
I understand this completely as I still need to finish my MPA, but find it hard to go back to finish since I'm actually content at my job for the moment. I know that I eventually want to move on, and finishing my Masters will help tremendously in getting where I want to be at a different position which will net ~$30K year more.
ID above is right as well. Of course none of us start out on a level playing field, oh well, boo hoo. Its life deal with it, just do whatever you can to get as far as you possibly can and you should be just fine.
