• i make $17.89/hour at my summer job
  • approximately $6/hour than minimum wage
  • i work 37-40 hours a week (75-80 in a pay period/2 weeks)
  • this is the maximum amount i am allowed to work under union labour laws in ontario and still be considered a "part time employee" aka someone who doesn't have to be given benefits such as sick leave and vacation time
  • 40 hours a week is a full-time job (the equivalent of 8 hours a day, 5 days a week)
  • i earn approx $7000 a summer
  • this pays my tuition.
  • only.
  • it does not pay for: books, clothes, rent, utilities, groceries, vacations, dinners/drinks, application fees, concerts, printing papers, student fees, exam centre fees, gas/transportation, or the internet and phone bills i cover
  • my job is a fantastic job
  • it does not cover my living expenses
  • fuck you to anyone who says it's possible to make your own way through university without debt because i am trying my hardest and am lucky to have a good-paying job that /still/ does not cover what i need.
