My U.E.I. College Externship Experience

It's been a week and a half since U.E.I. College sent me on my externship at Sanchez Computers and so far so good. Since day one Oscar (my extern supervisor and owner of Sanchez Computers) has called me an expert, and I've been able to impress him multiple times when it came to hardware diagnostics and repair.

On Friday, Oscar asked my what my plans were once the externship was finished, and I told him that I needed to find something quick, for I'm in a custody battle for my daughter and having a good paying job is essential to getting her back; he asked me what I wanted, I told him 15 sounds reasonable, but then he told me that I'm asking for too much and that he starts his techs at 10; I then told him that I cannot except 10.

I'm thinking about telling Oscar that I will settle for 12.50 (500 dollars a week), but he must hire me immediately and not wait for my externship to finish; If I am as good as he says I am, why wait to give me what I need? U.E.I. college will only allow me to work 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week, but Oscar needs me on Saturdays as well, so me not showing up on Saturdays making his workload increase should motivate him to give me a reasonable job offer.
