1. Yeah, it's called WORK. You get paid for it because it's hard. Know what's harder still?

You know what's harder still?

Unemployment.

It seems that there are some here in America on a crusade against any company offering entry level jobs. All such corporations are apparently evil, until they say fuck it and outsource the jobs, at which point we call them evil for doing that. A couple weeks ago someone posted a video of some auto worker crying about how physically demanding it was to build cars and how he just couldn't handle it. I sympathize, I really do, but that doesn't make the car company evil or the job bad. There are lots of jobs that suck. Most, actually.

So... if Amazon is too hard look for something else. You can try lawn care or ditch digging, but having done that myself I can tell you that it is fucking brutal. You could try shining shoes, but there's an art to it you would need to learn, and I suspect that it's probably physically demanding as well. Hell, from what I have seen even being a home maker is pretty tough if you treat it as a job.
