EPTI've done 70 hrs a week while attending school fulltime for several months (though I was getting paid better than minimum wage-- that's my incentive-- and the company I was employed at was in the middle of a hiring freeze so management needed me to work those hours), so I'm pretty sure I could hold up my part of the deal, but making sure the management gave me the hours I needed? Don't think it'd happen.
Work 55 hrs/wk for 52 wks. at McD's for $102k - Page 2

I don't want to mention underdeveloped here, so I will just point to the hoards of Polish people that came to Britain three years ago when the exchange rate was still high and high percentage of them worked those 55 hours of menial jobs (McDonalds is not the worst place to be in trust me) for the whole year for much less. Year in the UK with perhaps 4x higher minimum wage than in Poland, massive overtimes and than go back home. Its a standard and the opportunity cost of doing a menial job in foreign country was still worth it for them | ||

One of my friends was talking about this thread with some kids we graduated from HS with. One of them was a manager at McDonalds. After talking it over with him, he said he would hook me up. This means he probably will be hooked up with the 55 hrs/week - which makes this EZ money | ||

Gotta be the shittiest job imaginable. minimum wage in mexico is $4.6 usd a DAY. i think 70% of the people here in mexico doesnt even make 50K usd a year. Most likely everyone here would take that bet | ||

Agreed, people do this all the time at manufacturing jobs, and the only thing that gets them by is having a family to support. | ||
