9. "I've never made minimum wage. I couldn't afford to..." In response to Reply # 0 Thu Apr-16-15 06:24 PM by ndibs
I started at $11/hr when I was 17 answering phones. I did a little work for my dad's office when I was in hs and I was probably paid by piece. I made maybe $75 a week working 4-5 hours assembling computer cables.
*edit aactually i'm lying, my first job was working for AOL doing data entry, then quality assurance. it was around $11. but i also picked up extra work doing quaity assurance that i got paid for either overtime or at an extra rate because it wasn't contracted through the temp agency that found me the job. it was just testing how quickly their servers pinged and writing that down for the engineers.

I was in 9th grade in 1990, and I was making about $4.00/hour, remember when minimum wage was like $3.35 though....

At least that is what she claimed, it was one of those situations where if you were a server they paid you dick assuming your tips would make up the differential and then some.

what i'm really proud of is the fact that as a high school senior, i had a gov't job as a clerk making like $5.50/hr and i think the minimum wage was still around $3.50. that was good money to me...

but it jumped up to like $5.25 an hour a few months later. Then up to like $5.75 another year later. By my senior year I was making $9 an hour as assistant manager. Was straight balling. Was bringing home around $400 a paycheck, you couldnt tell me anything.

I don't have a fucking clue what my lowest pay was. I do remember that I was happy to work at Disneyland because we were union and so got higher than minimum wage, so I earned something like $4.50 an hour.
