<prompt> Human: I recently was contacted by an old friend who has a successful contract companyconstructionmaintenance. Im 21 years old and do not currently have a job. He is offering me 12hr to work for him. Some details are -I wont be on W-2, Id be 1099-misc -I wont get paid overtime if I go over 40 hours in one week -It is very strenuous work -I wont be paid for drive time? im not sureIs it wise to even do this? Id have to keep track of my own taxes, and I dont get overtime. EDIT: I called and I took the job. Any money is better than no money! Thanks, just wanted to see if I was walking into something right.  <response>: 12hr seems very low for a 1099 job. Youll have to pay more FICA taxes 15?I would consider it the same as a 10hour job from somewhere else, after the hassle.
