He doesn't even pay me for the over 40 hours hours, he just rolls them to the next week and if your over 40 then too on to the next week. Its stupid. But with the CNA jobs ill have benefits, better pay, and a way in so that the hospital will pay for our schooling if we agree to work for them for said amount of years. Then either this fall or next spring we will be going for 2 years for or associates in nursing. Hopefully shortly after those years are done we will be building our big house. We will be building most of it ourselves as her dad, grandpa are carpenters, and my dad knows a bit about that too. It will have an attached 2 stall garage with an upstairs in the garage section as well which will be my man cave. Ill have the basement too if I need more space. Somewhere inbetween all this there will be a wedding and honeymoon as well. Lol. Its going to get crazy really fast so I'm hoping that will take my mind off things.

If you work it.. and he won pay, well. Sue. I hit 15 hours into OT and only.got paid for 3.. they said they would go to checks That's were smaller.. I said a few words.. And lets say.. I made a lot that week..lol.

If you're no salary And you work those hours clocked in then he HAS to pay.


And this, I know you'll take offense but you have to understand this.. there is NO way to know for sure if you'll get a job with a college degree of any kind or even if you'll get paid a lot. I went to.culinary school.. I am a AWESOME cook.. I cooked for 2 Michelin star chefs... there is never a guarantee of a good job.. I get 8.50 a hour and about 30 hours a week... better then most but for.my certification I should be.making a lot.more.. yes, "we're" needed, but why pay someone more whn you can higher someone else for.less.. sadly the way IL works..

As I said, dun take offense. I was in your shoes, so hooked on it Ans bam.. applied to my first job.. $17.50 a hour 35. A week. Didn't get it. Why? I was to qualified... our area Or expertise may be different, but understand the.moral in this long reply I just posted....
