Just wondering, because I have never met anyone who makes only min. wage. I live in the midwest, where wages are lower than on the coasts. Here are some jobs that I know pay more than min. wage.

Dishwasher - I made $8/hour in 1999 doing this.
McDonalds - My cousin made between $8 and $9 doing this before he quit a few months ago.
Grocery Store - My brother made $5.25 in 1997 when he was 15 when min. wage was 4.25.

Just wondering who out there is making min. wage. I'm not saying they don't exist. I'd just like to know who.

I made less than min. wage for a few years while I was in the ARMY.

There are other forms of compensation beside the paycheck that bring the total well over minimum wage.
