im not making anythig much... just minimun, well 25 cents above, but thats hardly much to brag about.
still, 7.75 an hour better than nothing an hour...
7.50 is the minimum there here huh?Its only 5.15 here(last i checked).At least you get to work at the mall right?Hey something i've been meaning to ask...WTF is a&w?The only a&w i know of is the root beer company...

alot more than most other 16 year olds. i've worked in three different auto shops, i've done several different kinds of construction work (note, all of these were weekend jobs, and then summer jobs, totally legit however)
i have my grade 10 co-op, which was with rogers televison (looks GREAT on a resume) and countless hours of community serivec on there. along with three very relible references.
i also have my cover letters to go along with them. on those i go onto my experience. like cash handling and what not. customer experience, sotck gathering, employee training, management experience. dont ever doubt me because of my age.
well, technically, since i was a kid for the auto shops, cause my dad works in them. i started getting paid under the table when i was 12... when i turned 14, and i was legal to work in private businesses, i worked in two of those auto shops in one year. my dad ended up moving to another place, which is why i changed. for the summer, i found work with my uncle doing drywall installations, and the last of the auto shops. at that point, i was actually allowed to help out with actual car work, rather than just cleaning everything like i had before... it was one hell of abusy summer. while i was 15, i was doing caprentry on the weekends with a friend of mines father. it went from furniture buliding to house making... i was just like an assitant helper though... still, i got to do some work, and picked up some really handy skills. and for the summer of when i was 15, i went back to drywalling. in october, (still 15) i was hired at A&W, and turned 16 two weeks later. since then i've been working there.
i also as a kid had three paper routes, but i would never in all of my years put those on my resume! as far as the co-op went, i did that during school hours. last two periods of everyday. all i did was move around *** boxes and connect wires... never actually got to do anything TV related. regardless, it still counts as experience, and looks pretty damn impressive on a resume.
im actually hoping to get a job with a friend of mine. his dad is the president of a foods maufacturing plant, and the starting is like yours, from 10-12. although, if i start in blending, then i start at 15. the place is clled grand river foods, and basically all it is, is processing chicken to be sold in grocery stores, all over canada. so not only is it high pay, its also free chicken! i love chicken!
although, at the same time, if i end up with a plain old job at EB or Chapters, at 8.50 an hour, i wont be complaining.
well, people make careers out of IT, so it makes sence why its high. not to mention, all the schooling required, and of course the fact that i see few people actually in that field. your actually the only one i know.
as far as a career goes, im not certain what i want. something in the dramatic arts would be so awesome, but at the same time i have to stay in touch with reality. im more than likely going to be a social science major in post secondary school, so i could always think about teaching. i dont care if its not a tremendously high paying job, i just want something that i would enjoy.
right now, getting an actaully fun job is a dream, so its all about the cash.
Hurray im the only IT pro you know!Theres plenty of people here who could do it though.Random seems to be good with web design type stuff.Those guys can make alot of money.PC_Builder knows alot of the basics so he could get a decent job doing repairs or something.
Stealth a teacher huh....That would be one hell of a class.
fun job would be working in Gamestop...I almost applyed for a network analyst job for gamestop awhile back.It wasnt great pay($14.50 i think) but it had good benefits.
