Its not like your pay went down as you gained seniority bud...you know what you were getting yourself into, and if you have a family to think about, you should have thought about a different gig if its SO hard. So people do love the job and KNEW what they were about to be paid, dont justify your your brilliant decision or bash a young kid cause all you need is money. We're not going to get raises because people feel bad you're carrying extra baggage.
