You have a summer job that pays $5.60 an hour. You get $8.40 an hour for overtime. How many hours of overtime?
Assuming that you have to work a regular 40 hour work week before overtime starts, you would make $224. So, you would need 7.5 more hours at the $8.40 an hour. . Don't forget to figure the taxes in.
Whats a great summer job?
1. Work in a movie theatre...they hire 14 yr olds, it is air conditioned, you get free movie passes and popcorn. (also, time to read while movie is playing) 2. Make a simple flyer and post on Craig's List: Clean out people's garages and show them how to (or do it yourself for them) sell their stuff on eBay.http://cgi5.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Se... 3. Make a simple flyer that you will clean dogpoop from yards/decks and walk the dog and wash it. (cheap) And petsit while they are away. 4. Make a simple flyer that you will show up at people's houses and wash their cars while they are in the driveway. (cheap)
Should I keep my summer job or focus on school?
You're eyes are closed. You have many options here.First, know that your employers are going to look out for what's best for the company - that's their job. It's not that they don't care about you, but the company has been around before you and it will be around after you and the management team needs to think that way to survive.You need to think like that, too. Except your obligation is to you.I worked while going to school and dropped out because of it. $6.70 an hour was way more worth my time than school ever was - or so I thought.You'll have another 45 years (at a minimum) to make money and it's not as important as you think. You have a unique opportunity in high school to spend time doing what you want to do. Figure out what you enjoy doing and figure out how to make a career out of it.If you wait until you're an adult to start exploring these options, you might get stuck in a dead end job (like working at a kennel) for most of your life. I have friends from high school that still work as cashiers and fast food restaurants 10 years later. In high school, they got comfortable and decided that the immediate money was more important than their future - and now they make the least money of anyone I know.Quit. Get a different job. See if your school offers co-op. Stop thinking about the health of someone else's business while your (mental) health is suffering. And never suffer for more than your salary is worth.
How do I get a good construction job over the summer?
I'm 19 years old and I've been around construction and building my whole life. I'm looking for a job over the summer. I'm proficient in finish and rough carpentry, masonry, excavating, grading, etc. You name it, I've done it. I've done lots of different types of carpentry work, I even took a class in high school where we just built a house over the school year. The only problem is I haven't worked for any big companies, all of my work was either remodeling projects by myself or work with really small companies that were run by crooks (resulting in my resignation/termination.) How can I land a job that pays $12 per hour when I have the skills but no credentials? When would be a good time to start applying for jobs to start in mid to late May? Are there any websites that would direct me toward construction companies in my area? I know small businesses are tough to find on sites like Snagajob and Monster.
I want to work on cars this summer, but I don't have a car. How can I get started?
I don't know how common it is to apply for an apprenticeship at a local service garage; that might be one way to go about it. Not having a car is a handicap, but even having one to work on will involve tools, parts, and available space which can quickly get expensive. Maybe another approach is to spend the summer studying, and make use of Internet resources including YouTube's many excellent videos to further your theoretical knowledge until you have access to a car to work on.
What do I need to become a successful bartender?

Will a summer job/internship in high school help one get into a good college?
It can't hurt, but the biggest things to consider are:Is the job/internship in something I am interested in or will learn from? There's a decent chance the job won't have that big of an impact on your college decision, so it's important to make sure you don't completely waste your time. I think that the relevance of the work to your passions matters more in general and to the admissions officer than how amazing whatever it was you actually did. I spent my summers working in a computational biology lab, and subsequently applied to colleges with the best comp-bio programs. As a result I had a specific reason for why these college were a good fit for me. My comp-bio research wouldn't have meant nearly as much if I were to apply to places without any program in it. If anything, it might have hurt my app since they would be confused why I would want to attend their school. By sharing this I do not imply that you need to do something relevant to your future studies. I have many friends who worked as a barista or pizza delivery man and built their own experience based on exploration of the world and meting new people rather than a particular passion.Will I be a high school coffee-slave or actually get to do meaningful work? Some of my friends who also worked in labs ended up spending the majority of their time being forced to do "grunt work". These jobs were generally the least productive since my friends learned very little, did not have fun, and had very little to write about the experience on their college apps. AVOID THESE JOBS.Finally, will you get to know your employer well? If college-chances boosting is still your main concern, it really helps if you get to know your employer or mentor really well so they can write you a strong college recommendation. My college counselor once told me that at the most competitive colleges, since everyone has great SATs/grades and many people write killer essays, the best insight into these students is what their mentors and teachers say about them. Also, getting paid is nice. Let me know if you need a follow up.
