I just find it kind of sad that university has become what it is. You go in to debt, both financial and time, and the great expectation is a job at the end. When the job doesn't happen I find our typical fallback positions highly annoying....it's the 1%, it's the conservatives, it's nepotism, it's minimum wage, it's tax free savings accounts, etc. There is zero discussion of life without a job.
Anyway, university is a mistake for most people but that's a different topic.
Seattle minimum wage increase isn't too good yet. Most restaurant job losses since 2009 while Washington state has added restaurant jobs as has the country in general. The one success story is a restaurant that immediately jumped to $15 and hour, raised prices, discouraged tipping and now employees are better off. That's a head scratcher.
