:lol: Or if you married a doctor. I must be dense. $20 an hour, 8 hours a day + 10% of $1k would be $32.50 an hour, which doesn't seem UNFAIR to me. I'm not going to do it, obviously, but I don't see how he's shafting his foreman.

$1100 x 50 weeks= $55k+ a year. $1100 x.7= $770 a week. I can live on $770+ a week, $3200 a month. That's basically $40k+ a year take home pay. The average homeowner's home is $128k, median household income is $43k and $23k per capita. He's offering a job that brings home about 2.5x the...
