I was 20 working part-time and in college making 9$ an hr (which was more than min wage) as a cashier. I lived w/my boyfriend and he was working part-time and in college too, he stocked shelves in a grocery store for 11$ an hr graveyard shift. I don't know how we did it? But we are married now, full swing in our careers and look back and are grateful for our baby selves struggles.
True! I only made $17.50 an hour as a part time project coordinator for a grant management and consulting firm. That was my junior and senior years of college 3 years ago.
True. I lived in high cost of living cities so $15 is easily earned but I know even today many cities and states don’t even offer $10 an hour minimum wage. Bonkers!
Actually not bad at all for $16.00 per hour. 15 years ago, everything was much cheaper than nowadays. So you definitely could survive. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
I was making about $35 an hour. But I already had a Masters degree. Although you were making $16 an hour in 2006 while attending college, there are so many mature adults working today who don’t make $16 an hour. They are working in daycare facilities, nursing homes, etc😩
@@AHeatedMess thanks for the tip, tbh I Googled quickly because I was lazy. Yeah, I remember being a kid and being confused why someone was freaking out about £10
@@AHeatedMess oh my god $21 an hour???? WOW that's actually amazing. I'm Canadian and that's like... how much jobs pay out of school for some positions. wow??? amazing
I REALLY agree with that. But the employees aren’t going to make money based on how much the company makes or how successful it is. That’s going to be the higher ups, and if the shares do well, the the people who own lots of stock. Ok, just looked it up: the guy who founded lvmh, the company who owns, lv, fendi, CD, and many other brands, he’s worth 195.7 BILLION, that’s BILLION. Crazy, huh 😱
$16 is really good for a college job. I was working about that time ago for $13 an hour full time as an undergrad co-op for 6 months at a time in my field of study of Information Systems.
There are a lot of people today that don’t even earn that much money and work over 40 hours a week. I think for college student that is a lot of money. My daughter works over 30 hours a week at Flemings and is only paid $15 an hour for a lead hostess position. And that is in today’s money before taxes. Like you, she uses this money for her expenses and daily living as we pay for her tuition. It’s a real struggle for her and she is fortunate to be able to supplement it with her 529 plan
I graduated high school in 2006! So right after I got a job at the local DMV! Yes government job at 18! I was like omg I made it! 11 dollars an hour?!! Like what?!?’ I’m rich!!! I was planning on retiring by 25. 😩😂😂. Oh the good old days
15 yrs ago i had a summer internship where I worked at a nonprofit organization and made 10/hr. 16 bucks an hr then was pretty good for a student. But for a billion dollar company it’s a shame. It’s pretty sad that an employee of Louis Vuitton would not even be able to afford a bag at regular price with their paycheck. I don’t know if this has changed though. What’s the current rate now?
Up until 2005 at my job that time my hourly rate was $16. Then we PCS from Japan to California 2006-2007. At my new job from 2007 -2008 my hourly rate was $11 / I worked full time. 😄
I was a senior in high school. Didn't have a job yet but I started working the following year at little caesars pizza making $6 an hour. I was in college and it bearly covered my gas and food. But yeah when you are fully independent, that paycheck gets eaten up real quick so I understand how tough it can be to manage finances in college.
Im 18 and worked at Ralph Lauren and crazy to see how LV use to pay 16 an hour nowadays, getting a job at LV is so lucrative with SA making 6 figure almost guaranteed at any/most high end boutiques. I as an individual average almost 3k bi weekly at an company (purple,horses) in which I cannot disclosed and working at LV meant $30 an hour plus commission plus monthly bonuses. Man how times have changed
This is fascinating; thanks for being willing to share! I had one question: would you be willing to talk a little (maybe just in general terms) about luxury and the security? I’m interested in product security but also what kinds of security measure are in place for employees too. Or maybe I’m boring and the only one interested in this topic lol. :) Love your channel!
The USD16.00 per hour is for what level/position? You need to equate it to a position to better understand and evaluate how low or how high the salary is :)
Depends on where youre living too. Not sure if you said but 16 is hard to support your self but could go farther somewhere else. Could go not far at all others. Considering LVs are usually in decent higher populated areas not likely youre in a affordable areas.
but what state was it u were making 16 dollar and hour, i was a cook , making $500 week to home salary for 6 days, that was good money then and now, cause i dont smoke anymore and drive a used pay off truck from 5 years ago and i used a 2 nd hand and no spending habits!
15 years ago I was in college and I wasn’t working. I had an allowance because my mother wanted me to focus on school. I think my allowance was $150 a week.
I worked for Starbucks($17/hour) and they paid very well plus tips!!! I also live in a high cost of living city 🙂 I also worked nights as a bartender 😃 this was in college as well 😂
@@AHeatedMess yup. We hustled and worked our asses off to get where we are today!! That’s why I relate so well to you 😄 I’m sipping my drink and waiting on IG for the “hate” comments. 💋

Thanks for sharing. That figure is a lot less than than what I expected from LV! As with any salary package, what you take home is heavily dependent on cost of living in that specific city/region. My hourly rate doing my full time summer job in my city was the highest in the UK and looked so good on paper. However, in practice my monthly salary for the summer was just enough for 2-3months rent, personal commute and maybe some for books. In my situation, I also had to take away work commute costs so real take home pay was lower.
15 years ago I was probably making $12 Canadian for CIBC bank. So you are ballin w/$16 back in the day girl!¡! 😂🤣 I'm in late 30s now and boy I don't know how I bought my own car and paid bills back then. It was tough living paycheck to paycheck

There are many days you may not even make a sale so $16 and hr is to much in 2006! I seen car sales men in California make $10 a hr in 2004-2006 in the heat not saying anything bad but that good for someone with no experience looking good in a shop in AC:) Now we living in a age where our children are making $15 standing next to a cash register! Only complaint is there phone is in there locker! Lol

$0.00

In 2006 I was working in a Chicago hospital as a medical technologist earning $20/hr.

Wow, $16/hr is a lot for college! Even for nowadays that’s very rare!
True! I only made $17.50 an hour as a part time project coordinator for a grant management and consulting firm. That was my junior and senior years of college 3 years ago.

I'm 68 now. I started working in a lawyers office, filing at age 15 and was earning $14 a WEEK in 1967. At 18 I was earning $55 a week.
15 years ago.... I was working at a yogurt shop in a mall serving yogurt to shoppers. I started at 7$/hr and left at 9$/hr !
Back in 2006 the minimum wage was like $8.00 I think so $16 not bad at all.

For a retail job in 2006, that’s definitely not bad. In 2006, I was earning maybe $11-12 an hour babysitting. That’s what I did in college

$16 back then was pretty good.
I work in retail in the UK (not LV) and I earn the equivalent of $13 an hour in 2021 which is quite common for retail workers

Where do you work now or are you retired ? Just don’t seem like your old enough to be retired , so just asking
