Hi there!
It always depends on where you are located and experience.
-I started in South Dakota and was trained on the job - I made $12.25 per hour.
-I then moved to Idaho and had 2 years of experience and I asked for $18 an hour.
-2 years later I made $19 an hour.
Don't be afraid to bring up wage and what you expect to make or would be comfortable making.
It is also about negotiation and what skills you bring to the table. Most offices will negotiate with you on a price. Also a "working interview" is an awesome chance to showcase your skills!
