Answer 2

Go back to high school, then you'll start to make big bucks in a few years. It would help if you told us what type of job you have. If you work at a place like McDonald's, of course you're only going to get $6 an hour. If not 6, then maybe 7. It depends on how long you've worked there and if you've worked your way up to a dollar raise. You can't call the police LOL, they'll laugh in your face. Most 16 year olds get minimum wage, don't complain, at least you have a job.

Answer 3

the minimum is $5.50 but hopefully you're looking for more than that!:}
