gmichael Audioholic Spartan Mar 14, 2007 #12 My wife is from the Philippines. She has a 4 year degree and was working 6 days a week at a decent college. She made just over 20 US$ per week. That was back in 2000. Now she complains about only making $13/hr here. And rightfully so.

There are times I wish that I could do more for my family, but that doesn't include your basic everyday needs.

mike c Audioholic Warlord Mar 14, 2007 #15 you guys make more an hour than we do per day. but I must say the cost of living over there is much higher. (or maybe the standards are higher)

I agree,$13 an hour isnt enough for a 4 yr degree ,the gap between the upper class & regular folk widens daily in the USA,the middle class are just about out of the picture for good.
