OK for recruiters to contact this job poster.
Phone calls about this job are ok.
You may contact job poster about other services, products or commercial interests.

OK, so you are a High School student and you have no clue what "compensation" means? Uhhhm, WTF? Here is a hint, open up another browser window ( browser is that thing on your computer that shows you web pages ) and go to the following link ( link is the address of the website ( website is what your browser is showing you ): http://www.dictionary.com. Be carefull, although the user interface ( the design and general layout of the website ) is fairly easy, take your time and become familiar with it. Once you feel comfortable, type in "compensation" and read what the definition say. If you have a hard time following these directions, ask a kindergarten kid, they might know. In the meantime, my personal advice to you is to give up on your dreams and get a job as a parking lot attendant ( but bring your calculator or insist on exact change ) OR take Grade and High School over again.
Has the educational system in America failed us completely or is this a rare find?
Imagine, that one day this kid would have to learn what an aperture is, or a seam on a dress. Perhaps college can fix that. LOL
