I'm not really boasting about the wage... I am just happy to have a full time job with benifits. Seing as that my dads insurance droped me off their policy, even though i am a full time student. The whole cost of living thing dosent really apply to me because I still live with my parents. Also the whole pay thing is a big jump up from $6.50 an hour working like 30 hours every two weeks. So i went from $250 max every two weeks to approx $400 a week. It may not be much to most people, but for me its more than i have ever had.
