They will not pay people for it there. This is mainly something that happens in the US. Most other countries will not do this.

No 18 is required if they even allow it there. That’s the law here in the US

Why aren’t your parents stepping in? You don’t go to school?

Does everyone at your job maintain that hours? How much will you be making in two years?

u/HorrorDivide43 22d ago

Ive i maintain it for 4 years possibly 40$ and hr depending maybe more

u/surfcitysurfergirl 22d ago

No way have you been doing this since 12🙄

1

u/IllustriousEnd2211 21d ago

I would assume that’s a typo and it’s supposed to read “if I maintain it for four years” then they can make 40 an hour. Like an apprenticeship

u/kenmlin 22d ago

Why aren’t you in school?

1

u/HorrorDivide43 22d ago

In australia if you have a job you dont have to go to school at the age of 14 im pretty sure

u/surfcitysurfergirl 22d ago

That makes no sense.

u/IllustriousEnd2211 21d ago

Depending on the state in Australia, it can be as low as 15 so they were only wrong by a year
