I'm a bit younger than some of you folks. I was 15 in 1978 and minimum wage went from $2.90 to $3.10 while I was at my first job. By the time I started at the Shell station, I think it paid $3.50?
I didn't stay there long though. When I graduated and went full-time at the machine shop that was $14.01 and the Monday after I turned 18, I got bumped to 2nd shift
I hated that, but it was an extra $0.35 shift-differential.

Learn from the mistakes of others, you won't live long enough to make them all yourself...
Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....
The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
