Used to make $30 an hour in a specialized part time field.I was able to help my kids -(I was a single mom) and buy a house. Forced out before vesting through an industry-wide 'gray list'. Lost the house, etc..

Now working 15 hrs. per week for the princely sum of 7.50 because that's what's out there. I'm in my 70's and this is "what it is" -to quote a previous poster.

Seen enough smug to know smug, I might add.
