In the coal mine

In celebration of the House passing the minimum wage bill, I thought it would be fun to recount all of the different jobs I have had, and what my wages for those jobs were. From the top:

• Detroit News Paperboy - Roughly $25-$35 a week (12-13 Years old)


• Country Party Store 2 - $4.00 


• Barrister Gardens - $5.00 


• McDonald’s - $4.25 to $5.15 (Thanks minimum wage hike!) (16-17 Years old)


• World Of Science - ??? I can’t remember!


• B. Dalton Booksellers - $5.15


• Kmart Resource Center - $7.00 - $7.50 


• Babbages/Gamestop - $7.25 (I think I turned 21 while working here)


• Meijer’s - Don’t remember, I quit after training.


• Five Brothers Mortgage Services - $7.25


• Oakland University Transportation Dept. - $7.25


• Enterprise Rent-a-Car - $7.50 to $8.25 (I turned 25 in 2004)


• Defenders - Secret!

I think that is all of them. If you can recall any others let me know.
