EPTAs far as I know it is still running now 7 years later.
Got paid 100 DKR/hour or @ 18 dollars/hour.
And I'm pretty sure that the work I did there factored in to why I when I graduated got a grant from the school.

Paid under the table for a little while. Did this starting at age 14 in the summer, making ~$2-300 a week. Pretty baller for 14. Also learned how to fix/build just about anything in a house. I did drywall, tile, masonry, roofing, cement, framing, plumbing, electrical work.........basically everything. Invaluable experience that i never ever want to do again, lol. | ||

I was paid around 10 € / hour, which was totally okay as a student. What i learned: Wayyyyy to many people in Germany drive under the influence of alcohol and refill at gas stations (fuel and booze :-/) | ||

I got like $60 cash a day + breakfast/lunch/dinner, which is ironically the most consistent and was the most money I've ever earned even after I graduated college (working at a non-paying internship atm lol) It was hard work, and I basically put in at least 8-10 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. I think during those two months was the only time in my life where I didn't have access to a computer/tv/electronics and I didn't even miss it :o Honestly it help me put things in perspective in terms of jobs. I hate hearing people bitch and moan about their jobs all the time when they're working a standard 9-5 job with great pay and they get to sit at their desk and browse the web for half the day when it can be MUCH worse. You can be stuck in a dead end job, working your ass off in the sun for 8 hours a day and be paid shit wages. I mean it's ridiculous, my sister who makes $100k a year and just bitch and moan all day about how "little" she makes. I mean I understand people venting/complaining about their job once in a while but honestly people really shouldn't complain how "little" they make to people who are basically making 1/3rd of their wages and expect a pity party thrown for them. ("but my friends make more than me..." FML). I think the worst job she ever had was working at a school lab making $10-15 an hour, playing minesweeper for half the time. I feel you there man. My father is one of those people and he annoys me so much. My father used to work in construction doing manual labor and he would never complain. Since then, he's moved up the ladder and now operates machinery and drives trucks. He sits on his ass w/ a fully air conditioned cabin or heated cabin for 8 hours a day and gets paid really well, but he's always complaining about how he works too much. Almost all of the time, it's just ridiculous and unwarranted complaining -.-. I couldn't imagine him working in an office setting. He would probably bitch and moan all day. You should smack some reality into your sister  . $100k /year isn't enough for her? O_o Like you said, I bet you half the time she's just sitting around doing nothing. I can't believe people can complain about sitting in an office, on a computer browsing the internet and getting paid. If I made that much, my life would be set. A decent house and 2 nice cars is all I want to be happy item wise (not counting family, other things, etc...). I already have one of the cars. I just need the house and 1 more car... And to graduate college  . | ||
