Well, sure. But there are some people who don't have the option of
finishing school for one reason or another. And besides, we do need
people to fill this sort of job and others like it. If everyone finished
school who would pump gas, wait on tables, serve burgers, bag groceries,
etc. It's s whole segment of the work population who are simply paid as
little as can be gotten away with.
