No I don't.
Would you make the same argument for a young enlisted who works 24/7 for 8 months straight while deployed? What do you think the hourly wage works out tonin that circumstance?
In all the loans I've ever applied for I've never had to write down my hourly wage. I hear some of those car commercials spouting off about their financing if you "have a steady job and make at least $250 per week", but again I've not personally heard the commercial say instead " ....if you make $8 per hour"
Many jobs just don't equate to the money per hour ideal. Another that I see regularly - Real Estate. Have a few slow months of no sales and how do you think that figure gets skewed?
GLA pay is low. There is no need to try and dramatized the fact with inaccurate comparisons in my opinion.
