Friday’s post about WME cutting assistant wages got me thinking. Nine dollars and fifty cents an hour is really low - like, really, really low. Even Lilit and I were paid more at our former crappy assistant jobs.
So I did a little digging to find some better-paying jobs. Not surprisingly, it wasn’t difficult to find them.
- Take orders at In-n-Out for $12 an hour, or you can flip burgers for $13 an hour.
- Mop floors for $12 an hour as a janitor at a hospital
- Bag groceries at Whole Foods for $10 an hour.
- Work for MTV as a production assistant for $14 an hour.
- Be a prison cook for $23 an hour, or about $46K a year.
So there you have it. Oh, and by the way, the average hourly wage for an administrative assistant in their first years on the job is $11.67.
