IS getting paid 18 $ hr good?  for your 1st  job?

I did a report a little over a year ago and found the average income is $11.00 per person.  I think now it's more like $12.00 per hour.\n\nI think $18/hour is pretty good, but it also depends on what type of work you are doing.  Did you go to college?  Are you doing something that is dangerous to your health or can have long term repricussions.\n\nI think you will be happy when you see your paycheck though.  I put a few resources below that you can see the charts of yearly salaries.

YES, if you work just for an hour you deserve to get only an hours pay....if you broke a contract, like say you singed a contract for 40 hours and worked just 1 and then quit, I as an employer, wouldnt pay you anything!

I work for £5.35 (minimum wage) doing heavy manual work, I get no overtime (despite regular 12 hour + shifts), no sick pay and no holiday pay.\nYou are getting a bad deal (not as bad as I am getting) and should look for a better job.  Do a course and improve your career - £200 a week will hardly pay anything these days and you need to start saving money and getting a decent pension.

Minimum wage -since you are only 17 and more than likely do not have much employment/work history  experience I doubt you'll get more than the minnimum as a starting wage but if you apply yourself,get to work on time and do your job well  usually in 90days there is a small raise.  Good Luck

It has been my experience that one employer will not ask another employer what you were making.  it does not make a difference.  the new employer will pay you what the job calls for.  If a manager hires at a hire rate of 10.00 per hour then that is what you will get.  Don't worry about it, and don't loose any sleep over it.

First you must put a firm starting point.  You have to feel that if the benifits aren't up to snuff then you can ask for more, and if it's a job that you really want then you would be ok if they offer less.  But they ask for salary requirements for a reason, and that is for a starting point not to waste your or their time.

A good tech should be paid at least 48 dollars an hour. Looks like you're making a healthy profit. Reasonable is in the eye of the beholder. I work for myself. I make the rules. I can give myself a raise on a whim. Charge whatever you like.\n.

I work for a valet parking garage near the airport. (in Jacksonville, FL) A former co-worker told me about the job, I applied here and got the job. I love my job. $900+ paychecks every so often doesn't hurt either! (I get paid every two weeks and often get lots of overtime. SO this weeks paycheck was $903.)\nI am at work now. in the middle of the night there is little work to be done so I get paid to come to Yahoo! Answers or go play the Yahoo! Games for 3 to 4 hours a night.

That should be obvious--you get what you pay for.  You want a good manager, to work long hours, you better pay a decent rate with solid benefits and bonus plan.

first, have you gotten any pay yet?\nsecond, did you recieve a pay statement with your pay(if you got paid)  either way i would go to your employer an come right out and ask what you are getting paid, you have that right, go ask, good luck to you n god bless you

Honestly, how much you are making is NONE of their business.  You don't have to answer that.  As far as asking for salary .. skip it.  You should be more concerned with the work duties than the money in the first interview.  If this is a second or third, ask away!  Good luck!

My goal in every position I have taken is to stay at least 18 months in a position.  However, if the pay is that good (and has good benefits), I'd stick it out until you find something that is a solid step in the direction you want to head in!

varies by region.  i've billed from a low of $50/hr. up to $175/hr.  $175 is definitely top tier.

you could probably be getting a starting salary of USD 3000 with perks such as housing, medical insurance, home leave... it all depends on the company you go to
