Im excited!

[(:Jordan:)]

I had to tell someone else, so I thought I would post it on here. I finally got a job haha. It's going to take a month to get in, but thats cool with me. It pays $17 an hour, and I am only 18, so not bad! It's for the Union. I will be working in Vegas building casinos and crap. Sorry I just had to tell someone else.

Thanks,
Jordan

Sweet, I make 9.69 and I am 20. What will the hours be like?

[AndrewBird]

Cool cool.

I just started a new job last week disassembling hobby class RC cars. Pay is per piece, but averages $8-$12 and hour.

Nice man, construction is hard work but $17/hr is a good starting point at only 18. Congrats on the job!

Cool shit, don't get fired.

[E30 Wagen]

that's a good wage for an 18 year old in construction, especially in these hard times. Good luck, and don't mess up!:)

$17 an hour in vegas in the summer is not bad, until you blow it all on gatorade, hookers, blow, and illegal gambling.

How's it feel to live below the poverty line?

That's about the size of it. You non-CA/big city people have no clue what life is like out here.

[mitch500]

I was in Palm Springs for six months, and was expecting it to be bad - but it wasn't THAT bad.

I drove thru Newport Beach, and spoke to someone that had a job offer to work there. She was gonna be making about 110k a year, and said she'd be hardpressed to find a place to live on that salary.

But, looking again - are you saying I'm correct and that living REALLY IS expensive out there? LOL
