Sometimes I don't always get paid by the hour. But for my current job, I am getting paid $12.50 an hour. That's a big step for someone who was just working minimum wage, just a year ago.
That's about $3000 a month. Unfortunately, I will only be working for a month, unless it turns into a summer job. That would be nice, but I can't really depend on it. I am actively searching out for my next job.
I am beginning to learn how to manage my money, now that I have future plans set out. I can't just go out and buy things that I want... the other day I was going to buy a leather jacket, but I declined, thinking I need to save up for more important things.
I will probably be getting a more hands-on job, that I have little to no experience in. It's going to be hard to get a job here, mid-summer, especially one that will pay decent. I will probably get stuck with a shitty minimum wage job.
With these freelance web design jobs, it is easy for me to set out a price; I know what I am doing; I have certification for what I am doing, and I have done it for more than 2 years. I could probably charge more if I wanted to, haha... but I need to find another job, and it will probably a learning experience for me.
Just wondering if you have any tips for little old me. Words of wisdom. Maybe about starting wage, and things like that.
