People see no point in working a crappy job for 40 hours per week when they're still likely to be homeless or sharing a one bedroom with ten other guys. Might as well panhandle and have more free time. Or take their chances and steal something they can flip, and make more money in five minutes than they would in a month working at Burger King. Hell, what's the point of schlepping to and from any job that only pays enough for you eat, sleep and have a few hours off for chores on the weekend?

Wow. Blue collar workers can make over 100k in this area, but sure throw in the towel and ask women to work and hand you their money. Jesus.[/quote]

+1.  There are numerous companies around the DC area which are more than willing to foot the bill to train young men (and women) in skilled trades that, if you apply yourself, can have you earning six figures and have the ability to buy a home and support a family.  But you need to be willing to show up to work.  On time.  Not high or drunk.  Willing to take direction.  Not become belligerent and claim you are "being disrespected" when your boss gives you feedback on job performance.  You know who is willing to do this?  Immigrants and their kids.  [/quote]
