You hit the nail on the head with where my frustration is coming from. I'm working on two majors and a minor at college and am trying to pump in as much extracurricular activity at the university as I can and any time I spend at work is an hour I could be spending accomplishing something with more meaning in my life. However, due to financial constraints in my life, I don't any other option but to continue to work. This job is tenfolds better than what I've had previously, but the fact is I AM giving them the best years of my life and I feel it's worth more than $9.50
Yep. I agree completely. I only get to be 22 once, and I value my time quite a bit. An interesting thing to consider is that 30 hours a week at $10/hr is the same as 15 hours a week at $20.. with one important distinction - you have twice as much free time.
