  > a fantastic first job Of maybe it was a normal job which you were respecting to its true value? Being treated as a human being sometimes feel uplifting compared to other experiences. I hired an intern (in France it’s a two-year contract for 20-year-olds where I pay their study and they get shit pay). One the first two days, she worked 6.45 hours (contract is 7hrs). It’s her first job in an office (has once worked as a vendor) and I’m tempted to terminate her. She has learnt less at school than I thought. Maybe she’s young. I thought when you really wanted a job your worked 8hrs the first day, just in case. I can’t tell her that, because as an employer it’s forbidden in France. If I fire her, she’ll have to find a new employer before the beginning of the classes, which is impossible, so she would have to only start school next year. But I fully expect that the reason she hasn’t learnt enough at school (like, not learnt Ctrl+Z, or using Caps Locks for a single uppercase, I mean common you’re a digital native, I’m not, I was expecting her to do most of our marketing), is the same why she worked 6.45. I’m also upset that you can pass Baccalauréat and license degree and not master basic typing.

    It was more of the opportunity I got. I've been told it's a high prestige job, and I've learned enough to start my own company. It's also the highest paid $/hr in my field.
