I'm 17,and I already got a job right now with good ass pay. I make well more than minimum wage cause I get paid commision and I'm good at what I do,but I want a new job. I'm getting tired of this. I'm an independent contractor and work for an unorganized boss. Never get my pay on time. And I refuse to work hrly and get paid minimum wage,and I refuse to flip burgers. Why do they make it so hard for us to get job under 18. Fuck...I can't be dealing with chump change like the rest of these people. Ima hafto stick with this bullshit til I hit 18 in july. Shit sucks!!!

5 dollars and 30 cents??? What the fuck is minimum wage where you live? it's 6.75 in new york

It's 5 something everywhere. In other words, no matter where you live, they have to pay you AT LEAST that amount. Now, other employers can raise it if they want.


Neway...Here's my spin on it. When I was in between jobs--by choice for the most part--I took time to decide what it was I wanted to do. Now, I knew that based on my education level and experience, I could easily make over 25 dollars an hour. But, what if I couldn't find any job openings that met that criteria? Should I just sit there and starve? That's for the job seeker to decide. Like Mim says, I could have worked anywhere, even Macdonalds just to put food on the table. Pride is a factor there. But, ultimately, I think it's better to get dirty than starve.

I still fill that EVERYONE should attempt to go to college if they can.

Shits 7 something in Cali...

boutta go up to 8 in January.

But thats tha problem. I got a good paying job that everyone wants, but it's getting boring for me, which is slimming my money down because when I go to sell, I just sit there on my sidekick internet all day..And I'm assistant manager...but tha only one working. My boss is telling me to hire some people...


Oh, and I sell newspaper subscriptions if you wanna know. Outside stores and shit. It used to be dumb ass easy, when there was a whole lot of people doing cause you would have fun and compete...but now its just me...bored as hell!
