hdkiller · 11-30-2010, 02:41 AM

munki · 11-30-2010, 03:24 AM

Fucked if I know, never held a min. wage position.

MikeSmoke · 11-30-2010, 03:46 AM

Minimum wage was $1.65 working college jobs in the early 70s, first lugging projectors around campus and then running the college pool room (MUCH better job lol).

First real job was in jr. high, though - picking blueberries for 15 cents a quart. Work all day, you could make more than $2.00 for the day AND get totally sick gorging on blueberries.

Paul Markham · 11-30-2010, 04:21 AM

My first job paid 20 cents an hour. $8 a week. I was a trainee chef at a top London hotel. I was 15.

brassmonkey · 11-30-2010, 04:59 AM

damn i see where the older gentlemen are.

$5 submissions · 11-30-2010, 05:18 AM

Back when I was a kid, I worked at a trophy company for $3.65. Back then, trophies already sucked. Most were made of plastic. I never looked at trophies the same way again.

ottopottomouse · 11-30-2010, 05:29 AM

£3/hour but there wasn't a fixed minimum wage then. Was only introduced here in 1999.

SwirlsGirl · 11-30-2010, 07:29 AM

like 5 bucks an hour

Sid70 · 11-30-2010, 07:49 AM

'93 - $100 a month.

Kenny B! · 11-30-2010, 07:59 AM

Was $3.90 I started my first part time summer job at 12!

pornguy · 11-30-2010, 08:07 AM

3.15 per hour. then about 3 months later they raised it to 3.20 and I got a raise for 5 cents. Then I found a job on month 5 that was paying me 5$ per hour with over time if I wanted it. Over time was anything over 8 hours in the day and it was time and a half. Was a great place to work.

Tom_PM · 11-30-2010, 09:22 AM

I think $2.75. Had special working papers to work when I was 15 in the summer for the school district. Helping clean up desks and floors and such in an elementary school.

Truth... I've worked for significantly less than minimum wage (interning 3D modeling/design and later music marketing/production) in early high school... and interning taught me to get paid for my time and expertise...

Very true.

When I was 18 I was working in a department store selling sporting goods for minimum wage - then I got a call. I could do a free internship, five days a week, in the industry where I really wanted to work - if I could start immediately.
I walked into my boss's office and quit the department store job. He said I couldn't quit - I needed to give two week's notice. I told him tough. He waved his finger at me and said "You'll never work in this industry AGAIN!"

I looked at him and said "God, I hope you're right."

Cyber Fucker · 11-30-2010, 01:03 PM

Around 200$/month full time = less than 1$/hour, and that was not so long ago...
