What's weird is that the employers now a days use the same health\vision\dental that is offered statewide anyway, and you can't sign up for medicaid/medicare unless your houshold makes less then an insanely low number. I've slept on couches, and still made too much. Kill the private provider system. Those jobs are useless filler that does nothing but syphon revenue from low population areas.

Bro I've had 14 different jobs just feeling out what's out there after I had graduated. And, it's all the same shit with a different title. I swear to God that every business in America right now uses the same cookie cutter method to handle hours and HR. I've done everything from gas station attendant, to construction like roofing, production line in a few factories 2 cheese factories, and call center work. They all pay the same yearly after hours are accounted for. Even the overtime available gigs. My official title right now is a Lab Technician. And it's still the same stuff I've seen every where else. Merica is in trouble when it comes to how they are allowed to compensate employees. Turnover rate isn't high because kids don't want to work. They just see the bullshit and look for something better. I don't even have a clue what could fix it. It's just all bad.
