OverlordMcGeek Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I got asked my a sibling who is going to be joining the workforce(or taking part in mah cousins "business" if they don't find anything in a year...or one of the banks my dad has) soon and is questioning the effort to put into distance driven to a work. I think the car she was given has an mpg of 30. They want to see if he/she is going to be able to get a job on her own(my idea as a social experiment [no I'm not evil stfu plebs] to test the market) before bringing her in to any of our families businesses. Almost forgot. MW is currently $10.00/hourly here. So dudes and dudettes. I am arguing 30 minutes for one that I like and no more than 10 minute drive for a job I hate. Roommate says no more than an hour wage. Cousins say they'll toss cash at her every once-in-a-while and get a handidown Prius... Friends from all sides say she should get a Truck Camper and forget about society. Sarcasm is abundant around us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abenoki Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) 10/hr on a 30mpg vehicle assuming a 13gal tank maximum (casual) drive time I'd say is 1hr. Thats only a little less than I make as a shift lead in Illinois and assuming your tax rates isn't outrageous is a pretty solid min wage job. Took me 11yrs in the workforce to break 9.50/hr (not for lack of trying). That and all the perks you mention of family helping them here and there and what not, count those blessings and if a job is within an hour drive they shouldn't pass it if they want it. Some people sweat blood for less and a longer drive distance (not saying I do mind you) Edited September 6, 2016 by Echoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give her your answer. On 9/7/2016 at 3:49 AM, --21st-- said: Thats...ugh a pretty well payed job..for a "minimum" wage. It will increase to 15/hourly by 2020 in California.
