Remember your first job? 

You were probably washing dishes in the back of some family-run restaurant, pulling weeds for your dad, or maybe you had a paper route with the other local kids. Odds are, you probably made a little extra money and as a teenager, having a little extra butter in your spinach meant that you could finally buy that new skateboard you wanted! Or if you saved, maybe you could even earn enough to buy a cheapy beater car with no muffler and questionable brake pads. Your first job opened so many new doors financially, there was probably a brief moment of excitement for the adult years to come.

Even though you didn't make that much money, you felt like a king–and soon you'd be a millionaire, right? But truthfully, the excitement of your first paycheck wears off pretty quickly…

I know we've had the same federal minimum wage for a couple of decades, but there are few instances where minimum wage jobs can actually afford you to live any sort of normal life. Most employers realize that $10 is frankly insufficient to offer their employees, but according to the recruiter in this next story, their out-of-touch boss insisted that $10 was more than enough to fill a position.
