speaking of pay day and paychecks, do ppl remember getting their first paycheck and seeing how much was taken in taxes :D

actually US has this treaty with Pak according to which F1 people dont pay big chunk of texes from their jobs, so i enjoyed it for years in school but outside the school, when i started working and saw amount after deductable, i was like waooo...it was pretty bad..specially after seeing the sign on bonus going from $$$$$$ to $$$ it was pretty disappointing...i was like there goes my LCD TV
A friend of mine lost about 15K $ in one paycheck as his work was paying him at end of year for his services from past year.
