13 hours a week? That hardly constitutes a job. Most hourly locations consider under 32 hours part time. Jobs I've held are between 20-30 hours a week.

(lowest I've seen)$8.25*20 = 165
165*4 = 660
660 * .75 (LUL taxes) = 495

(minimum wage)$7.25*20 = 145
145*4 = 580
580 * .75 = 435
I know minimum wage/taxes is different per state/territory. But it remains that 13 hours a week is more like a hobby, not a job. You only show up...what, like twice a week? Or maybe you get a bunch of princess shifts?

I've worked 13 hours in a day <_<..

There's no reason you can't make it work. Assuming you're making 7.25 an hour after taxes, to get $500 a month you need to work 18 hours a week. That isn't hard. 8 hour days on the weekends plus an extra shift one day after school > 20 hours. It'll suck, but it isn't that bad. To get a job you need to look like your interested. Don't just apply online and wait for a call. Go in to the store/restaurant/whatever and actually talk to the manager and introduce yourself. It makes a good impression. You don't even have it that bad. I work with a guy who has 2 jobs and is a full time college student.

@Payne: If by capitalism you mean having to earn a living instead of being handed other people's money, then yes, MZ was screwed over.
