Out of curiosity what is the average / minimum wage for a 16yo in teh US?

like in UK its $8.20ish an hour for part time work im on $8.50 but my manager wants me on $15 an hour which is nice :tup: just the lawyers are having none of it, damn charity run organizations :angry2: I only work like 14 hours  week tho hence the need for additional business :winker:

Bestbuy does not give employee discounts on Apple products.

Whoever asked the minimum wage question. IT depends but here in Florida, it's $6.67, and usually most jobs now round it to $7, not much eh? I've had 6 different jobs, all in food cept for one, and they paid $6.40 (<that was the old minimum wage) to $7 (<This was before the minimum wage raise :D). Sometimes the benefits in my job outweighed the pay, which was kind of sad but still good XD

Bleh well I've been busy ya know, doign a computer programming class in my virtual school, getting ready to go to a school play (just to see my friends), and getting a ds from a friend for 40 bucks :D, it's one of the first versions, so I'ma mod the hell outta it and sell it off :). Anyway on topic, best to apply for a job when you're 16, and try not to go for the easy fast food jobs. I've had 5 jobs doing that, and it's embarassing, :censored:ty at best, and just plain not worth all the stress built on you for it.

Ok so basically its the same UK has a marginally higher minimum wage but thats jsut because of the exchange rate glad we got that sorted.

And I agree with whoever made the fast foos job comment, I use the toilet in mcdonalds, you'd understand if you lived in aberdeen, and I jsut laugh at every single worker and now mose of them try to avoid me.

Animal Welfare is where the moneys at  :tup:
Of course it helps if you get A LTO of additional benefits because your aunts the manager  :dntknw: XD

You guys are stating the minimum wage without stating the taxes taken,
the average for the US would be around 6.50 after taxes...

yeh we dont get charged taxes until earning £5000 a year i think. also 18 the minumum is £5.55 i think.

and indy your telling me that in aberdeen you dont just lean up against your door have a slash then get your key out and go in.

Thats a quote from some comedian... cant remember who tho... was something along the lines of "The most scottish thing i ever saw was a man leaning against a door having a slash.... he finishes up... takes out his keys.. unlocks the door and goes in" :D i LOL'd at that hehe
