Davey Posted July 2, 2009 Congratulations! It's great to see you taking the initiative to go out and work to earn your keep. Getting a job is one of the most empowering events in a person's life. By working, you control your own destiny. I applaud you for doing this. :thumbup: -Dave ToT-LUG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corvus Posted July 2, 2009 It's called "your parents." I do the same, actually. I don't have time for a job as I'm full-time volunteering. I'm not quite sure this deserves it's own topic, though. I'm fairly certain there's a "What's your job?" topic out there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrTools Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) It's called "your parents." I do the same, actually. I don't have time for a job as I'm full-time volunteering.I'm not quite sure this deserves it's own topic, though. I'm fairly certain there's a "What's your job?" topic out there... Well actualy i dont work for my parent, i work for multiple different people to get my pay and i also have to ballance it with community service to graduate so ive been workng quite a bit lately! And being able to spend your own money on LEGO is great, about two weeks ago i spent my own money at the LEGO stores grand opening and i plan to do t at the end of this month because another LEGO store is poening in my area. It just used to be that when i spent a lot at once (i ordered almot all the viking sets when they went on sale) my parents wouldnt let my by ant LEGO for months And sorry if this topic was unneccisary Edited July 3, 2009 by MrTools Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego_Warlord_8 Posted July 9, 2009 You are extremely lucky. $20 a week is outrageous! I have to wash dishes, do laundry, and cut the grass, and other random things that I really hate doing. All for $5. actually I like doing the lawn because it's real work. I can't stand house work. I'm thinking about getting a job with a stationary store or something. ~LW 8~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking about getting a job with a stationary store or something. ~LW 8~ I used to do houseork which was, cleaning th bathroom dishes (a lot of em too i have five people in my house that use dishes for EVERYTHING) sweeping dusting washing windows ect. and did not get paid at all! There would be the small occasion my parents would let me get a 10 dollar set but it was about once a month. And the weird thing is mowing used to be what my older bother did for money, and would not let me near the lawn mower but recently just decided to stop, so thats how i got the job! i have aout 70.00 right now in cash but still some more that is owed to me. P.S. < thats my favorate face! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-JD- Posted July 10, 2009 I get £5 for every time I clean my mum's or dad's car, which is around every two to three weeks. Then I get a pound for doing dishes for three days. And then there is the garden stuff, which varies. Congrats btw! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paintballman413 Posted July 10, 2009 I have a job just like you but I cut my neighbors yard to. you should ask your neighbors if they ever need their yard cut. I get paid more than 200 big ones in just a few weeks. try that. I mainly blew all the money on Lego Train stuff. lol. i am so not thrifty. good job on getting that job. ohh... and try to save some money for a car. that's what my parents tell me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UniqueBuilder Posted July 11, 2009 You are extremely lucky. $20 a week is outrageous! You obviously haven't had a real job. How about 15$ per hour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth_Legois Posted July 11, 2009 You obviously haven't had a real job. How about 15$ per hour? Thats pretty good you actually start off (at most retailers) for about $6 (aka "slaves wages") 4hrs + $6 per hr = $24 for 4 hrs of work... (*AUSD Prices) Im looking to get a job soon too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freddie Posted July 15, 2009 You obviously haven't had a real job. How about 15$ per hour? You obviously haven't had a real job. I was hired at the national hospital as a one-year temporary worker (begun 1. july), with a possible promotion to be fully hired after that. I've got a decent pay (well-paid IMO, for the work I do), two paid half-hour lunch-breaks (with the side-note that I'm still on duty under said lunchbreaks), nice co-workers and fast hours. And the nurses are cute. Getting up at four in the morning has never been so easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrTools Posted July 21, 2009 You obviously haven't had a real job. How about 15$ per hour? Well im only 15 so there isnt many jobs i can realy do other than the lawn im perfectly content with my earnings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delmar Posted July 22, 2009 problem is that if you want to make more money (like a fulltime job) you wont have as much time enjoying the money I´m in the process of starting my own company so i´m guessing i´ll have about 5min spare time for lego after that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
