So I said lets work something out full time. His response I get 65.00 per hour and I don’t work Fridays. I sat back held my words and went about my business. Building and remodeling business doesn’t pay that kind of money and to say I don’t work Fridays. Guess what not with me period. The point is and this is a huge part of what’s happening now the ENTILTEMENT GENERATION. Those are the facts. When I was young I was thrilled to have a job taught you about responsibilities, maturity etc not how much are you paying me?

He very well be making $65 an hour as a subcontractor. Guy I know was making that kind of money making and installing custom cabinets. He wasn't working for someone else though. Ended up walking because he didn't want to work six days a week, ten plus hours a day. Those who some consider entitled really just want decent pay, enough to afford a home and health care for their families, and some time to spend with their families. Anything less, they don't want it and I can't say I blame them.
