In the interview I chose my girlfriend's neighbor. Hector is of Mexican descent and is here because the manufacturing camps in Meigs County hire Mexican workers with work permits. Hector started doing this, then he became the boss about five years ago and got his green card and now he's American and speaks English very well. He explained to me that in Mexico there is no age at which one can start working, so there are kids who work for six to ten years to help support his needy family. He also stated that women usually do not work, they just have to loudly go to the village markets and get goods for their family and raise many children there. I asked about minimum wage and he laughed and said that some teenagers and working men are lucky to make a dollar an hour, but he said that people who are lucky enough to be able to do what he has to do make the their family very important money. He said when he first started coming to America to work he was picked as a lottery pick because there are so many jobs for small positions that he and his whole family were dirt poor, but now he said his family is the most rich in the village. He said he also has to move his entire immediate family to America. The first question I asked was: "In Mexico, how old are postmen when they get there for their first job"? He said that in his village it all depended on how needy the family members were. He said most families in his village have the same income, so sons found work when they were very young, aged six to ten. I was curious, so I asked "if they work, right? ... mid-paper ... as it went from $6.50 an hour to $19.00 an hour to overlook what it once was. I learned from this paper exactly how hard has it been for people outside of America because we have all the opportunities to become something great without having to do much because he has to go to school and we have all kinds of government funding to go to college and in no other country in the world has this. Americans also have the ability to make all kinds of money in this field of study and in Mexico if you are not born with money you will not have it unless something major happens in America we have unions that fight for what we deserve as workers and the benefits we receive Americans may not like each other sometimes but we all agree that you should receive all the benefits and money worthy of the work you do.
