My first job at a market research company pays £6.45 an hour plus 12% holiday pay. My other job working at a guesthouse pays £6.50 an hour. It's quite decent.
I now make $25 per hour as a lawyer's clerk, and $70 per hour as a private tutor. Then, I have a permanent deal writing novels on top of that, but for a commission of a few thousand dollars per manuscript.
As a cashier I get $10.60/hour and am now eligible for dental and medical benefits as well as vacation and sick pay. $10/hr is the minimum wage where I live.
I currently am paid the British Columbia Minimum, which is $10.25. But that's only a new wage, just over a year ago. When I first started working, for my first 500 hours, it was legal to pay me $6.00 an hour. After that, I was being paid $8.25, which was the lowest minimum wage in all of Canada. (BC you suck.) But then someone new, I don't know who, was put in charge of wages in Canada and in November of 2011 the wage went up to $9.50. And then finally, in May of 2012, the wage in BC was moved to $10.25 and "student wage", which was the $6.00 wages, were demolished.
