How does this pay sound to you?

I%26#039;m 16 and I just got a job as a lifeguard a day camp. I%26#039;m working monday-friday for 8 weeks. I%26#039;ll be receiving 2300 dollars. How does that sound to you?



For 8 weeks, and 5 days per week, that pay breaks down into:


-$287.50 per week


Assuming it is an 8 hour work day, that would equal $7.19 per hour.


Then you have to take taxes and stuff like that out, so it would probably be around $6 something (give or take, depending on where you live and tax rates) you would be netting.


So at a guaranteed $6 per hour, at 40 hours per week, that is $240.00 per week, and for 8 weeks it would be a total pay of around $1920.00





Thats not bad. Do you have to travel far to work each day? If so, take a certain % out of the pay for gas. At 16, thats not a bad job to get you into the workforce.




sounds ok,, just a little short of $300.00 per week. Hopefully you are only working 8 hours per day.
