negative, entry level just like working at the local supermarket as a bag boy or at the local McD's outside of management are meant to train one to interact with people...flipping burgers is not worth $15 an hour, it is a motivator for you to better your self. and yes, I flipped burgers while I was in school and managed to survive.Here we are squabbling about putting a few extra bucks in the pockets of the people who spend their entire shift on foot.
In any case, I agree that minimum wage jobs aren't meant for long term careers. But at the same time, I think if you work full time you should have a "livable" income. By livable, I mean something where you can reasonably afford to provide for yourself without depending on your parents, a spouse, or the government.
I'd like to think that everyone can become skilled in something more valuable, but my experience tells me otherwise. The problem with giving some people more money, is more irresponsibility. But I know that for some, its not a matter of refusing to improve - its just a mental disability of some kind or burned out from drugs. I'm torn on the whole thing really.
