    My favorite is when they’re like “I’m an EMT and I only make $18 an hour! It’s not fair they get more!” Like yes, YOU ARE BEING UNDERPAID. Demand more for your work (collectively), don’t bring others down for the sake of your overlords.

      Yep. Just because you’re underpaid, doesn’t mean others shouldn’t get paid more because it’s more than what you make. You are underpaid, you should earn more. They are also underpaid, they should also make more.

      But people get all hung up on someone at a “lesser” job making more than they do… So go out and get yours. What’s the problem?
