There was a post I saw of some twitter thing where I guy was complaining burger flippers wanted wages like him deliver packages and they don't deserve that kind of skilled wage??? Burger flippers are on a ladder that leads to chef. Not sure where package delivery leads. Really if a person goes for skilled or unskilled the real thing to me is no one should really make more than 10 times someone else. Especially when the highest paid are not necessarily very skilled anyway.
