I'll say the same thing I tell my students. If you do not create DEMAND for yourself, you just get lumped in with the rest of the SUPPLY of low skill labor. Doing physically difficult work does not make you indispensable.

it is very true words. I have been at my job for 21 years, and I am the only one at my job that does it. I carved myself a niche. if I were to ever leave, I have a large number of clients I have worked with over the years that I would have a job if i needed it.

This completely ignores the laws of supply and demand. The demand for low wage employees is far greater than the supply of workers willing to work for low wages. If free market principals apply to anything they must apply to everything. There are only so many people willing to work for the wages currently offered at such places as Waffle House...the supply of such people is badly out of equilibrium with the demand for such people. What fast food and low wage employers are experiencing is the free market and its laws of supply and demand doing what the free market and its laws of supply and demand will do if left unfettered. Why anyone has an issue with it is beyond me but if you think its a bad idea for supply and demand to reach equilibrium I do not know what to tell you....
