I hear ya on that. I dont make much more. I think Im going to give up on trying to go "fast" until I find a much better paying job. Good luck though. Seems everyone wants a hard worker , but only wants to pay $8.50-$11.00hr. 
Basically you need to get into a union trade or go to school for something.

You can have my job, I plan to retire in the near future. Currently I sell drugs. 
Also, have you considered becoming a pimp?

If you want to make more than general grunt labor you need to get a job that requires some skill. Changing tires on a car your never going to make much its not a highly skilled job. Get into one of the construction unions or if your good with people you can make some pretty good money in sales depending on what you sell. Otherwise go to college and get a degree.
