When did you start working?

[Guess_Who]

I realize reading this thread how lazy we the spanish are. To be honest here almost nobody works while studying. Unless the parents doesn't have money enough or it is a summer job.

Now I finished the studies so I will start searching my first job, yes first. Maybe this is weird in another countries....

$22/hr?!! you said you work at a grocery store right?? That's pretty damn good dude.

It probably pays that much since Norway is one of the most expensive countries to live in.

This, plus its standards are pretty high. I think Norway is the 2nd or 3rd richest in the world.


It's nothing to what I can earn if I work at a bigger store/company though. I hope to do that soon, since I now have experience working in a store.

I'm 22 but I haven't worked a day in my life. It simply isn't worth it considering how much they pay you for a "summer" job in here. A permanent one is a different discussion.

How much do they pay?

Dude $13.5 and $22 an hour! If you are in America then I'm very impressed. Otherwise well at least you're enjoying the game and the driving around!

I think, in dollars, it's like 11$ per shift. Now, the food and liquor in here is chipper than let's say in the US, but all the cool stuff like clothing, iphones, laptops, music, dvds etc. is even a bit more expensive because the shops are paying customs fees, and also the choice of products is limited. So unless your family is in a bad position and has trouble obtaining the minimal necessities, it's really not worth your efforts.

wow $22/hr is a lot for a grocery store. I wonder how much is the difference of prices between Norway and some expensive cities here like Barcelona or Madrid. How much is a bottle of pepsi or coke there for example? I searched myself, Norway is certainly expensive.

Is that 22$ before or after taxes

Before. I don't remember how much taxes I have to pay, but it's not much.



A friend of mine makes 33$ plus bonuses. She said if I give her my CV she might be able to give me a job there.

maybe the pimp wouldnt want to hire guys though i kid, i kid...

I found a job for £15/hour here, and as long as i earn less than £6000 in a year i dont have to pay taxes (I think).. doubt i will get it though, errbody here is trying to get a job for the summer now.

So now its time for plan b, steal some beats, get a shite name, talk with an accent and grab on my nuts, then become a world famous rapper.

On the contrary, it's weird that you'll have a job at all... Who will cook, clean and raise the children?

aah, the old 'females belong in the kitchen jokes'...
dont do it again, Guess_Who is crying in the sandwich that she is making for me because of that post

Out of curiosity, are there any footballers here? I dont mean big teams but just paid footballers?
