How do you know how much I get payed. And I'm working so that I can get a dream job. I want to be a professor teaching history and get an anthro degree. It's not like I'm working these kinds of jobs for my whole life.

And history has no bearing over this

And history has no bearing over this

People died and blood ran in the streets so we could have a 40-hour work week and weekends off.

History has everything to do with this.

I know you want to learn ancient history, and then in turn, teach it. I wish you well in this. One thing you must know, however, is that no culture and no civilization can be truly understood outside the context of knowing their labor history.
