How much should I get paid for this job?

Question

I was asked to walk a 1st grader home from school everyday (Monday-Friday) for 2 weeks. We go to the same school but I am a 10th grader. I will pick her up from class, walk her home (10 minute walk) and then come back to the school so I can bike home. How much do you think is a reasonable amount for 2 weeks?

Answer 1

You should do it for free. Karma will repay you eventually.

Answer 2

$100

Answer 3

First of all, I think it's best if you don't ask for any money at all. Just do it, and if you ever need a favour, you can be sure that they'll be willing to help you the same way you helped them. But if you're insistent on asking for money, you're doing 20 minutes a day for 10 days. That's 200 minutes, which is just over 3 hours' worth of work. 3 hours for a 6 year old at $8 an hour is $24. I think $25-$30 is more than enough.

Answer 4

Five hundred thousand million pounds.

Answer 5

$20. 10 minute for 2 weeks is less than 2 hours worth of work. If you ask for $20 you will make more than $10/hour. Not bad for a high schooler. There are lots of adults that do make that much.

Answer 6

Can't you just put the kid on your handle bars or on your shoulders and peddle them home so you don't have to make the trip back?

Either way, I'd charge $2 a trip.. That's $40 by the end of the two weeks and it is plenty of money to get yourself something at Hot Topic.

Answer 7

20 DOLLARS
