Re: Re: Pay (Am I getting screwed)

yes you are. You should be getting at least $10 an hour. unless you have no idea what you are doing taking into consideration your lack of experience and age that is. And assumeing you arent doing anything really complicated.

$150 AU is about $75 US :-| ----- Original Message ----- From: "Monty" <monty3@hotmail.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2002 8:52 AM Subject: [PHP] Re: Pay (Am I getting screwed) Not sure what $150/Australian translates to in US$, but, it sounds like you are getting screwed. You should be making double that per day at least if you're doing a lot of heavy-duty programming.

I'm employed by a small business setting up unix servers and scripting a webhosting system for them. I'm only 17 years old, but I've finished year 11 and I have my MCSE (Not that it means a lot) I'm getting paid $150 Australian per week, working from 9-5 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Personally I think this is a 'screwover' situation. I've tried talking to my boss about it but he's the 'I know everything'

and

'you're only 17' type... What do you guys think of this? What's a reasonable pay for this amount of PHP coding, for a 17 year old? Do bear in mind that I'm scripting an entire webhosting businesses site. Thanks!!! Liam
