Summer Jobs

[GoldEagle]

I'm sure I'm not the only one out of school, and getting a summer job. So, what's your summer job (or just your regular job)?

-Job:

-Requirements:
-Best Part:

-Job: Working at my parent's franchise of the company Unishippers
-Pay: $7.50/hour

-Job: Kroger - In the Dairy
-Pay: $6.70/hour
-Hours: 35-40/week
-What you do: Stock milk/cheese/eggs
-Requirements: Be able to speak broken english, and have minimal hand-eye coordination
-Best Part: The Co-workers
-Worst Part: The managers. I guess they don't realize I am paid $0.20 above minimum wage after being there for almost 2 years. And because of this, there is only so far they can push me before I tell them to buzz off.

Oh man, I remember $7/hr. That was a long time ago.

Better than what I got. My first job in HS was making $3.35 an hour. I got a raise to $3.90 in six months or so, and that was a lot of money! Well, for a 16 y/o with no expenses, it was.

Mid-30's is close enough for government work.
