I worked in fast food for seven years. I was making $70k a year at the damn phone company, and still worked fast food at the phone company. Because it was fun - and a great way to meet chicks. In fact, that's exactly how I met my wife.

Americans seem to think that they are due something because they are Americans. Everyone starts at the bottom. And when you get knocked off your horse, you start back at the bottom.
