I don't like you very much. Please post a lot less.

No, I know you were joking. My point still stands.
I've worked the graveyard shift here for about 15 years now.
It's not easy and a lot of the times I'm confused about what
day it is. I'll never get used to it like some people here I know.
They stay awake all night with no trouble at all. Some times I think I'm going to collapse because I'm so sleepy. But I like third
shift. Second shift sucks for obvious reasons, and first shift also
suck because all the bosses are around and I can't get on the
Internet like I am now ().
Graveyard shifts aren't all bad, from what I understand my mom makes like 24 an hour normally, but when she works the dreaded graveyard shift she makes 32 an hour! (she works at a hospital or assassinates people or something, I can't remember)
i make 5.50 and hour doing programming for philips research...thats minimum wage her ein NYS...i work sorta part-time ish..whenever i have time i just go in, like during breaks in school. and its like real stuff too..thats why i hate working there..but otherwise its pretty cool, i dont mind at all. its a awesome place to work tons of cool people and lots of freedom.

You get paid minimum wage for coding? That sucks.
If you ever need a hug, just ask.
My first job was 9 years ago when I was 13. I was washing dishes for £1.50/hr (times by about 1.4 to get the dollar value, I'll let you do the maths). There ain't no minimum wage here for youngsters.
Then I worked at a pub for a few years, waitering and washing dishes. Money was better £3.50 - £4.00 but I was a couple of years older by then. The best monkey job I did was on a kiosk at a putting green. Just sat there selling ice creams and taking money for putting. Had free rounds whenever I wanted, cool. Money wasn't quite as good as the pub, can't remember what it was.
And you know what? I saved every penny of it so that I could come to university. That's why I don't give the time of day to people who moan about tuition fees.
It's capitalism, deal with it.
Yeah..damn economy. It started out as a paid internship though, but now it's more of a part time jobOriginally posted by CheesyMoo

I think it's good stuff. I mean you are still at school right? Most school kids get paid poor wages to wash dishes. At least you get poor money for doing something you like and that you could actually mention on your CV.
FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST! THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, I AM FREE AT LAST!
Today was my last day at Arbys...now I don't have a job.
Away.
Yeah that's true...it's mainly the reason I'm not leaving...good experience and all.Originally posted by minesweeper

Well see people get paid minium wage for unskilled labor, like washing dishes, picking fruit or whatever.Originally posted by the Wookie

Coding takes knowledge, skill, education etc., so if you had to learn it all I think that a minimum wage payement is crap.
From the employers point of view, I would think that they would see anyone else could get an easier asembly line job for the same pay, so they would pay you more. That's the entire point of getting an eduction, to get higher pay.

Or simply the pursuit of knowledge...
Away.
I agree...it's crap...but I'm not really in a position to demand for more pay or anything. I don't need the money either..but that's not really the point. I've asked, and the funding is really tight...over 200 people have gotten laid off. In fact, the entire department in which I work except 3 people got laid off (so about 9/10 people)Originally posted by CheesyMoo

If you're wondering I work for Philips at their NY research plant...who get all their money from outside sources, like grants etc..so it's pretty tight
