      Unfortunate, but they exist everywhere. Almost every company I know out here in STL pays starting 20 for even unskilled positions. I went first responder though and the Illinois side of STL has a premium rate on that anyway. Highest average of the whole state and desperate for hires.

      I find office work mind numbing, disgusting in culture, and generally unsatisfying at the end of the day both philosophically and, as a powerlifter, physically.
