Don't forget that an E-1 is only an E-1 for a short amount of time, and that military advancement, unlike the hypothetical 'burger flipper' in the 'exercise', is based on length of service, especially in the early years. So if you're "making E-1 wages" you only do it for a short amount of time, whereas if you're flipping burgers, you're sort of stuck there.
