Decent Essays
Today we’re talking about budgets and income taxes. My career planning job is to become a Wedding Consultant. A Wedding Consultant gets or does the thing that need to be done for the couple and their wedding. They make $22.84 an hour which is
$47,500 annually. And I believe that the annual pay is the amount that you make per month. Many mini wage jobs pay about $5.00 an hour. They don’t pay as much as a career job. I believe the highest that a mini wage job pays is half of a career job. One example of a mini wage job is Wal-Mart. My aunt used to word there and she made I think around $6.35 an hour.
Some ways to compare mini wage jobs and career panning jobs are ven- diagram, bars, and graphs. In mini wage jobs you are usually involved in less.
