I would have been excited as fuck to work for $15 an hour as kid.
I know of plenty of people back in my home town in their 20s who would be thrilled to make $15/hr now. That's decent money in cheap areas.
My experience as well. I have many old friends who never left my home town and they would be happy or are happy with those wages.
My dad will sometimes get on a kick and talk about jobs he sees in the newspaper. Paying 12$ an hour and asking for some sort of a degree and 2+years experience.
Cost of living matters of course but one can sometimes stick around in their parents house or room up with friends while they save to get themselves ahead... assuming they aren't out buying stupid shit or smoking it away.
