I got a job . . . finally. Haha, it took a while. But starting monday, i'll be working at the local 'Rack Room Shoes.' One day me and my brother came upon the place and noticed the 'now hiring' sign, so I figured i'd give it a shot. That same day an assistant manager actually told me to come back today at 10am to meet the boss. I show up, nice shoes, nice shirt, nice pants, and we talk. As far as interviews go, this was easily the best one i've had for new work. It lasted almost an hour. He talked about the store, rules, blah blah blah. I asked him questions, told him I was very intrested. He also said if your a shy person this wouldnt be work for you, but he could tell I was far from it. After all was said and done, he asked if I had anymore questions, then said, 'So, how about you start monday? Could you do that?" 
The pay is at $6.65, which is pretty decent. I mean, with 40 hours a week its gonna pay some bills and such, so i'm pretty happy about that. My hours, 1 - 9 pm. Not bad at all. And another plus is that ni'm only the third guy in the store, the rest our girls, nice. So for the next few days i'll be able to sit on my ass and relax, without the guilt. But on another note, i'd like to thank everyone who posted words of confidence. I really appreciated all of them. |

shoe discounts?
awesome on getting a job. You're right, 6.65 isn't a billion, but you're also right, it'll get bills paid, which is important.
good on you man. |

Your minumum wage is low. We get paid like $7.25 I think. That is if that's the minumum wage there.
It's good news though. Any money is good money when your jobless. |

Wow, minimum wage almost doubled from when I was young. (I didn't realized it varied from state to state, though. Thanks for that knowledge, Zach.) I think we got $3.35 an hour.
Congrats on the new job, HTG!! |

| I think there is a federal minumum too but states can go above that and set there own, but you have to be above the federal limit. At least I think that's how it works I'm not positive, but I remeber someone telling me that. |

Nope, you don't have to be above the federal limit.
http://www.dol.gov/esa/minwage/america.htm
Green States with minimum wage rates higher than the Federal
Yellow States with no minimum wage law
Blue States with minimum wage rates the same as the Federal
Red States with minimum wage rates lower than the Federal
Brown American Samoa has special minimum wage rates
There you have it. |

I'm taking the risk and using the quote, safety seal or not.
Yeah, I guess I already knew that moving to Ohio was a bad move. Although I do own property there (good for taxes) so there's a minute chance I could end up there again. Sad, very sad.
I didn't know that Kansas was a bad place to move to though. |
