Construction starting at $10 an hour, but I should be up to $12-14 by the end of the summer. It should be pretty sweet because I get to work outside with a few of my friends and make $500+ a week.

still workin at sportchek. been about 9 months now. started off selling skis, boards, hockey gear, winter shit.. and now its blades, bikes, golf, and other summer equipment. it's not too bad, commission has its ups and downs. a good day i'll make $20 an hour, and a bad one i'll make minimum. usually it's right around 10-12 per hour, since those reaalllly good days are rare. best i've ever done was selling 4k worth of goods in a 7 hour shift, and at 5% commission, that's 200 dollars in 7 hours. so yeah, it can be aiight. stressful though. having to meet a sales quota, always having to worry about selling....... get's irritating. but like i said, i've been there for 9 months and am pretty familiar with the place, dealing with customers, etc etc, so it's all good
