Introduce your job/studies

[BlueYoshi97]

I get not more than around 4 euros for the newspapers every week, but if you think that's bad, sometimes I also have to deliver folders (read: spam) and additions to the newspaper. Which takes almost as long as walking the newspapers themselves (so that makes it 2 times as long as normal), which give me around 50 cent for them. If you are not familiar with euros, just know that I have a reason to skip half the people every week. >=D

Would it make you rage if I told you I get paid 3 times as much for one hour of lounging behind the computer?

Well, right now I don't really need the money yet and I just do something so I won't have everyone around me complaining that I don't have a job. And this is the 'shortest' (only one day of working, and not every evening). I applied for working in a supermarket once, but I screwed around on the Job Interview (on purpose, I didn't want to work there at all).

The only time I can earn cash is at Christmas when I go around dumping Happy New Year cards. Last time there was one woman who didn't wanna give me any money because she "promised her daughter to give the money to her that year, because she walked the newspapers before me (which is untrue by the way)". She lives in one of the most classiest houses you can think off, in the most expensive street of the hood. So I accidentally forgot to give her a newspaper a couple of times. That's the way of the world.

Would it make you rage to tell you I get paid 4-5 times more per hour to ask for money behind a counter?

You know the rules frank

Actually when you get that much, 50% goes to tax and over a certain limit the rest of the money 62% goes to tax...

[Mayco]

Studies:

- Currently: High school, studying "Culture & Society". It's pretty shitty, because it has to do with art and shit. I picked it because I don't have to do maths, and I totally suck at maths. I simply can't afford to fail school. I do have the subject "Management and Organisation" which I want(ed) to continue with, and go for the same study Jeremiah is going for, "International Business and Management" in college. Unfortunately this also involes maths, and that makes it difficult/uncertain.

- Following studies: No idea. If Managament and Organisation goes well, I'll follow the International Business and Management study. If not, I really have no idea.

Job:

- Currently: Working at McDonalds for the minimum wage of €3,91 an hour (minimum wage for an 18-year old in Holland). Although the payment sucks, it's a fun job with lots of nice people.

- Followed by: Hell I dunno, anything can happen.
