Demolition, framing, and some tilework. I also tried my hand at drywall hanging... Which I didn't like one bit. I do construction *maybe* 8 hours a month. I don't remember the last time I did it though.
Sounds better than concreting and 'erection' of structures.

Decent pay or total crap?
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Like 12 bucks an hour. Not too bad.

Coupled with my current job at $10.30, and the Forest Service @ $13.00 + Overtime

After this fire season, I may actually have enough money to finally get my own place. Dreams...

Sounds good. When I was in construction pay hit probably about $16 USD (Aussie dollar was worth about 90 US cents at the time) an hour, with at least 10 hours a day. That was during the mineral boom in a mining town though. The company I worked for is almost dead now.

I'll be making roughly 40k to start, 50-60k after 3 years, and more later.

That's enough for me.

I'm just trying to get an ordinary job right now, but only to make enough to get into college so I can start my career.

work at best buy. commission pay. Of course, you'll have to live with the fact that you convince naive buyers to get overpriced warranties for things like portable CD players. Good luck with that.

I've had my current job as a service desk monkey for a year now. Another job I had for 5 years (longest I ever had the same job ) was for a hockey team in Helsinki, but I didn't even get paid for it. It had its perks. Saw games, met players, got drunk with players, got some hockey gear and so on. I quit after the last season that ended a few weeks ago for my team. Sadly it takes too much of my free of charge time Wish they would sign me up for work for real.

Nothing wrong with minimum wage, earning over $12,000 in a year working 1 day week isn't too bad.

mean, medium or mode?

Minimum wage could theoretically be classified as 'average'

Stacking shelves at the local supermarket.
Ohhh, but I did work Sundays and was casual so got +95% in penalties. But then again my base rate was also only 90% of 'adult' minimum wage.

Wait, so minimum doesn't equal above average?

You must have been up all night working that one out.
lol, exactly what I was thinking.

This reminds me of a former friend that told me that his 2-year degree in IT from a tech school was the exact same as the bachelor in IT that I was studying and we would both end up making the same amount of money after school and the bachelor wouldn't really help me in life ...

The minimum amount an employer can pay you for your services. There's a federal and a state, no states can go lower than the federal.
