I am 18 and I will be graduating high school in January. I live about 20 miles from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I currently work for a very small residential construction business. (4 employees) We basically do everything. (concrete, roofing, drywall, whole home building ect.) I love my job but I don't think I am getting paid nearly what I am worth. I make $9.00 per hour and get more work done than the guys I work with who have been doing construction for years and I take a lot of pride in doing a good job. I also get NO BENIFETS including NO WORKMANS COMP. This is a bad situation for me because as soon as I graduate I can't be covered on my parents health insurance anymore.
My question to all you residential construction business owners is how much money am I worth? I have 2 years experience and have a very good knowledge of all aspects of general construction as well as good carpentry skills. I have a good attitude and try to learn as much as I can every day.
What should I do about my situation of being uninsured in just a few months? I am very loyal to the guy I work for but money and more importantly having full health coverage is very important to me.
I can't seem to decide whether or not to start looking for another job before I graduate. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.
