Currently, I work at a place called Brookstone in Annapolis mall. I basically sell stuff to people, mostly stuff they don't need, and pick up a small fraction of each sale. I make 7.75 an hour, with perks of an extremely flexible schedule, great co-workers (two of which are my real-life friends), a weekly paycheck (not bimonthly thank God) and $200 - 250 for every Tempur-Pedic bed I sell. Also, a 30% employee discount and a staggering 75% discount on Tempur-Pedic beds in January.

But, I want more.

My checks only come out to about $130 a week after taxes, and most of that is just drained out anyway, some from my gas tank, some from taking care of my really sick mother, some from spending money on my girlfriend, my two kid sisters, etc. Upon asking for a raise, the store manager informed me that you are put under review A YEAR after the date you are hired. The average raise is about 50 cents.

One idea I've had is to go over to where MLE works; a nearby T-Mobile in the same mall. But trading in the devil you know for one you don't isn't exactly easy.

EDIT - Oh yeah, I'm 18, good with sales/fast-talking/scam jobs, fast typer, okay with computers, and stuff.
