Work is work. You shouldn't get paid less to do the same job based strictly on age and what you do with the money (be it rent/tuition/spending) should be irrelevant... you get paid for the job you do not for what you do with the money after you earn it.

I guess the flip side of that would be, would you rather have a job that pays 10 bucks an hour over no job at 15 bucks an hour?
Because that is what has happened for many, at least in the serving industry.
