My daughter was doing that for $8/hr 3 years ago when she was 20. Now she's sitting in an office chair earning 3x that amount.
Easiest cookies in the world to make.

Do you boil the dough? Why are you always baking Leevil? Sorry, I'm not sure what you do for a living.

Prehaps he's a Baker.

I don't even know what I earn yet.

I did boil it. Never heard of that before I made them though.
I bake because I love cooking and food. I get great satisfaction from making and growing my own stuff. I'm also veggie and find it easier to make it myself, rather than having to search for decent pre-made food.
I don't do anything for a living at the moment. Well, apart from writing, but I'm not making any money off that.

I thought that, but wouldn't be baking bagels from scratch a bit easy then?

Ah. Have you tried sourdough yet? I'm going to make some this week.
And have you ever tried tatty scones? They are beautiful. Lovely with a poached egg and some aspargus to dip in the egg (if you're a veggie).

What have you got yourself into? 
Well minimum wage is £4.77 an hour, and I trust my direct boss.

It would be 4.7 something.

Not yet, but it's on the list somewhere.

Probably? It does sound good though.
I'm going to make English Muffins next.

Google says that's $7.83. Ours is $7.25, you posh bastards! 
But you didn't agree on a wage before you accepted the job? What if they pay you in party hats and noisemakers?
I don't see many jobs paying minimum wage around here, but it may be changing with the economic downturn. Places like McDonald's and supermarkets usually advertise starting pay at about $9.

Leeeeeeeeeeevil, does 'vegan' mean no milk?
(I know, dumb question.)

No dairy products, so yes. But there are plenty of alternatives. I'm not vegan, but my girlfriend is.
So if I bought something vegan in a shop it would definitely have no dairy in it?
