Forums - General Discussion - I JUST GOT A JOB!!!

I have a friend who lives in Seattle and just got a job as a parking inspector (I think you call them meter maids or something). I was happy for him, until he told me he was earning just $10 an hour. He tells me this is actually ABOVE the minimum wage in the USA. I cannot imagine how people live off that sort of money. My partner pays his 15 yr old waitresses more than that.

I was also shocked, because that sort of job is actually a pretty good paying career in Australia ( inspectors are employed by local councils). Like a salary of atleast 60k p/y I think last time I saw one advertised.

For kids my age, $10 is a dream wage. Most kids (if they can even find a job nowadays) get hired for the $8/hr minmum wage; $9 if they are lucky.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
