I worked at a grocery too help pay my way through college. A good learning experience and motivates oneself too do his best at college. Is your fathers foot planted in your rear? Good luck bro.

 

Congrats on the job....yeah make sure you dont slack, pay your debts to your parents. Your lucky you had ones nice enuff to spot you. Its hard to save, especially when your making 5' something...Good LucK!

 

Get a job unionized?!?! LOL then pay union fees when making 5.85 an hour when 16 or 17 years old. No

 

Good job WallStreet....we all have to start somewhere.

Now then, I want to hear a little more about this MIP and running from the cops thing. Surely they couldn't have caught you on that NOS machine.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Heck, you young guns had it easy... I remember when the minimum wage went UP to 90 cents an hour. Now imagine how hard you had to work to make a hundred bucks in two weeks.

But gas was about 17 cents a gallon then too... and you could eat a full meal at McD's for 99 cents. And the girl (Now wife) was a whole lot cheaper to maintain... Imagine, her tastes run to the custom candy red Grizzly... and guess who has to clean it when she is done with it....

Thank GOD I work as a government consultant and make way more these days.... almost embarassed to say how much... but the end of the year figure has a lot of zeros in it... Where the hell does it all go?

Thats not even min wage-- I would call the labor department unless it is under the table

 

Actually the minimum wage in Kansas is only $2.65 an hour, it's the lowest in the country [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

WallStreet you have to start somewhere. Get your folks paid off and stay there long enough so you get a good work record. Then go out in the real world and get a job. $5.85 is alot more then what I got on my first job. When I was 12 I picked weeds in a onion field for 35 cents a hour and they worked us 10 hours a day. It is not what you started out with, but what you ended up with. I now have a summer lake home up in northen MN. and a winter home in AR. I am retired now and fish, hunt, and go 4 weeling. lol to ya. Also stay away from the damn drugs.

 

With an Income tax, Sale tax, high car tags, high property tax. Yep Kansas, great place to live.
