It depends on where you're working. you could be 30,40,50, but if you're working at mcdonalds or something it doesnt matter how old you are, you'll be making minimum wage.

Your wage is based on the VALUE of your work. Are you performing highly-skilled and life-saving neurosurgery? If so, then you should make a lot more than minimum wage. Are you doing work ANYONE can do? Then, the value of your work is no more than the minimum wage.

Best wishes and good luck.

Uh, they call it "minimum wage" because that's the minimum you must be paid, whether you're full or part time, 17 or 57.

Minimum is minimum. If you're 67 and the job pays minimum, then that's what you make. You don't get paid more for having a birthday.
