[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

First, thanks all for the feed back! Of course, I soon realized after I posted this that my W-2 was split up.

Also.. I understand wanting to be paid under the table, but there are huge consequences if you're ever caught. I've been paid legally for the last four or five years, and not much has changed, except for health insurance. (My employers also cover the whole cost of a rather pricey insurance plan.)

It's also a plus because people need things like apartments, houses, credit cards, loans, or cars. Having a job on paper helps that a lot, especially if you're single.

It was a bit more of a challenge in terms of finding a position that allowed me to take home what I needed to be comfortable. But I found a position where I was able to net $700/wk.

On the flip side, I'm looking for my next position to be off-the-books so that I can have cheaper health insurance and more financial aid for school. It's certainly not the lawful thing to do, but unfortunately education is not exactly affordable!

In short, I can understand both sides of the argument. Generally, however, I'd advocate to get paid on-the-books.
