[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid - now 20 - worked last summer at a job basically filling bags of ice and loading them on trucks.   He was paid an hourly rate and then “bonuses” based largely on production.  So - x dollars per loaded skid kind of thing.  He spent most of the time last summer working the 3rd shift, so basically 11:00 pm to 7:00 am.  Terrible for family and social life but good for $$$.  He made about $25 and hour.  He got a call from the facilities manager asking if he would come back as the 2nd shift supervisor (basically it would be him and two other guys).  The pay would be approx $40 an hour as “supervisor” but it is 3:00 - 11:00.  So - not as bad but it is Mon - Fri (Sat and Sun off).

My initial view is that is not bad. It’s “okay” resume stuff. 2 years same employer and second summer was a bit of a promotion.  The money is very good. There is a lot of basically required overtime for 4th of July weekend and lead up to that but not much more than that week leading up to the 4th.  So - my parent view is “take it”.  Down side though is that it sucks for social life as it is hard labor so he would not be getting off work at 11 pm and meeting up with friends.  It is work - come home - eat - shower - bed.  Get up 9-10 am.  Eat.  Workout.  Hand/eat for a couple hours then go back to work.   Not much time for a social life.
