im paid almost $30 per hour for working in a warehouse, overtime makes that like either 40-45$ or $55-60 depending on when.. this is starting salary in a job with no training or previous knowledge required. maybe its a couple dollars less now cause the dollar is stronger compared to the norwegian crown than it used to be | ||

You don't see many 18 years old having my job though, seeing as most people want people below 18 for the lower costs. 23$ is not very high tbh. I have many friends racking in up 40$/h under ideal conditions. Okay, perhaps too ideal: we're talking a night shift saturday night at a club on a national holiday. The kid made 350$ that night + tips so he was happy  I have a friend with a saturday/sunday job at the hospital, where he earns 33-35$/h, 8 hour shifts. The hours are horrible, hence the high pay. No sane 18-year old would work for less than 20$/h in Denmark, we're to spoiled that way.And, yes, the dollar is low, making the wages seem higher than they really are. For comparisson we pay 10$ for a large BigMac meal  | ||

Either you have gotten a raise with experience, or just lucky :p. My part-time work is as a bartender and i earn $20 per hour. And this is the rate set by the goverment as minimal-wage. For people above 20, with unskilled labour. I might be wrong. On topic; I would NEVER work at MC-D, that fryoil smells so nasty, and it does stick to anything. And the heat.. No thanks. | ||

At least it's a job where you can talk to other people and some different stuff happens each day. Much better than say, an assembly line worker. imo | ||

The concept works pretty nicely, and poverty of working population virtually doesn't exist (real poverty experienced in developing countries. People bitch about being poor here when they can only go to pub once a week and have only one TV ;o). The result is high minimum wage, lower average wage than US and more expensive basic services. | ||

There are certain fees which add up to a certain percentage taxation for this bracket (don't remember the actual number but it's low), but the bottomline is that for the lowest percentage the tax burden is minimal. Above an annual income of 50k $ a year the taxes are high tho, at least 40% as you point it. But a McDonalds employee would never have to pay 40% in taxes. The point I'm trying to make is that noone can make a living of 7.5$/h despite paying no taxes whatsoever, assuming an average 37h work-week. I can easily make a living with half that amount? | ||

Working 55-60 hours in a mindless job is easy; however the people this would be easy for WOULDNT be in a shithole like this(at least full time) because they have the motivation to continue their studies and get ahead in life. | ||

No....working 55-60 hours in a job that requires you to be standing full time, not to mention the strain on your back from mopping, washing dishes, etc. These kind of jobs are harder on someone than say, working behind a desk. | ||

Having worked in unskilled labour for four years, I don't think I could do this. I was working 20hr weeks and I felt like stabbing myself in the eye. You meet cool people which is good, but the work drives you insane. Especially 55hrs/week for a year. Does the bet have allowances for (genuine) sick days? | ||
