It's nice that they had the resources to do that, and family to let them 
stay for free on their land. I've read so many stories about people going 
from 6-figure salaries to  "survival jobs" earming $12/hour. Here $12/hour 
is considered a good job. Hundreds of applicants fight for every minumum 
wage job (that's not the recession; it's been that way for many years here). 
I put in three applications last year to work for minimum wage at the Dollar 
Bazaar, and never even got an interview. People shouldn't move to the 
country if they need a job...there aren't enough for the people already 
here.
