Not quite that old, I started in the non military workforce in 1984 minimum wage was 3.35 an hour (equal to $7.50 in 2013, so I had a quarter an hour advantage over fed minimum) did that for 6 months and decided, fuck this, started working in custom metal fabrication for a little more than double the minimum wage, doubled again over the next 18 months, and received regular pay increases every 6 months after.

Point is I took the action necessary to put myself in a better position, I obtained a better and broader skill base, and my income has gone up consistently since. What I did not do is put zero effort into making myself better and whine that I should be paid more "just because"
