I just finished a Warehousing a Product Support program for my first year trade certificate, so for the next 3 weeks, I am doing work experience. I don't get paid to work there, and truthfully, what I'll be doing there is the exact same shit I did when I was 16.
I work in the recieiving department pretty much unloading trucks (50ft, big ones), putting the boxes on the right pallet, and then taking it out to the floor.
I didn't go to school to put boxes on a pallet. I did that at 16, 9 years ago.
No wage right now and this retail company pays SHIT at like 9-$10 an hour. :p Fuck that! My teacher told me after you get your first year, I should be looking at minimum $14-$15 an hour.
I'm 24 as well, and I don't mind warehouse work, but if I decided to stay at this company, all that education would have been a waste, and I would be working for pennies. I went to school so I didn't have to do jobs like this anymore, and I could have gotten the exact same job, without the 4 months of full time schooling.
So yeah, after these 3 weeks I'll be looking at $15/hr or so.
I move a really big camera around and try to get good shots of races all day and night.
The hours are great since I'm high all the time and on the internet....there's PLENTY of overtime....401k....shares of company stock.....
im gettin a check of around 350+(i'm being VERY modest) a week....every week....
benefits? are "off-the-chain" like the rap kids say.
i'm Fine and dandy until I get my degree in whatever.
but this must be the 4th time i tell someone my job on here.. lmao
my only job i have is being a dad
i dont get paid in cash for that job
i have to pay to work
unemployed, 0$ per week.
for the last week and a half I made 1600 or so.
Fireworks stand
Lab rat at a university.
I make half what I'd be pulling down in the private sector.
But the intangibles are priceless.
I supplement my job with income from my rental property... when my tenants decide to pay me anyway, lol!
I smell bacon up in hurrrr
:p Ha ha! I don't think he's bacon. He made a thread about getting high and accidentaly shitting his pants. :p No cop or law enforcment has a sense of humour like that.Quote:

I pull fiberoptic cable through the ceilings of buildings on construction sites. It's basically all the cables that allow the computers and wall phones to work. We work on colleges and office buildings that are being constructed or anything of that nature that requires a lot of computer connections. I run the cable from the com room to each designated room that needs a computer jack. Normally it's about 4-5 a room. I also jack the cables and test them and build the com rooms. I'm 18 this month and I only make $8 an hour. But since it is my uncles company and I'm going to start working full time after my probation I'll probably get a decent raise.
I work for an engineering company, in IT.
Pull in around 32k a year atm, should see a raise to closer to 40 by years end I am hoping.
I work at a Panera Bread location, it flexible hours so that works well while I'm in school, the job itself isnt that great but it's money, and the people I work with are all pretty cool. I'm also guaranteed at least a 10% raise next month so I'm looking forward to that.
Factory work, same boring thing everyday. Flexible hours though so its nice when im in school, at $10 an hour.. Im not really complaining :stoned:
Before I quit corporate life to go to medical school last August, I was an executive speechwriter/marketing communications strategist-consultant, and I made a very good salary in the low six-figures for part-time work, but I'd done that work for a long time and worked my way to the top of that field. I had 20 years of professional writing experience behind me and three degrees. I was also 44 when I left that job, so I was fairly well along in my career.
Stay in school, kids. It makes a difference.
during the schoolyear i have a part-time job as a calculus TA which pays about $200 every other week. good money considering it's not really a lot of work and i have a full-ride scholarship anyway so this is all money to me.
play guitar, singer song writer.
Lol, isnt working just SHIT, no matter what job you have even if you love it your gonna get bored of it one day.Quote:

In my work I do firestop calking. I insulate and seal all the penetrations in buildings (for pipes, wires, and vents), because when a fire starts it spreads most quickly through those penetrations.
$20 an hour, which is great, if only I didn't work an average 5 hours a month because my back can't take it. I get the occasional day when I'm good enough that I can load up on painkillers and work (with my dad who employs me), but even then I'm pushing my pain threshhold to the limit.
Just worked today actually, nice making $100 in 5 hours. I'm hoping with enough (legal prescription) opiates in my system I could work a few more days for once.
I'm a Croupier at a Casino...I earn bout £11'000/$22180
I'm 21
Used to be a Mechanic before that in a ford dealer ship for 3 years
I cannot exactly say what I do for a living other than that I work for state government, but I am in the business of saving people's lives. I'm closer to 30 than I am to 20.
I think if I got paid to play guitar for 8 hours a day, I wouldn't mind that one bit. :pQuote:

That's all right though, because you're right, that bowl at the end of the day makes life kind of swell. The sunshine, my cat, it's summertime now and girls are in bikini's, only 3 weeks of work experience at this place :thumbsup:. Yes, positive thinking. I stopped being positive for over a week, but that week sucked ass, and when things suck, they just suck.
I've got 17 yrs experience as a floral designer. I've made a whopping $10 an hour for the past 11 years and that sucks, because I love what I do, there just isn't much money in it. I only work pt thanks to my hunny
So I also do weddings and events out of my house occasionally, either getting clients through craigslist or word of mouth.
I also have an antique booth at a local mall, but that is more of a hobby. Sometimes I make a few hundred a month and sometimes I'm lucky to pay rent!
I build/design Swimming pools/spa/water features in So Cal for my own Co.
(16 years) I pull down around 275K a year (don't tell the IRS:wtf:)
the most I'v ever made was 625K about 3 years ago
I went to school for cooking and worked in many resturants and never made more then a 25K a year
I'm almost 40
I miss working. Used to do flooring installation (carpet, tile, wood, you name it). Got paid different amounts from $500-$1300 every week. Averaging out the workweek, sometimes I made up to $50/hr. Now I just go to school and live off of about $600 a month from student loans.
I work in a warehouse that ships off mustang/chevy truck parts all over America. Basically I put the orders in a box, print the invoice and thats it. $9/hr and I'm 19.
I've been lookin for wtf ima do with my life maybe this is it lol. How'd you manage to get your business up and running?Quote:

Marine Engineer, boat builder, plumber, electrician and capenter all in one.
I work for a company that builds boats from scratch, fits them out, the lot and then hires them out for boating holidays.
I'm not going to say how much i earn a year, but i smoke roughly £60 of weed a day, and another £20 a day on food and drink, and then bills on top of that, so you can imagine how much i make. I dont need to say it.

well. lets see here, I don't want to take this off topic,but it went something like this;Quote:
I've been lookin for wtf ima do with my life maybe this is it lol. How'd you manage to get your business up and running?
I cleaned pools on a route for a guy in Newport Beach (where I was going to cooking school) when I was fresh out of High School as a part time job, I had a little Toyota and cleaned 10 pools a day mon~fri (I loved it! had my head phones ,shorts ,sun etc ( I should start another thread about the naked and nude housewives I "ran" into!) well, I cleaned pools and spas for about 2 years while I was going to Chef's college at night I then started my own Service Co. by placing an ad in a local paper..I got loads of call for repairs and eqpt replacement I built my route pretty fast (I paid a lot of attrition to my customers and their needs and read everything about water chemistry and everything about swimming pools and their applications respectively. (I'm a voratatous reader and read trade and service magazines) I had to obtain all the necessary local permits to conduct Biz as a Service Co. (this was real easy..you pay your local taxes and you should not have too many problems from competing co.'s)
I built my service Co from 20 customers to well over 300 in about 3 years ! I had 4 other people (independent contractors) working my route for me while I ran around replacing pool pumps and doing acid washes etc on those pools (this was more money then I ever could make cleaning pools all month!) but I had to have the service accounts to get the work
I studied for my Pool Service Tech card and was able to get my contractors lic to do larger jobs (apartment houses hotels etc)
after about 5 years of doing this and finishing Cooking school I started a catering co selling sandwiches to local offices I also built up this route and sold it to my one and only employee for 10K..I used this money to secure and open accounts at local swimming whorehouses
where they would give me terms (30 days net FOB) this allowed me to generate my cash flow to advertise and grow my Co even further
I did this for a few more years making a pretty good living (I was single and renting a house down by the beach with 3 roommates..my rent was bascily FREE after I charged the roommates 600 a month ..so I paid all the utility's life was good BWK Before Wife & Kids lol)
I then applied for my C~53 Pool Builder lic with the state (Ca allowed you to apply for your lic after 5 or more years in you perspective field) I studied my ass off and took the test and passed! this was no easy task (I hate taking tests !) the state wants all kind of $$ and a 15K bond luckily I had the cash and was able to deposit this amount in a "cash bond" with the Contractors board (I latter was able to use my house as leverage and got the cash back!)
I hacked away for many years still servicing pools and repairing them
I sold my entire service Co to a large Co for 200K I devoted my time to cooking at a friends recently opened restaurant and did catering and parties for tall ships (big $$$ boats) for rich clients in Newport Beach and Huntington Beach
I drove my 71 Caddy convertible and spent cash like a drunken sailor for a few years until it got old (oh btw I did a lease option with my landlord for the house I was renting and ended up owning the house by the beach for a song with a lease option and about 25K in cash)
I latter sold that house (after renting it out for summer rentals) for 1.2 million (I bought it for 625K!...I got lucky I thank JaH for this "good luck!) PRAISE JaH he will provide!
Oh yea after/while all this I was able to get my AA in Culinary Arts and get a job as an ast chef at a local restaurant and did some bar-tending at night (just to meet girls and free drinks!lol )
I now build swimming pools and spas and specialize in custom water features (waterfalls,koi ponds laps pools etc) I use all Sub contractors to build these prodjects. I'm married (to a MILF lol)and have 2 awesome kids (Katie & Blake)
It was not an easy road at times (I got sued twice for construction defaults) and was out of work for some time with a back/neck injury i suffered (hence the Medical Mary Jane! Thank you prop 215!)
If I would give any advice, that would be learn everything you can about your perspective trade and talk to others in your same field, you'd be surprised how people will tell you their story (hence, me writing this) they will share there pit falls and stories of success!
My story is a combination of luck and hard work, but I feel the only way you "get lucky" to to be in the places you can "make" your luck work! Network! tell everybody you know and even more to strangers what you do DON'T STOP wake up every morning and tell yourself "today I'm going to make more money then yesterday"
I now have a lifestyle where I can enjoy flying kite with my kids and wine & dine my wife at my terms! I go to Maui 3 ~4 times a years and take 2 big vacations with the family for 2 weeks at a time. It's taken 16+ years to "get here" and I never forget that it can be taken away in a moments notice. I live life within the moment and thank God for his blessings upon me!
I wish you luck and hope you get your Brass ring this world has alot to offer but by being humble and giving to others in need things will fall into place
That's my story (and I'm sticking to it!) sorry about the misspelling (why no spell checker here??)
~Hazz:thumbsup:
I read it all man. Seems like all the hardwork paid off in the long run hopefully I'll be able to tell how i get rich later in life.
