What is the average wage for work like this in Boston?
 What's the average wage for a McDonald's employee on
Boston area?  I know it sounds wierd but you cna learn
a lot(cost of living, etc) about an area from what a
fast food restrnt. eployee makes.  For instance, in
northern Maine the wage starts at 5.75/hr, here in
middlebury it is 7.25/hr, and I have seen it as high
as 12/hr starting in the cities.
