I mow a few lawns and make $100 a week.... Working like 3 hours a week. So it's like $30 an hour give or take a few, but I only work a few hours a week and I get paid by the job not the hour. I'm only 17 and still live with my parents so I just save it over the summer and spend it all winter. Works out pretty well.

happened 3 weeks ago.

I'm now sleeping on my dad's couch in Minnesota.Oh how things can change.

I went from a loft in Downtown LA, a swanky view of Melrose, and the nicest computer I could have ever hoped for to a broken macbook pro and a couch in less than 1 month.

But whatever, in 1 - 2 months I'll be either living in Mammoth again or Breckenridge not making as much, but just as happy if not happier.

No offense, but if you can go downhill that fast, you weren't being very wise with your money. I don't understand how people can spend everything they make so that when something does go wrong, they are already in a hole.

i'm still at college, but between lessons i can go to this land surveying company where i basically do some office work to help em out.
this is stuff like scanning/copying, opening mail, making small reports on works, etc...

i get paid 9euro/hour and it doesn't really matter how hard i work, as long as i don't do other stuff....

so its an excellent deal for a student ! :)

just out of curiosity how much did you make before? because i have a part time job now working roughly 20-25is hours a week and from people ive talked too based on my summer income (completely different than my income now) i could be collecting unemployment of nearly more than i make working now.

which is MESSED UP if their figures are correct i would make more money for doing nothing. talk about a good incentive to work... pause not.

I work as a Barista in Seattle making about $360 a week at minimum wage.  But our cafe kills in tips.  The tip pool usually averages out to about $2/hour each week.

I was making $350/week salary and had commission and bonus's on top of that +compensation for driving around for work. The bummer is, my state doesn't count all the extra stuff when calculating unemployment, so even though I was making anywhere between $500-$600 a week regularly, they only counted the $350.

And, yes, it is messed up, I'm actually in a position where I would most likely LOSE money to get a job (because it wouldn't be a good job, so making minimum wage, and I don't have many free hours to work), so as shitty as it is, and I hate doing it, but I'm just coasting on my unemployment until it runs out (which is 99 weeks after you've been laid off...that's almost 2 years, which is insane).

However, now that you already have a job, unless you got laid/fired (not left on your own terms) AND you get fired/laid off from this job, you can't collect.

except unless you are making a TON during school as well, you get it all back at the end of the year anyways.

so more likely thank uncle whoever-the-gov-of-minnesota is.
