Ok, so i'm really not a pornstar...

I know, i know... You're all disappointed!

;)

I am a Support Consultant for a Software Company owned by one of the biggest investment-banks in the world. It is my dream job, i have wanted to work for this company since i was 14 :)

I make "ok" money... $50K... Looks great, but for what I do, it's shit. When i was contracting (which i did for 12 months before going permanent, i was making over $25 an hour :))

same here. and jason might be working for starbucks soon too1!!!

i used to be a stock boy with easy hours. i operated fork lifts and drove big ass turbo charged trucks. i made 9.50 / hr, the job was a little to much for me to handle while going to school at the same time. fork lifting sounds very easy but it actually takes a lot out of you when your sitting on the thing clutching for hours. :cry: and yes i might be working at starbucks with justin, helping teenage girls get fat.

I am a Shift Supervisor for one of the largest security companies in the world.
I make around $550.00 clear a week. Its ok money, will be promoted to Project Manager in a month or two if I stay. (Negotiating Salary with the cheap bastards.) I am also testing for AT&T at the moment. You would be suprised at what you forget in 8 years when you get out of a field of work, then go back into it. Don't use it you lose it I guess...LOL I used to be a telecommunications engineer. Use to clear about $1,500.00 weekly. I miss those days...LOL

I don't make as much as SC. :p Chemical technical service rep for more than 11 years so far and bored as hell, so I am working on a position as plant manager for a much smaller company. Initial pay would be about the same, but potential galore if I prove myself over the next year or two. Interview #4 was last Friday and I should have a final answer by Thursday. :x:

Whats a normal tip for you? Ive always wondered what I should tip lol. If my pizza bill is like 25 bucks and got in a decent time I tip 3-4 bucks, is that good/bad?

long branch
I used to deliver pizza, I still maintain that i am the best delivery guy in long branch. It helps having grown up here all my life and thats its a small town. I made 300-400 a week delivering at Dominos, And i was putting a ton of miles on my car (The NA sup took it like a champ). Now Im an assistant manager and i make 11$ an hour plus they give me mad 1.5 overtime. Like 12 hours a week. Its nice money but the hours and BS are not worth it. Im working on getting a full time job at Bank of America. Its 10 an hour but much easier, better hours, benefits, and paid vacation. Plus i dont have to make pizza or clean the store. Im leaving for college in NC for the spring semester, so im gona have to find a job down there too.

Wood and ceramics hobby shop up until a week ago, I made $9.50/hour before 6PM, $10.45 after 6PM. The Marine Corps pays me about $18k a year, plus full medical and dental and 1 month off a year. If you include my benefits, I was making up until recently about $54k a year, or $25k a year without the benefits.

Default Resolution Specialist full time. I consistantly work 1-2 hours OT each day there.

Produce associate part time at Wal-Mart, two days a week. I work on the weekends there, so I actually work 7 days a week. It's damn tiring for sure. I'll be finding out this afternoon if I get to transfer to the Wal-Mart I work right beside at my full time job. If I do, then I'll just work there a few hours each day and have at least one day off a week finally.

Let's put it into other terms here. I live in a place where cost of living is minimal. No one around here makes much money becuase most things are cheap here. My total monthly expenses (including food, all bills, rent, etc.) are $1069.94 monthly. I clear $1729.96.

I have play money to say the least ;).

It may not be much to some, but I'm living comfortably.
