Wage Advice..

[That Guy]

if you can work the weekend shift at a restaurant, that's the best money. you've got to be friendly and have a good memory and be willing to let people treat you like crap though.

I'm not sure who this is directed to, because That Guy was the one with the suggestion that he get a job at a restaurant and be able to take crap well. I'm a little confused. But incidentally, during high school I used to caddy at Merion Golf Club. It's a real prestigious club with some real snotty members. And one day I caddied for a member with a major reputation for being a jerk. I made a suggestion on a certain shot, he scoffed, hit it the way he wanted and threw his club at my feet. So I threw his bag at his feet and said OK chief, carry it yourself. I then walked home (my house was half mile away, so it was a great way to exit). The next week I talked to my high school swim coach and he gave me a job lifeguarding at his summer pool. That paid a lot less than caddying, but I didn't have to deal with any crap from people. At that point in my life, I was much happier with making less cash. Now it's a different story now that I'm out in corporate America in a stuffy finance office. So GManc, I'd say unless you really need the cash bad, just take the job that's easy on you. I see you're listed at 20 yrs old, you have time to get all serious later in life. If you stick with this current job, it never hurts to ask for more money. The worst they can say is no, now get back to work.
