Default When is minimum wage too much?

Quote:
My 19-year-old daughter, who is back home from the University of Victoria until September, has found a summer job as a hostess at a well known B.C. restaurant a couple of blocks from our house. She’ll be working four- to six-hour shifts, three or four days a week.
She’ll get minimum wage, which was $8 an hour until April 30, when it went up to $8.75 an hour. But she expects to move into waitressing, where she can make far more money from tips.

The minimum wage where i live is even higher. Its $10.25 an hour ($9.60 for students) right now, and it will probably go up too!

my current part time job pays $13.50 an hour, so i unfortunately will not get a pay raise
