That ducking whore......

$3.15. - gas station by my house.

I filled propane tanks, filled bags of ice and stocked beer....

Best job a 15 year old can get.....

Now they want minimum wage to be what my salary was the first year out if college:-

 

[DVINNY]

My first Engineering job I made $10.00 / hr.

With a 4 year ABET accredited degree.

[RANT] And I fully agree, these bums today want that as minimum wage. Where would the incentive be? I had the incentive that I didn't want to live in the card board box behind Macy's department store, so I stayed in school and off of drugs. Still seems simple enough. [/RANT]

 

[knight1fox3]

^ exactly. While it might be "easy to say" from my current position, those low paying jobs also gave me the drive I needed to find something better in getting a college education.

 

[csb]

I made $11.25 in 2002 as a fresh out of school engineer.

 

[ventilator]

$8.00 /hr at a plumbing shop. things were booming at that point so I was usually working 50 hr/wk so for 10 hours each check is was $12/hr for overtime, man I thought I rolling in it then. Which I kinda was because I was still living at home so it was all basically spending money.

 

[YMZ PE]

$27.40/hr starting out as an engineer in 2006.

 

[Ship Wreck PE]

^^^. Wow!! That's a great first job. You are winning so far, and I have the lowest paying first job.

Oh the stories I could tell..... I'll sum it all up with "I never ate at one again!"
