<prompt> Human: Hey, Im a 14 a smidge away from 15 year old male in Melbourne, Australia. Im a straight A student, an avid guitar player and a black belt in karate, so Im doing a decent job in... well, life. Im pretty keen on getting a casual job that I can mould around school with the intent of putting away a bunch of cash for after graduation in the hopes of doing a kind of gap year. Im a bit uneducated on how casual jobs work, what pay rates are and how hours are decided. I figure Im better off asking someone who knows better, so if anyone can educate me itd be a huge help.  <response>: Im from Sydney and faced the same position you are now.Honestly, my advice would be to get a job at Coles or Woolies. A Coles worker gets 21.60 an hour. Being under 16 youll be earning 45 of this 9.72 ph. A casual also gets a 25 loading, so doing casual shifts at Coles will give you 12.15ph, not too bad for a 15 year old. The proof is in their EBA hereBasically my advice is that you get a casual job in a supermarket and work as much as they give you. A strong work ethic and reliable reputation can help in the long run. Supermarket jobs are a good safety net to have later on in life, especially when a casual adult earns over 27ph.
