haha, that sucks.  That's hard ass work too.  Here in CA the minimum wage is $8, I think, that's how much I make, and my boss said I will be making minimum wage.

i did decking for the last 3 years during the summer. its hard work but it paid around 400 a week. I wouldnt spend any money during the summer and saved for spirng/fall semesters. So I could ski and party the rest of the year without having to work

i've just got off a 6pm to 6am shift at a factory with only 40mins break! i'm one of only 4 people (out of 30+) that speaks fluent english and those who can speak english are so stupid it would be better if they didn't. i've mustered about 4 hours of daytime sleep and it blows! going back in 6 hours, so in 4 days i'll have worked 48 hours. being a student sucks for getting jobs in england.

got to pay for skiing holidays somehow though....

I don't sleep. I work 60-80 hour weeks a bait&tackle shop. Then at night I'm a commercial fisherman. That being said, I get paid 10 bucks an hour under the table for the shop and then a grand a day under the table for commercially fishing. I kinda make bank.
