Honestly, at your age, without working like a fucking Mexican (60+ hours a week), either are you. My university offers Co-op, which is where the school sponsors the students to major corporations. We get paid and work for them for 6 months doing actual work that is pertinent to our degrees to get us prepared. My last co-op paid me $825 a week salary, at Merck Pharmeceutical, and that is pretty much the max you can get. Cleared, that got me $645. $700 cleared is a hella wage to get paid, especially for someone like you, a 20 year old.

Like I said, it is possible, but not with a 40 hour week, or at least not legally, or steadily (Maybe you are a bar tender, and your wages fluctuate depending on the customers).

I just don't understand why people have to exaggerate so much. Sometimes, its just a blatent lie.
