You remind me of someone I know. She didn’t bother finishing high school, didn’t bother to learn to drive, didn’t bother to do a lot of things the rest of the adult world finds routine.
She is now 28, has lost everything, has wound up moving in with relatives, and is struggling with her first job. Rather pathetic. I’d feel sorry for her if she didn’t whine so much about how unfair it all is and expect other people to take care of her.
Of course, for you, that’s 10 years down the road.
Since you clearly are not poor could you please spend some money on a purchase of punctuation marks?
This is a pretty good post. It has some punctuation and capitalization and expresses a semi-coherent argument.
However, it doesn’t sound right. Do you have a link to these figures? It sounds more like a truck driver who used to work for the newspaper at a full time job but now is unemployed because newspapers are nearly dead.
Actually not always. Depending, it might cost more to work two minimum wage jobs, depending on how far you have to travel to each one. Just like, surprisingly, it may cost more for both people to work, because of the cost of commuting to work.
I think he is talking about the route delivery folks who actually deliver newspapers to the houses of subscribers. When I was a child (50s and 60s) this was done by kids who picked up the papers at a route manager’s house and walked or bicycled to every house on the route. When I did this, I made about $12 a week, working seven days. The kids have pretty much been replaced by men and women delivering much longer routes from their personal vehicles, and I believe it pays about what CEO says in Ohio. That’s 18K for a seven day per week job in the very early morning using your own car and gas. I suspect that most people who do this work burn out, and working an additional job with regular hours would be tough, because the papers are not always available when they are supposed to be.
Despite its lack of alignment with his post about two minimum wage jobs, this one shows slightly more acquaintance with actual work and money than most of what CEO has posted.
…relying on the largesse of family. Hmm…
Glad the OP has found a way to scrape through tough times.
im talking about the newspaper you get every morning its a tough job you gotta bag them too but in some states 30k a year for a few hour job every day isn’t bad.
News flash, chuckles, newspapers are dying. It’s on the way out. Half the houses in my neighborhood (including mine) never get newspapers. I personally never will. The Internet has news, too!
ah pizza delivery job there easy to get $100 in tips a day idk?
You’re funny. Have you ever done a pizza delivery job? Ever done any kind of menial, service level job at all? They suck.
That’s not to say you can’t find time to do an extra job, but right now my attentions are all focused on going back to school, so no pizza delivery for me.
minuim wage + tips $500 a week.
I direct you to this excellent post by a pizza delivery expert.
I tried playing ends meet bingo. It wasn’t fun. They handed everyone a Mobius Strip and after 5 numbers had been called, the entire room shouted “Bingo!”
:D:D:D
That was pretty freaking clever.
I know I laughed out loud.
No, you can’t take a house with you if you have to leave the area to take a better job (or leave for some less than happy reason).
If you have an income, you go into bankruptcy <happened to my brother>.
If you don’t have an income, it just stays on your permanent record until money comes from somewhere.
40 hours a week at minimum wage works out to $290.00. Are you seriously saying a pizza delivery person can average $210.00 in tips? And most pizza delivery persons probably only work part time.
I agree with Annamikaa. Have you ever worked any kind of service level job at all? Have you ever had to do anything for yourself?
EDIT - Actually, read the post that Croatulus linked to. Hopefully it will open your eyes.
You know I’m starting to wonder how you got to be CEO.
Nepotism.
