Yet they left home cause they didn’t want to max out at $17.00 dollars an hour.
Migration happens.
Yeah, it does. But if they thought they were stuck at $17/hr when PROOF, Applied Materials, etc have banners outside their businesses 24/7 saying "we're hiring", and they pay more than $17/hr to start (with benefits), I'm going to guess that what you're assuming the reason was maybe ain't correct. Super One has similar signs, and they're paying almost the same to start, again with benefits, if you can manage to bag groceries and retrieve carts from the parking lot.
That's starting wage - not maxed out.
Maybe they leave because after growing up watching an entertainment industry and popular culture tell them guns aren't cool, if you aren't urban than you're a loser, cowboys and farmers and loggers and miners are dorks, etc., then they migrate.
I can imagine their surprise when they discover the utopia entertainment and culture vultures sold them ain't all it was sold as being. Just like our transplants from the coast areas of Washington, Oregon, and California discovered that the same bill of goods they were sold wasn't quite what it was supposed to be.
But you're right: if they've finished an apprenticeship somewhere else and are still there snivelling about how bad it is where they are now instead of moving back to Montana or somewhere else with a journeyman ticket in their pocket, that's all on them.
