If I go for a new job, they see I am young, and make $16 an hour at my current job so that's what they will offer.
Well maybe I can offer some insite as I have had a hard time with this as well. I am early 20s and at 18 went to buy a 50g truck no one looked at me haveing worked hard from my first job at 12 I know its a struggle for anyone young to be respected at first glance. I now work in machine show makeing a decent wage (there is room for growth :rainfro but I am happy. I have tried the union thing yeah I made $28/h walking in the door but the rules drove me nuts I had no freedom to be the employee I wanted to be.
I had to work 10/h days and go to school for 4 hours after my shifts to get where I am.
Good luck
