Is $10.6 / hour average pay in America? In Norway average pay is around $24.2 / hour (before taxes), that may be for a pretty laid back job with no special education needed.

American's average pay is normally minimum wage i would presume, But i have no clue, But this job is very physically demanding. In order to get past the first 2 weeks you've got to have a iron will or just not feel pain/exhaustion.

You must feel brilliant right about now.
Ever played Minecraft?
Can I place that building there, m'lord?
[QUOTE=swift and shift;35553018]lol $10.60 is nothing[/QUOTE]
I receive $3/hour
how's that
What kind of rocks do you quarry, and how does the weight density of the rock compare to that of granite?
Because granite can be a bitch to dig up by hand.

Yeah, but you're 14 or something.
Minimum wage is $7.25 here in the U.S.
The lower class are basically slaves.

Oh hell yes they are. My family is dirt fucking poor. Only reason I'm doing any good right now is I joined the military, hoping I can help em out eventually.
