Thinking about Work

My first job went well for the first 6 months out of a year working in duane reade as a photo technician. Honestly i had no idea how i landed this job as i had appply to work on the cash register. The pay was 7.15 an hour minimum wage and after 6 months with the company i was allowed to demand a raise of 15 cents. Once I saw my paycheck with the increase in pay I was thinking more about the money than the job and found out that a photo technician minimum wage is higher than a cashier making about 7.40 an hour and I never got that raise. The one thing that i learned before i was fired for reasons i won't meantion is that during this time where jobs are hard to find, determining if a job is good or not is based on how much you are going to earn is not the best way to think. I was consume of how much i wanted to earn making my job miserable and now that i need money, i dont have a JOB! Growing up i was raised like any other children in america to accomplish your dreams and live the american, accomplish the uncomplishable, my expectations of having a job didnt look all to hard to earn a buck.
