How do you guys do this bullshit?I just got a new job (thought i would be moveing up from target..)

Anyway, i make $6.50 an hour... blahblahblah ...This is just a rant and i needed to complain to somebody but ****, anyone else in my situation?

I work at a hospital and I am only seventeen. I make a simple $9 and change per hour by delivering items to front desks. Im not in your situation but keep looking around for other job openings. Target pays less than $6.50? Holy crap.

I don't have a job right now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Worked as a lifeguard for a few years making 6.50, and then at Lowes this summer making $7.50.

I'm thinking about going into tutoring now, there's supposed to be good money in it, but the problem is that in a college town you have to set yourself apart from everyone a little bit more. I reckon being a junior in the honors college I can pick up some tutoring hours though....let's hope.

Anyway, i make $6.50 an hour, they held my first week paycheck like usual, so this was for 2 weeks, says i worked 16.08 hours, made $104.22, after all the texes and the first check "right to work tax" ($10) i lost close to $40, now ive ended up with $76.82 for 16 hours, that seems like a lot longer, it seems like im wasteing more on gas getting to and from the place thats about a half an hour away then im makeing..

This is just a rant and i needed to complain to somebody but ****, anyone else in my situation?

I have worked for 2 months of my life where I wasnt working for myself or family/friend.

If Im gonna work for someone and make them some $ in my mind it might as well be family or friends //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

Why you gonna ***** about what you make? If ya dont like it find a new one or start your own business.

I realize you're in high school. I worked for myself most of high school and had many buddies who found jobs for $10+ an hour. Spend 35 minutes mowing a lawn and get paid $35-40. After expense say you're keeping $12 out of the $40, still not to bad for a half an hour of work //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

If ya wanna work for someone else, go place where you can make money... shit my buddy use to make $12+ gas $ an hour in high school, running around town for a couple lawyers.

Just think about it this way, at least you have money. If you really hate your job and think you could be making more, find a new one. After you've had your first job, then getting another one really isn't that difficult. I work at kohl's and make a whopping $8.06/hr and on a 20 hour paycheck, I get a little over $130/week. It isn't much, but it's more than I'd have if I weren't working.

I mean, I am jealous that I have a buddy who's my age, 20 years old, and working as an assistant manager at a cingular store making $19/hr + commission. But I just don't want all the responsibility.

If you look around you can usually find some sort of odd job that pays a decent amount

I work at Lowe's in a supervisory position and make over $9, plus I co-op with the airforce as a cost anaylist -$13. Yeah I work 50 hours a week and take 18 hours of school but it's no big deal...I get about 1-2 hours of free time per day. I take home ~$400 per week.

It isn't what you make, it's what you spend. Just wait til you pay for tutition, books, insurance, IRA, 401(k), other investments, pay of credit cards...

making what you make isn't bad if your bills are low.
