For that, you get 5 bucks an hour and the hope that if you do it for 10 or 15 years straight you may move far enough up the seniority chain to get to play a round of golf there.

Most people do it one year and vow never to work there again. Of course, if you stick it out long enough, you can get one of the easy jobs like being a marshal.
