<prompt> Human: This may become more legal advice related but I wanted to know somethings regarding my personal finance. I just graduated college, and got a job with a minor league sports team. I was offered 22.5k salary. I was extremely hesitant to take it knowing my degree was worth more than that but in the sports industry experience is key and I didnt have any other local options. I took the job. Hours are 8 to 5 with an hour lunch. 5 days vacation every 6 months wotked and 5 sick days a year. However, we have game nights about every Friday and Saturday, sometimes other days of the week. If its on a weekend I go to the office for another 9 hours. If its on a week day I add 5 hours. These are for home games. For away games I sometimes travel with the team rarely but I do digital marketing which requires me to watch away games which is about 3 hour investment per game. Depending on the week I could put in from 45 to 65 hours.this doesnt even begin to count the amount of work I am doing outside of work which can be another 2 hours a night. I knew that going into this I was basically doing slaves labor.What I am concerned about is the switch the office is making to comply with new labor laws?We are all going to hourly, which I see as a nice thing. However, they are switching our office hours to 9 to 5 with an hour lunch. 35 hours during the week. I could still add about 15 more hours based on games. Should I ask about my benefits? Or holidays? If Im not working holidays, I wont get those hours anymore...so I wont get paid. Or does the overtime Im getting even it out. Then, there is an off season, which is from April to September. During this time I wont be getting extra game time, so my hourly will only be at 35 hours a week. Instead of 40. So I would technically lose money, right?How should I go about talking to my boss about the time I put in outside of work or working away games?What questions should I be asking?Thanks for taking a ride in my shit boat. :  <response>: Respectfully, Get your head out of the fog.22.5k yr is okay for a student working 20-22hrs week. But once you are out of school, its time to be upwardly mobile.Dont worry about any perks or whatever because you dont need anything distracting you to remain. The purpose of these cheap starter jobs is to get experience and gtfo. Respect yourself, respect your abilities and look forward.Edit sp
