| 1330172 | 2013-02-28 09:20:00 | 16 x 40 (hours) = 640 (less tax @ say 30%) = 448 - which works out to about 1.5 x 300....so more then the min wage. | plod (107) | ||

| 1330177 | 2013-02-28 19:26:00 | Yeah I don't see how surviving on like $300 equates to the same as somebody being on $16 an hour for 40 hours per week? Then again I *have* just woken up, but I'm confused here :-/ | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1330178 | 2013-02-28 19:53:00 | Even by my standards this forum is becoming right wing in the extreme, one of the reasons I don't post as much as I used too. And I certainly don't consider myself a lefty or a greeny You sir are a serious leftie. Take the time that you are off here to consider ypur position. |

| 1330180 | 2013-02-28 22:09:00 | When I first graduated in business I was maybe a bit of a balance-right side ... I think it's reality that after retraining some just don't get the fruits. Some have gotten PR in NZ after studying here, worked as a kitchen hand, then back overseas. Some worked in call centre and pretty much stayed in that line of work or moved into processing or became a trainer. One of them got a family now and have accepted it. One got half a PhD, now just worked for a international school in teaching for maybe 38k prob now for 10yrs. There's ways to boost the money - they take in one or two boarders...Live in a large household. Live a simple life. Very little outings. Not necessarily a ghetto feeling. | Nomad (952) | ||
