[quote=Anonymous]That a "raise" can be an extra $0.15 an hour. This was the raise I got in a retail job in college (went from $7.25 to $7.40). I was told I would get a raise at the end of my trial period, and with the glowing review I had, I expected a little more. I had to wait until the end of the semester to switch jobs, because I wouldn't have enough to live on if I spent a week training for another job (my parents could not afford to contribute to college at all). Also, that you often need credit to get certain jobs. I didn't apply for my first credit card until my Jr. year of college. I was too afraid of debt and didn't really understand how things worked. To work in retail, you had to have the store credit card, so they gave me one with a $100 credit limit. A few community college classmates told me that they were turned down for jobs at the same store because they didn't have credit (probably a white privilege moment for me). Fortunately, the waitressing job I got next payed my college living expenses quite nicely. [/quote]
