my lowest wage ever as 2.31/hr as a server when I was in HS and college freshman years. But the tips were REALLY Good, average about 100/weekday, 200/day on weekends after Shared.

h:

Then the 2nd lowest was 7/hr cash when I was 14-15 yrs old doing carpenter work 12 hrs/day during summer/holidays.

I've been working my ass off and saving it all so that I could help out the family and put a $50K down payment for my parent's house earlier this year

Now that I don't have to worry much about my parents and more onto my life & career.

Then the 3rd lowest was 15/hr during training @ my current job.

Then the current/4th lowest is 25/hr as an Fiber Optics Analysis and Test Enginner.

Hopefully I'll get a raise after 6 months.

If all goes well I'll be making just under $50 an hour this Spring. :exnbp: Well, that's unrealistic, possibly Spring of '07. :happysad:

Have to push a button everytime I go to the bathroom, again when I come back, different button for breaks, different for lunch, etc. Each week management is scheming ideas to make me more than 100% efficent. If i bust my ass all year I get a $1 a day raise after taxes.

Yeah, it's hard.

I do the same Job..I hate how they time me when I go to the Bathroom..fuggers!

I make around the same an hour (a little less) but I'm averaging between 60 and 70hrs a week now. That's just for Christmas though... and I'm saving up for a down payment on a new car. Normally I get 48hrs a week.
