How much do you roughly make (college/part time jobs/under 18)

I'm 17 and work at a bakery. I get 3.50 hours every other week, 13.50 per hour. This amounts to under 50 dollars biweekly. Iv'e tried asking for more hours, but they don't have much for me to do because I'm a minor. I'm wondering how much other minors with part time jobs make a week/biweekly. I'd ask my friends but they don't like to talk abt it. I'm just tired and need the extra push to get out of this situation. Lmk!

is the currency dollars

in uk 1350 is a very good wage for a minor
they underpay minors sooooooooo bad so if you have something good deffo keep it
a lot of jobs take on minors so quickly cos they know they can rinse them of their hard work and pay them pennies
i recommend holistic and community driven jobs if you're looking for more pay and more hours cos they're kinder to youngins

I'm 17 as well and I've been working at a local animal shelter for a year, though my pay has always been my state's minimum wage (I'm in the US). Last year, it was ~$13 per hour and I work 9am to 11am (2 hrs) every weekend so I earned ~$100 biweekly. This year, my state raised the minimum wage to $15 so now I'm earning $120.

My job lets me "work" an extra few hours (which is pretty much necessary when we get an overload of animals) but...I only get paid sometimes for it .-. I don't typically complain about it because I suck at confrontations because I'm fine with my standard pay anyway but if I had to offer any advice, maybe don't be as compliant lol

I'm 19, and I'm taking 9 credits of college classes (full time is 12 credits) and I work 30 hours a week. Most of my paychecks (after tax, and every two weeks) usually range from $1,100 - 1,300. I make $20 an hour and make $30 an hour on Sundays!

It's late I know.

I'm 15 and right now I make roughly 48$ per week. (47.88$/1,600 in my country currency). I work part times after school as a kitchen assistant, which I get 8.97$(600) per week (3 hours shift per day). I also have 8 hours shift on weekend as a salesman for art academy for children in a mall and I get 11.97$(400) (This is per day. If I'm free on both days of the weekend, I get double.). I do my own business too as a baker for one coffee shop which I only get around 2.99$(100) because all the pastries I sell to the manager get price up to a lot higher price that people barely buy it. (I suppose to get 23$(765) but the price that the manager set are too high and it only affects me even though I sell them for very low price and the price they sell aren't even in the deal that we made.) and lastly is my pocket money 14.96$(500) per week.
