Is anyone else struggling to picture yourself doing this job in 10 years? I love the energy, but the physical toll is no joke. My knees ache after doubles, my back feels wrecked from hauling trays, and my sleep schedule is shot. And I’m only 36. I can’t imagine how people keep going into their 40s and 50s.

I’m in my late 40s. It hurts. Everything hurts. My body. My soul. I think manager is a little more stable but I definitely can’t bust my rear end like I used to…

I come from a very middle class upbringing, and so does she, although she’s influenced by friends dating professional athletes and stuff

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?
