I May Finally Have My Job


So a friend of the family that buys animals every now and then inherited a giant herd of cattle from someone. I was told of this by my dad so I'm a little skeptical about it. But, because they got a giant herd and it's hard to manage they may hire me and my friend to assist on the farm. Currently they're hiring convicts so us asking about a job would be somewhat haven-like for hiring. Only problem is that it'll be on minimum wage which is a little annoying, especially since it'll be at the most 18 hours a week. I was reading up on it as usual and assuming we're being paid in checks and not under the table 18 hours a week is the max. With the minimum wage of $7.25 in VA I'd make about 130 or so dollars a week. I could really use the extra cash especially since my candy sales aren't totally dependable. For example, on paper I make 60 bucks a week when I sell well. Only problem is that some people I give it to on credit, others I give it to for their lunch and such. Then there's thefts, yes I've experienced thefts, about like 4 bucks worth a week. So I make around 40 bucks a week assuming I sell well. I've only had 2 weeks that played out where I started with 4 brand new boxes and ended with none. And now because my friends and I have drained the pool of available money I don't get as many sales. If I wanted to though I could go to school with 2 boxes and that manages to get me a lot of sales because people notice the 2 boxes at lunch. I normally would sell about 20 pieces a day but when I brought 2 to school I sold most of the two, which were brand new. Of course if I were to get a job I would continue selling candy. I need money for a really nice set of rave gloves and for my own petty things.
