What do you do for a living and how much do you earn?

im in the pharmaceutical industry ;)

Right now, I work at Starbucks, and earn $9/hour. For where I am in life right now, it's decent, but in no way do I plan on working this job for more than a year, simply because I deal with way too many unappreciative asshole customers.

I'm going to be joining the military in May.

Very good benefits too. At least if you teach at a public school.

To Its A Plant, you are right..money is not everything..as long as I can cover my bills and have some other money for fun..I am straight..I too like to work as least as possible..
I worked for many years with some large companies making about the same amount of money for years..ya know 40k-70k a year and fucking pretty much hated all of them...cause they sucked up all my time, quotas to hit..blah.blah..
I had been thinking for years about getting out and starting my own business doing something that no one else does..so that is what I am doing..I am surviving, my customers are very happy with the service that I provide..I write my own schedule and I dont have a boss micromanaging everything by numbers..

I'm on my way to a career in graphic design, just not sure where yet....I've got a year of school left to figure that out though. Most likely I'll have to move to a bigger city, but it would be worth it because there is more work there. The pay isn't that bad from what I hear either.

If I'm happy in 20 years, then I'd say I'm a success. As long as I can afford to pay my bills and get by, that's fine by me. Life wasn't meant to be spent grubbing for money doing some job you in which you despise everything about it besides for the paycheck.

WELL SAID.:thumbsup:

Admin. Assistant, 48K.

Hmmm....some of the happiest times in my life were when I had the least money. If I had a choice, of course I would rather have than have not...but, and this may come as a shock to some, the more money you have...the more disconnected you are to people and the crazier you get. There comes a point where you start to question if people are really your friends or if they're just there hoping for a handout no matter who they are. Find your passion and make it work for you. Yes, money makes things easier, but at the end of the day, all the things don't matter if you've killed your spirit to get them...
