Got a job! (Legit this time!)

Finally, got a job. My job with Wal-Mart fell through because of my record... Which I'm kind of glad about now.
I work 5-6 nights per week 8pm to 8am, I basically listen to two elderly men sleep and can watch TV or use a laptop. I only get $40/night, but I do almost nothing for twelve hours. Taxes aren't automatically taken out, so this is going to be confusing. >>
I want to be a CNA, and maybe eventually an LPN or RN, so this is a good start.

I want to be a CNA and this will look good as far as job experience goes, and you just literally sit there for 12 hours that you probably wouldn't be doing anything else anyway.
A shame about WallyWorld, other than low pay I liked my time there. I'm vaguely curious about your record but no need to share. :)
Regarding taxes: If you make more than a couple hundred dollars, you're supposed to file taxes, and while it's possible that the IRS won't notice if you don't, it's equally possible that they will, so err on the safe side and plan to file. Most of my adult life has been spent working jobs that didn't withold taxes, so I know a bit about it. If you make less than ~$7800/year (the exact amount varies year to year), all you'll owe is self-employment tax, a flat 15%, so reserve that in a savings account out of each check, that way you can pay the tax bill right away and not have to worry about it.
