You guys notice that when going through job apps? Whenever I encounter the jobs that offer $11-15 an hour they've got 10 boxes they'd like their hires to check off with relevant years of experience, and once I hit upward of the $18+ jobs they just ask for a few things.
This scenario should be reversed in the industry. Why do these companies think they're worth working for when they hardly want to pay up for exceptional workers? Certainly not me applying, if I even could.
