My father worked for a union in NE Jersey, after 20 years and putting himself through community college he reached six figures recently…..
…..enough to finally live okay back home.
We grew up poor.
I move to the south and get offered a 'Corporate' position for an 'unnamed' Insurance company.
When I asked about salary they stuttered and said “Well, starting wage is $13/hr”
A 'corporate' position pays less than my little sister back home working at a Diner in Kearny…
I literally started a personal investment holding company from the ground up and am a partner in a third party claims firm.
This country is F***ED.
We need Operation Dixie 2.0
