There ya go..incentives. Cash for doing something positive instead of handed to you, just because.

What? No car for getting all A's?

Oooooo..a bi-annual bonus of $40. Thats almost as good as raising minimum wage to its historical norms.

It is going to be hard to make those As if your working a minimum of 20 hours per-week during the school year.

Of course it could be worse Wal-Mart just implemented a new dress code for their minimum wage employees. Some corporate big wig decided khakis are no longer appropriate for Wal-Mart employees and have mandated that employees now wear only black or dark pants to work as they fit in better with Wal-Mart's new color scheme. Talk about clueless.

Well, it's certain you would have not gotten anything.

The incentive is good for around $480.00 a month for 9 months out of the year. Far more than an untrained teenager flipping burgers is worth.

I worked 20+ hours a week all through high school and I got straight A's. I was in the military and worked a part time job in college. I had almost NO free time. Still graduated with a 3.9 .

20 hours a week would be 1 eight shift on Saturday & 5 shifts of less than 3 hours per day.

Holly Hell, what's next? A bonus for washing your hands after taking a leak?

PJ, the school aged kids that I know in Texas take more than one class per semester. A good student would make far more than $40.
