Broke_Audio_Addict Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I work in an oil change shop, My base pay is $30k a year. I get bonuses based on performance/ sales numbers too. It can add up to $1000 a month, it takes one hell of a good month for that though. I'm still broke as fuck, being an adult sucks. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Deeznutz Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 ER Nurse. 20 yrs exp. this Nov. Woo-who! I usually make about $92-95K gross, a yr doing 13-16 wk contracts. Now I am happy making about half of this and not work so much. I just finished working 9 out of 10 days, which computes to about 3 wks of work. I'm on day 3 of "Frank TIme". Have to decide "Do I take 3 wks off or work next week?". Busy season starts up in Oct. I'll be back to 4 days a week, than 1 week off per month, hording the money for the up coming summer. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom50cal Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 graduated highschool 2 years ago. didn't re-enroll back in college, started an apprenticeship with an electrician. Realized I was fucking miserable about 9 months in, told the dude to fuck off. Now I'm 20. Class A CDL Driver and Heavy Equipment operator for the county. I drive tractor trailers hauling rock and heavy equipment, drive 10 wheelers(dumptrucks), and run heavy equipment like road graders, back hoes, bulldozers, track hoes, and other road maintenance equipment. Base gross salary is $45k a year. After taxes and insurance I should take home $33 to 34k-ish. Get a 5-10% raise every year, and the county matches my retirement up to 20% sooooo I'll probably stay here awhile.

My boss has actually been encouraging me to go get my certs. He said if I get them he will let me work out of his shop, use his insurance, and everything else, he'll pay for materials and parts, and we split labor 50/50. So basically I have absolutely no cost involved and could make decent money. He had a guy doing it before but the guy ended up liking drugs more than he liked working. He said they were splitting about $10k a week on average. There are some things that go on with my company that make me not want to do it with them being part of it. Also I can't get the time off right now to even go take the test, I'm on 6 10 hour days permanently. It's next to impossible to get a day off since they like to run skeleton crews at all their stores.

DLHgn Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'm currently in college working on my BS in Computer Science. Work as a Resident Assistant (yay free room and board plus a measly $103 a month). Don't really know what I want to do but I better figure it out. Thinking about maybe getting a master's degree but idk what it would be in. Maybe after my senior level CS classes this semester I'll have more of an idea of what I want to do (Human Factors in Computer Systems and Computer System Security) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know what I want to do. I was a computer tech guy for my school (it was actually a class and I was only one of 4 to be put in it) and I got my Comptia A+ cert before graduating highschool and should've got the Net+ but oh well. I definitely would prefer not to do a whole lot of programming. I'm pretty decent at it but it just doesn't hold my interest (at least what we're doing in class doesn't). I really prefer more hands on stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
