I don't know, I know minimum wage is 9.50 in my state, and it's my first job, but it's still below minimum wage, so I'm not sure how to feel. I'm glad to finally get my first job though.

As a minor unless you're helping to pay bills or you're saving for college that should feel like tons of cash.

Some states are legally allowed to pay minors below minimum wage.

If your area requires a $9.50 minimum wage, then you shouldn't be getting paid any less than that. Do you also receive tips or is there any reason why you wouldn't be making the minimum?

@_Rinku__ I never knew that. Thanks for the info, I'm going to look into it myself.

No, it's just legal to pay below minimum wage in Michigan if you're a minor. I know people who make like $8.25 an hour.

How young are you? As a 15 year old that'd probably be pretty good, but not so much for a 17 year old.

I guess it's okay if the store is. It's a decent sum as a minor. Save save save.

If that's the case I guess it's fine.

I remember making 8 bucks an hour full time at my first job. My biweekly checks were about $550 after taxes and I felt like a king because I was 18 with no bills.

Now my biweekly checks are like 1100 and I feel broke as fuck because I have bills

Huh. But a pack of cigarettes are also like, $10 out there from what I've heard so I guess it balances itself out. They're only like, $6-$7 here.

$7.25 at 16 when I worked at a pizza chain... 12 years ago.

But different states, different pays.

It completely depends on where you live. 10 an hour in California is like 18 in many other states.

The summer before my freshman year of college I got paid $9 an hour for a warehouse job and I felt pretty good about it. 40 hour weeks too

So yeah it kinda depends on the state but you're literally 16 so it could be worse.

Pretty sure minimum is $7.25/hr here (AL) too. Has been since I started working like nine years ago.

The real shitty thing about minimum wage is that you sometimes get bosses who "don't believe in raises." I have two friends who made exactly $7.25 at the same crappy jobs throughout college. That means they effectively took a pay cut for four years in a row.
