While I was i high school (frshman year) I got a work permit to hold
a job (I was 14). I worked at the loal McDonald's for a whopping 
$1.00 per hour. That pay scale persisted until minimum wage forced
them to pay more. McDonald's still pays the minimum they can get away
with as a matter of general practice. Even managing personell get paid
very little compared with the manager of a local family restaurant 
inthe Beloit, Wisc. area.

Handle carefully or else someone might think they are yours also.
