7 dollars an hour? I am 15 and I probably can even make more then that probably. Do you have no education?

Is it sad? No, someone has to do the crappy jobs. If you don't do it, it is sad because then you are of no use to society.

To answer your question, no it isn't sad. I know a few people that are 30 and don't HAVE a job. I myself will probably work minimum wage until I finish college.

nah it's not sad .
like pyromon said , not everyone can find a job , and getting a job isn't as easy as it looks .
stick with minimum wage and start searching for more job options that pay better .

Is it sad not to work, to went trough all life living by the wage of your parents. To be honest is not a sad thing.

No it's ot sad. I don't know what the hell has taught people these days where... as soon as your 20 or so, you have to be in school, living on your own, with a good paying job.

You're a rare one if you can actually make more than that at the age of 15. All 15 year old I know get stuff bought for them by their parents. Yes, I saw the "probably".

It does suck, but at least you have a job. Plus, it's only temporary. Chin up, ride it out, and send out lots of applications for better jobs.

I don't know about America, but over here a 15 year old doesn't even have to be paid minimum wage, which means they could end up working for half of that.

It is sad, but be glad you have a job unlike so many people. Also, its not sad as in its pathetic, but sad in the fact that you have to for money, but again at least you got a job and someone has to do that job.

Not everyone has the ability or desire to get the type of jobs that pay well. There's no shame in having a less prestigious job.

No it wouldn't be sad. As other people have said, it's not easy getting a job these days.

depends on where you are, out here minimum wage is $8 a hour. federal minimum wage is around $4.50-$5.00 last I heard.
and no its not sad, someone has to do the work, and if you don't, someone who is older then you might do it.

Job market is really tight right now so no it is not sad. You need to do what you need to do to survive... end of story.

work for it or someone will do the work for you, with less payment, thats the real truth.

Not at all, a lot of the people I come across in London doing minimum wage jobs (or close to that) are far more decent, have more self respect and respect for those around them than the average people I have to deal with who are earning 6 figure salaries. Also simply by working you are doing your self-esteem a whole lot of good and being in a work routine can do wonders for avoiding things like clinical depression that is easy to fall into for those going through long term unemployment. That's not to say that it can't be depressing at times earning less than those around you, but happiness is something wholly unrelated to money...

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
