[quote:SugarSand:MV80NzM2OTY3Xzg2MjkxODEwX0UxNzU4NEM1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 69697180:MV80NzM2OTY3Xzg2MjkxNzA1XzgzNTgwNjM2] Globalism and feminism killed the golden goose of American industrial jobs. Democrats are primarily to blame but some RINOs went along with it. They sold the idea of a transitional service economy followed by green jobs. What really happened was Walmart became among the biggest employers. The average Walmart worker to survive uses EBT cards. In other words, Walmart is subsidized by theUS Government!!! This is insanity. This will never support US real estate. [/quote] Blame me. I can take it. Most people blame me, anyway. I've been the breadwinner for my family since I was a kid. My whole thing is .. "would you say that to your neighbor who works all day? your brother?" The economy has always sucked since I've been eligible to participate (1991) and WAY before if you ask my dad (he died in a factory in 2012, so no one can ask him and it's ok). People's expectations are insane. I say people's ... but you all know who I'm talking about! [/quote]

It is what it says. We just got the second job offer. She only had 2 interviews, got both jobs.
One as a lifeguard, one at a deli/restaurant as help not working the slicer. Probably washing dishes.
When I started working minimum wage was $3.35.
She is going to make 12.
There are rules for 15 year olds ... she can only work weekends during the school year and can only work 38 hours per week - no overtime working - in summer.
But yeah.
So far, we don't have to choose one or the other but I'm sure she will. They both know she was applying for other jobs.
She's gonna have 38 * 12 * .75 (taxes) = a week. That's 342 a week in the summer.
She has 4 more job interviews this week. Because most of the jobs are Summer-centric, I'm inisisting she go to ALL the interviews.
She turned 15 on March 1, which made her legally eligible to work, and these are her results.
