Sounds like i need to move to Canada! Minimum wage here is $7.25, and I work with adults who get paid that! Not sure about up there, but around here jobs are TIGHT, very very few, and I live in a resort area. But I'm a hard worker, which is the reason i make $8.50 while I manage adults only making $7.25. I'm going to college next year, which is payed for by my great grandparents smart investing in the stock market. All of my income goes towards my truck and savings.

My father does tell me not to spend it on my truck. But I choose to spend it where I want. I will begin a savings when I get my degree. I make less than 6k a year the way I'm working right now.

Young guy and hard worker? That is hard to find around here. You deserve $18.00/hour

My choices were get a truck and pay for it myself, or get some stupid car and pay for it myself too. A truck is much more practical for hunting, fishing, and work

Dodge+Ford = always ready
now if your working and all your money is going towards a truck payment, thats stupid.
IMO its completely idiotic to buy a $400 car and thinking it will last you more then a couple months.

Canuck with a truck
Young guys that work hard are definitely hard to find now a days, I have to laugh i work as a laborer doing masonry (brick and stone). I'm 19a and we have a CO-OP student that's only a year younger than me. My boss says there's a night and day difference between the two of us in work ethic/ common knowledge. He can't read a tape measure, slow as hell, and can't operate a shovel. Its basically i just want him to get out of my way so i can do everything faster. But he is a good guy though. I think the reason for the difference between him and me is because i grew up in a farming community and he grew up in subdivision in the city.
