I never had a job before. I am 18, and would like to get my first part-time job. On the applications, there is a section titled "desired salary" and I don't know what I should put down. It's for a retail store. I don't want to put down too little and end getting paid less than I should but then I'm also afraid of putting down too much and them not hiring me because of it. What is a good amount to ask for per hour?

I would probably go with your minimum wage or slightly higher. I worked as a retail store manager a few years ago. All cashiers started out at minimum wage. It was the managers and assistant managers that made more. However, there were regularly reviews and raises offered to those who performed well.
