A single university course cost me $2k, how many hours does a college student need to work at Starbucks to make that? On average they probably make $8.50 an hours. Subtract 20% for taxes.

So after taxes of working 40 hours a week for a month you will take home about, $1,100 Then you have to pay for rent. A one bedroom costs about $750 where i live. ($350 left over) Plus car insurance, $100 ($250 left over) for the cheapest kind, Cell phone $50 ($200 left over) , utilities $100 ($100 leftover) This isn't even going to include food. So you have a hundred bucks for ramen every day of the week now. Save $50 a month and it would take 400 months to pay for a single university course. And I just went to Eastern Michigan University. My grandfather worked each summers to pay for his two semesters a year at college. You can't do that anymore. There is something deeply wrong with our system.

I make $20 an hour, and that took me 17 years. My coworker, just started, He Started at $11 an hour.... This is in 2017. I started at $10 an hour 17 years ago. Wages are so stagnant it's crazy. What this kid does for his wage is not right. He'll never be able to pay his taxes at the end of the year, because he's making survival money. It breaks my heart.

The only upside to this is that it's corporate welfare, where now they make so little that they are literally eligible for Medicaid and food stamps. So the tax payers end up paying for the corporations skimping their workers out.

This is just a ramble, it's not aimed at you at all. I'm just concerned that there is such a thing called a dead end job.
Starbucks actually help pay for college for their employees. I know you just used it as an example though

I guess it depends on the felony charge. I mean theft from your place of employment will look bad at ANY job

Good evening everyone, how are things going today?

I am okay. I slept from like 11pm to 7am yesterday and then again for another 8 hours or so. Went to the store to get some groceries, just got back and cleaned my piercings. Now just gonna roam the internet and such. Not much to do. My hair clippers came in the mail today. I will pick them up on Monday.
Thanks for this!

Lol I remember I made a few friends when they were first admitted. They weren't allowed outside yet so I gave them a lighter and cigarettes so they could smoke in the bathrooms XD

Don't get caught though.. Would be nice to see you out of there.

It was only a misdemeanor and it’s not like those kind of details are in the report....she was just giving friends a discount by underringing she didn’t exactly break into a till. My point is major retailers don’t look kindly on crime, you have to work for independents.

It’s not easy seeing a future with the bf anymore if he’s willing to stay at the same job for the rest of his life due to his felony. Especially if he wants to have kids before marriage.

Doesnt seem like our future goals line up even though we both want kids and to get married.

People are telling me its to early think about this but we are considering moving in this next year probably. And i dont really want to move in with someone who our future does match up really.

I think that’s wise...the more intertwined your lives become the more difficult it is to make those decisions.....
