Just dont' be a busser/waiter or something like that in the hospitality business. I was a busser a year or so ago and it sucked. Plus I only made $5.15. You just have to always put on a happy face even when the customer is being a dick. You always have to be peppy, which is one reason they asked for me to leave. I started coming to work high and didn't give a fuck anymore cause they treated me like shit. So........I bailed. I think it was a good decision

Oreo call you local Post Office or visist www.usps.com and look up under jobs. If you are 18 and can pass a drug test you can get a job making 16.45 and hour. You have to log on and see when they giving the postal exam in your area. You have to take the postal exam to get the job. They hire you based on your postal score for example you take the test and score 98 somone else scores a 99, they get hired in first then you. They hire until the list is used up. Anyone who scores a 70 or better is on the list. If they aren't hiring right now b/c they have an active list you can always get in as a casual. They pay around 10 and hour and you don't get benfits. It's a good secure job with excellent benifits. All you have to do is take the test. I did, and I'm waiting for my scores, should be in this week. I haven't smoked since I took the test and know b/c I studied for the test I will do well and get hired in quickly. Hope that helps. By the way the most exciting job I've ever had was as a Travel Agent. I didn't make alot of money, averaged out to about 12 an hour with hourly pay and commission combined, but the travel rewards were awesome. I traveled all over for a few years, and that was really cool. However I worked for small agency and after 9/11 I was layed off SO anyway, now I'm going to work for the post office. Can't beat the money, and benifits without going back to college. I have three kids and I need to pay for their college so I'm not planning to go back at this time, but I won't say never,as I have gone to college I just didn't finish. I went to travel school completed that and that was all the farther I got with college. Hope that helps.

Move to alaska..the minimum wage there is 10 dollars i think. I get 8.85 at a grocery store in food service.

Alaska minimum wage is $10 and hour? Are you kidding me Pureevil or have you smoked way too much weed today???? Alaska is part of the USA the last time I checked, and therefore minimum wage is the same no matter what state you live in as the federal government makes the law. While I'm not sure what minimum wage is today as I haven't made wages like that in many years I can tell you it's NOT $10 an hour. Last time I recall it was $5.25 but I know it's gone up since, I just don't know what too. Honestly, I can't stop laughing b/c you said it's more in Alaska really dude, where are you from? Did you skip your history, government, and geography class all at the same time? C'mon man, seriouly, back off the weed and open a book. Sorry I'm trying to be mean, I'm just is all.

Have a good one.

Well there you go, I really thought it was something that the federal issue not a state issue. Sorry about that, and I mean that. I'm the dumbass, I can admit it when I'm wrong, so there you go, I admit it, I'm wrong. Holds tail between legs and wonders on home...

Thanks for setting me straight on the subject. It does make sense though, b/c it cost more to live in some states then it does in others. Anyway I'm gonna take your word for it and shut the hell up.
