High schools finally over and its time to take the first step. After graduation I plan on going to work for my father.

A couple months ago I sat down with my dad and we talked about what I wanted to do. Ive worked with my dad for the past couple summers and I think its the best decison for me. I will be doing everything from remodeling to roofing to pouring concrete. And i would get to work with my dad which isnt so bad either. My grandfather started the company thirty years ago and my father has taken over and now its my turn to join the family business.

One main part in my research project is the yearly wage for someone in this field. Through my research ive found that the average yearly wage is about forty thousand dollas for 2007. Which could change baised on lack of work or overtime or anything like that. Because in this job your not always guaranteed work which is a bad thing.

One ther main factor was the hourly wage. For 2007 2008 year the hourly wage in Pa was anywhere from 12 to 14 dollars. I need to have an idea of what im going to make so I can subtract from my monthly expenses. TOTAL = $ 396.60 a Month [|Car # 1] [|Car # 2]
 * 1) Cell Phone $ 60.00
 * 2) Car Insurance $ 80-150
 * 3) Car Payment $ 166.60
 * 4) Spending Money $100

The two cars I placked are very similar in price so I picked a total right in the middle of them both which is eight thousand. So I would have to pay 166.60 for 48 months or 4 years.

After all my expenses are paid for I would like to start saving some money every week. I think fifty dollars a week would be a great start and a good amount its not too much but its not too little.
