Should I goto this job I got offered to, I have a B.A degree.

the degree means you are more diciplined. You're more educated, you know how the world works. I didn't say I deserve more money than everyone else. I just believe the drop out and the graduate shouldn't get paid the SAME. You forget 75% of what you learned anyway after 6 months of graduating.

how are you more disciplined? How does a sheltered college kid who has his parents pay for everything know more about the world than a HS dropout who has been through the ringer? Having an unrleated degree that does nothing for the job does not mean you should be paid more. What does your degree give you that someone without it would not understand? What insight did you recieve about driving a van?

I communicate better, have a better temper, I can calculate and use math better, and more knowledgable. It's like saying who's most likely to smoke? a graduate or drop out? yes the graduate might smoke but a majority of degree holders don't smoke according to surveys.

All of your ridiculous logical leaps do not add up to some mystical truth. I hate to say it, but you clearly have NO idea how the world works (based on your posts in this thread), and your entitled attitude will win you no position or friends in the real working world that has been undergoing an almost decade long recession.

There are MASSIVELY qualified people with 20+ years of experience in relevant fileds out there begging for any job they can find and you're sitting here telling us what you deserve fresh out of college? And you have the gall to tell us you know how the world works?

Do yourself a favor, check your attitude, take the job, and bust your balls doing it because there are 14 million other people out there who will take it seriously if you don't.

Here's a little background about me. I'm 21 years old with a Bachelor's degree. My degree is in criminal justice. I have my own house (my mom bought it), and I have my own car that's pretty new. I paid off all my tuition fees already and I have no student loans. I do not have trouble paying bills because I rent out some rooms in my house. I applied for this delivery job and I went for the interview yesterday. You basically drive a big Ford van and deliver buckets and buckets of fish to warehouses and supermarkets. You must load and unload the heavy buckets yourself. You work alone and it's from 6am-2pm Mon-Sat. I applied for the job because well I thought it'd be a fun relaxing job, also I did not think I would get a reply. I do not need the money to pay anything. I can tell this will be a very difficult job that will require a lot of manual labor. During the interview he ran my license and it showed i have a clean record so he said I'm good for the job. They pay $10 and hour and $10.50 after 3 months. Should I go ahead and accept this job offer?

Frankly i'd love to get a job with physical labour (since it would be basically like going to the gym, except you get paid at same time; 2 birds 1 stone), but most manual labor jobs are low paying.

Then why in the tapdancing Turkish waitresses are you even considering this job? You have it leagues easier than me, that's for sure and you already generate revenue from being a landlord of sorts.

I wish I had a car...

The real question is if TC already has his hands on how the world works with his degree, then why is he applying for a white collar job? Use your damn degree to get a job in your set field... oh yeah right! He forgot 75% of what he learnt. Good on you TC welcome to the glamorous life of delivering fish.

What does that have to do with driving a delivery van? You can calculate and use math better? Dude, you got a CJ degree...those are one of the easiest to obtain and have nothing to do with mathematics. Not to mention it's completely irrelevant to the job you're applying for.

If the dropout can get the job done and work for less, then yes, I'm going to hire the dropout. You don't deserve it anymore than he does.

I wouldn't hire you for any position ever because of you're attitude. You should probably work on that if you want to get anywhere in life.

Be a cop its good pay and you are old enough!

alright I just called him and told him that the job is far from my house (20 mins driving) on top of hard manual labor. He said what's holding you back I told him the compensation. I asked him for $13, 14 an hour at least, and he said maybe he can do $12. He has to ask his boss and get back to me either later today or tommorrow.

Do you have a job right now? If not then take it but dont stop looking.

Considering he work and hours involved, you may be able to find something that pays much, much better. But it never hurts to hve a job on your resume. So it may be worth it until something better comes along (and it never hurts to have a pay cheque, either.)

Unless you're working from home, it doesn't get much better than that :|

I personally would take the job. It will continually get harder and harder to find work with the way things are going in this country.

he just called me back and said he'll do $11.50 starting, then $12 after 2, 3 months

Shows that he is willing to work with you, more than I can say for a lot of employers.

F*** delivering the fish. You deserve to be in the manager's position. I would talk to the manager about that.

With a degeree in criminal justice, that sounds like a good job.

Take the job until you find something better that's in the field of your degree.

What were you planning to do when you began studying criminal justice? I know that the Law Enforcement Industry isn't doing a ton of hiring right now, but with a Bachelors in the field it seems like you'd be a great candidate for a Police Officer Position. If you haven't had a job before, however, that may pose a problem.Most places who hire people with degrees expect them to have some work experience (whether in the field or not.)

With all that being said, the job market is tough and you need to make money and get work experience in the mean time. So, if you have the time and feel like you want to start working, take the job. Just don't settle at this job as its far from a good one (in terms of pay for someone with a degre. I don't have a degree and make more than 10.50 an hour).

so $10 as a compensation is pitiful you're saying right

Not at all. I started at my current company at $10 an hour. I may more now due to management status, but I didn't know that I was going to move up. I'm just saying that since you have your degree, you don't want to be stuck at a dead end job with low pay (for someone with a degree). FYI, I'm in school part time now, pursuing an administation of justice degree, and I've seen the job market, so I'm familiar with your position.

I took the job, I start Monday. He told me he'll do $11.50 to start and $12 after I get better. I'm not looking forward to the $12, cause I don't know when he'll think of my performance as good. Anyone know how much do I actually get in my pocket after taxes, at $11.50 an hour?

Depends on the State, Sure the Federal tax will be the same, but State tax varies State to State.
