The hostility is because it's ridiculously obvious that moving from a minimum-wage job to a run-of-the-mill professional job is going to net you an incredible percentage increase in salary, especially in the US where the minimum wage is a joke.
And where is the 'events happening now' in what I said? Job-hopping? Not exactly a new thing.

So... I can't be rhetorical to call out bad behaviour, but it's okay for you to do so. Nice work.

- vacri 9y agoSince when is an $8/hour professional job 'run-of-the-mill'? Are you seriously saying that that is a typical example of a professional?
- justadeveloper2 9y agoIt was a dumb example, that's all. In 2005, I went from being a state employee to a contractor and doubled my pay that year. Is that relevant, though?
