minimum wages (1 Viewer)

Your rate of pay may be seem low, but just remember that you are only a student and that it is better to have a job with 'poor' rate of pay than to not have one at all.

Not necessarily.

Note the 'poor'...

My point was that too many people believe that they should be receiving rates similar to those of experienced employees... That belief is pretty stupid. Perhaps I should have just said that, I guess.

When you're working in retail like most young people who have jobs do, there is no difference in pay between someone who has worked there 10 years and someone who has worked there for 2 days (obviously apart from different rates for different ages)

Thank you for taking a general statement and turning it on its head. The point was that young students should not expect to earn similar rates to what their managers, mum and dad, or people over 20 manage (in most cases).

The amount of hours and effort you put into your work and the degree of difficulty have pretty much nothing to do with the rate of pay.

10 hrs for $45?? what bs. yeah people can't expect to work for as much as their parents, but also can't expect to work for nothing, people work hard and after a week of 10 hrs work what could you buy with 45? nothing!
