23, GED (General Education Diploma), and getting $6.50 an hour at an disc vending plant on an assembly line. Been working there for 2 weeks now. The state of alabama has no recommended minimum wage so it can be whatever in our area, last time the suggestion was 4.75 then 5.15. In a city nearby, I beleive the suggestion was raised to 6.75 or 7.15 and hour as minimum wage.
Working hard with mary jane in my mind, maybe one day I'll see her again. No idea what kind of career I want. At first I thought Forest/Park Ranger, but there are WAY too many people fighting for that, despite it's incredibly underpaid position, plus insane requirements. I'm leaning towards Security, Carpentry, Fisherman or Groundskeep.
EDIT: Working through a temporary agency company, Addecco
I work at a place that makes timber window and door frames...all i do all day is plain, sand and paint the bastards, I've only been there 4 weeks and I'm already getting bored of it lol bout £800 a month i think...won't b there for long and i've yet to find what i really want to do...and am 21 soon!
I don't think money can buy happiness but it can open up alot of opportunities for you and let you do some of the things that would make you happy that you might not be able to do without money..if that made sense? :jointsmile:
Unemployed college student here. Its pretty difficult to find a job, but trying to get some type of entry job dealing with computers/hardware/design.
Well said. If only it was that easy. :jointsmile:Quote:

We'd get on well. I can go on for hours about the simplist things. I had a conversation with a man i met in Holland about injectors for over 2 hours. Haha - i dont know where it all comes from, but anything to do with engines has always fancinated me.Quote:

I fully endorse the sentiment put forth by It's a Plant in the early part of the thread. i've been impoverished, not really having a place to live and crashing at friends' houses, and at other times I was making more than anyone my age that I knew of (often $30-40 an hour selling speed reading programs via telephone). Neither situation came as a result of fortuitous events, but as a conscious choice on my part based in what I valued at the time.
Yeah it was really gratifying to make a lot of flow, but I had insecurities because I was putting a lot of emotion into concentrating on revenue, and it was time I knew I could spend enriching my soul, not just my bank account. I didn't want a life in which a lot of my time was spent seeing how much I could make; it wasn't impressive to me. This is America, any douchey putz can earn a lot by putting emotion and energy into it; how could I possibly use capital to mark my degree of accomplishment?
Fortunately now I'm married to a girl who currently does $62,000 a year as an insurance broker (NOT an insurance carrier, but someone who negotiates with the carrier to get better employee benefits to companies), and I stay with our 2-year-old and 2-month-old, while raising delicious cannabis in the closet. It works out cuz I don't like thinking about money and office competition and she does. When the kids go to school I'll study botany and literature with absolutely no intention of turning it into a career.
Sorry about this autobiographical addendum, especially since it's not relevant to the thread " What do you do for a living and how much do you earn?" albeit being relevant to life, I guess

I remember you said you worked on cummins engines on the marine side. Do you ever come across the new 6.7L cummins? I recently purchased a new dodge with the new engine, nobody really knows much about them. Peace
I went to a trade school and took a job doing something trade related, I'd rather not say what I do exactly but its fixing something you would learn in a trade and I'm making about 55k a year after 5 years. And I still love my job and do it every day with a smile. I couldn't be happier, unless I was doing the same thing and getting paid a lot more :DQuote:
Fabolous: Money doesn't buy happiness but its sure a good down payment!
I also drove long haul for awile, that was a fun job, infact Id say it was the best job
I ever had, just out there on the open road, those Big rigs are fun to drive once you get the hang of it, infact if I did not have a prison record I would be out there right now, just going down the open road. But I cant cross the border so the big rigs wont hire.
