average wages around my area are $6:50 an hour to start $7.25 after 3 months . Very few jobs at $12 an hour unless you are very lucky or very well qualified.

If my computer crashes again I will have to do without it until a friend or family gives me a present . Luckily I own my house but I havent had any income since Jan 2006 when I went into hospital.  Dont qualify for disability and no one will hire an old guy with medical problems .

$12 an hour full time sounds very good to me .
