The Euro is stronger than the US Dollar, however it also costs more to live. So in essence you are making just over minimum wage in your country.
If you could start a US Savings account and move over here you would be making bank for working at a fast food joint.
Go Go You!
I am glad that you do not know a flying donkey poo about my country
Yes it's more expensive to live here.
But claiming that it is just over minimum wage is just ignorance on your parts.
Minimum wage here is roughly 16 USD.
But as I said before that BK, MCD and other fast food joint are under the laws of Hotels and Resturants, so they need to keep a higher standard of wages and benefits.
I am 21 years old, studying and working at burger king.
Yet I got a 10 mbit/2mbit connection, full cabel TV package incl. HDchannels, FullHD TV, Ps3, a high end computer, more than 200 game titles.
I also got a son, and my own apartment.
And I am able to put food on the table every day
Like decent meals.
I also don't have ANY loans. I am also insuranced for ~208,000 USD (1,000,000 DKR)
I don't know about American standards but I think that is fairly okay to be able to keep that even if I worked at Burger King part time.
I must also add that due to the extensive social benefits in Denmark (which are of the highest standards in the world)
I get paid to go to school, my rent is low because I am a student, I get child support from the state every third month, school is free.
The worst job you can get here are the ones at retail and call support, they get minimum wages and bad to none benefits.
