A couple of months ago, I heard some congressman being interviewed on a local talk show, his point was that Walmart did not pay their employees enough. I thought to myself no one is sticking a gun at any employee at Walmart to make them stay. If they want more money they are certainly welcome to go look for a better job or get more education so they can get more money.
back in 1996 I left the ministry in Iowa to move back to California. I began working at Staples office supply because we had at district manager going to our church and he got me the job. I was making $ 8.20 an hour. After about 6 months I realized that if I stayed at Staples I would be struggling financially for the rest of my life. I begin to pray and ask God for a better job. There was someone who worked at Boeing aircraft company at our church. I asked him what he did. He got me an interview and I got another job making well over 3 times when I was making at staples. The point is I didn't just gripe about not making enough money and begging for more, I did something about it and used my education and life experience to get a better job and it paid off God blessed my efforts. I didn't just get the job because I had a friend in the field but I had the basic qualifications and the desire to learn a new job.I stayed at that job for 5 and a half years and became very successful in the field technical writing something I had never done before.
