You do know that you need that hotel maid, ditch digger and garbage man.

You are correct that we need someone to perform these unskilled tasks. What should the prevailing wage be for them?

Those operators that keep the chemical plants running aren't earning less than you.

I don't know nor do I care what they earn. What little I know about the job tells me that the skill level required is somewhere north of that of maids, ditch diggers and garbage men though.

Well, you should know.

Your mind really seems to work in a very childlike manner. Perhaps having a parental figure make the more critical choices for you is best in your particular situation.

It all depends on where you've set your bar and your perception of mediocrity.

By definition, the bar is set low to be considered mediocre. Only a union minion would think there is some sort of relativity there. Kind of like letting the slowest kid set the pace for the entire class.
