People who argue that those who “flip burgers” do not deserve a liveable wage while they try to put themselves in the martyr role by proclaiming “well, I have kids and I’m earning a degree so I deserve better pay!” are missing the point entirely. Do they not think the “burger flippers” have families too? Do they not think that the people working at Dunkin Donuts are trying to finish their education? The answer is, of course, no. How could they see beyond their own nose when their head is so far up their ass. Those who work in a “less desired” job are not inferior to those working as EMTs or lawyers. They serve a purpose as you or I do. To assume otherwise is not only ignorant, it’s poisonous and classist.
