Minimum Wage



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

since you are saying "average" this includes the upper management and CEOs. I can't say, I don't know the information.

Now, the average new employee most definitely makes minimum wage. If you work there long enough, I could see making maybe twice minimum wage as a store manager.

Is it enough to live off of? well, sure, but you won't have much. If you are fine with that, go right ahead. Honestly you could make more by doing some other menial task. When I was 16 I used to make between $7 and $30/hour working as a steel worker and it didn't take much training at all, just a bit of good work ethics.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I don't know whether to take this seriously or not. It sounds like a well executed joke post because I'm seriously confused here. Let me answer it both ways.

Joke post: Meh...I've heard better.

Serious: Go to college. Gamestop management can barely support you for life. Forget about being a clerk.

If he/she is single and lives in a cheap apartment.  It's very easy to live off Minimum Wage, I know people that live fine that way.  Drive a nice car, have nice stuff, it just takes budgeting your money.

As for me, no way that would suffice.

Well if you just start out as employee I am pretty sure they just pay min. wage which you could barely afford a crappy apt and bills. I applied once about 5 years ago and they pretty much stated min. is all they care to pay their employees that they first hire. You might get a 50 cent raise in a few years if you are lucky which might make your wage just go down by 2-3 dollars a hour after inflation.



Less than what I make probably.

Yes, you can support yourself on minimum wage but it isn't easy and it isn't fun. Working at Gamestop is fine if you want a summer job or some extra money on the side, it isn't a career and isn't working in the games industry.

NOTE-- the above is true for any retail job you could take.

something tells me that these people you know have racked up the credit card bills and car loans.
