I didn't realize that was where all of the freaks who couldn't work in the public eye were housed.

My first job was in 1992: I think $7/hr back then was considered lower middle class so I'm gonna say NO!.

Post is pointless without taking into consideration inflation & the rise of the minimum wage.....

Got a job at a Putt-Putt just outside of my neighborhood at 16. They paid me below minimum wage for three months by putting me on probationary status and then fired me when the three months was over. They did the same to the next kid that was hired and the next kid after that...
