Just got a job as a clerk working for the county after years of a shit job printing. Making a little over $16, but it'll go up 5% a year plus whatever the Union negotiates. The benefits and retirement plans are sweet.

Live with my mother still. Very stereotypical NEET, I know. Even without her, managing in my country (Australia) without employment would be possible, if I were disabled. But I'm not disabled. Although I imagine the fact I've been a NEET for two long years is definitely some sign of mental issues, but, eh. I'll be employed sooner or later, hopefully.

14-16 hours a day? I couldn't imagine that. 7.5 per day for me and even then I've often had enough by lunch time.

there is no way i could have handles 14+ a day when i started but after a few years you get used to it. you gotta push yourself if you want to get stronger though.

I'm a teacher.

I get £32,000 a year, which isn't bad but you lose a lot of social time. Evenings during the week are usually spent marking and preparing for the next day and at least half a day on the weekend goes on planning.

Probably work around 60-65 hours a week.
>>
>>703380444
nice to know that teachers don't make shit in EU also.
>>
>>703380057
I guess if you like the people you work with than those hours would be alright, I can't stand any of my coworkers I'm 47 and they're all 17-20 years old and they're always making fun of me for being 47 and making 11.50 an hr
>>
>>703375197
im a carpenter. I make 23.50 an hour and soon to make 27.

But it all depends on hours and work availability. Between unwanted vacations and shit tonnes of OT i clear about 40k a year.

Im also an experienced exterminator and i have an application in progress for my own business. Thatll be approx. 125$/hr and my costsll be low.. If I can market properly ill be a rich rich man.

I am a School Psychologist intern (the last thing I have to do before my phd is done).

After this year, I might work as a professor, or open up a private practice doing child therapy and assessments.

Currently I make about 24k. 40-55 if I go for a post doc next year, 65-85 if I work in school distirct (185-200 day contract ftw), or 55 as a bitch assnt prof, or >150k in private practice.
>>
>>703380732
yeah well you don't live too far from me i can't believe your not making more money. try and go to another company and see if you can make more. shit mcdonalds would probably pay you more.
>>
>>703380798
in your industry word of mouth is your marketing. just do a good job and charge fair prices.
>>
>>703380684
Nope. Tops out at £38,000. Then you either have to become a deputy head or head.

To be honest the pay isn't bad but when you take into account the amount of hours you put in...that's when you feel ripped off.
>>

Yeah, because im pocketing all the money there is no reason I cant undercut the competition and my old employer like crazy. I dont want to charge so low that i look cheap and half assed though. Still my prices will be boss town.

Service guy in a small company.
6 hour days. 90k a Year.

>>703381292
School hours are 6 hours a day with 1 hour for lunch. So really my day is 5 hours long.

Bliss right?

Teachers get screwed on what they're expected to do which HAS to take place in their own time. School might start at 9am but I'm there at 7am and leave at 6pm and then work a minimum of another hour when I get home.

Add on top of that the fact that most teachers will pay out of their own pocket for extra resources and it can be a real kick in the balls.

Unusual to find someone so understanding of how teachers live on 4chan.

Yeah, pretty much this planet is an empty shithole for most of us. You can only afford to do anything on earth if you're born into wealth. Otherwise, it's work, stay at home, or occasionally eat somewhere out like once a month.

I just had a job like yours but my boss was a
piece of shit. Nicest guy in the world until I got injured working for him. Then I was FUCKED. Was promised workers comp after 2 weeks off and it simply never came. I'm still screwed by the bills. I'm trying to get a comp sci degree so I can stay the fuck away from construction asap.

Just don't get injured or your boss will dump you like a hot load of shit. Believe me. you are nothing more than a tool for your boss. Start your own business while you're still young and capable to do the work on your own. Fuck working for someone else. Your boss will always turn on you no matter how nice they seem.

some bosses are nice some are not. ive worked for both. but getting workers comp isnt up to your boss, he pays workers comp insurance at the beginning of the year and another company handles it. its not up to his at all.

Wastewater treatment operator. $40k with full benefits including employer matched retirement plan, blue cross/blue shield health dental and vision insurance, small life insurance policy, (plus a lower rate on my supplemental policy), 2 hours per week (becomes 3 after 10 years) of both sick and vacation time (maximum annual rollover of 160 hr vacation and 960 sick), paid state holidays, plus a take-home company vehicle.


Been doing this for 2 years, I hope to become the chief operator over our plant after my boss retires in 5-6 years (could be even sooner - he's pretty damn old.) Eventually I want to be the director of water utilities for our little municipality.

Just lie on your resume stupid. I listed 2 years of experience working in sales to get my first sales job. When I got there, all I did was ask questions and not know how to do shit and nobody batted a fucking eye.

Just. Fucking. Lie.

It's the only way to succeed in this fucked up world. Especially for your kid. Match your resume for each job you apply for. Don't send a cookie cutter resume. Every resume has to be different from every category of jobs. I once got a job with computers because I made up 3 companies that don't even exist that I "used" to work for. Had to do that to survive after the 2008 meltdown. It's the only way people will hire you

I actually did this for a while after I started there. I carried a bottle of quick fix plus to work every day for a few months, but getting high just isn't worth the stress of always having to make sure I had it with me (at any point during any day I could be taken to the clinic for a drug screen), and making sure I don't get caught using it during the drug screen.

Car payments arent the issue. Theyre low. Same with my insurance. I didnt want to worry about the major repairs a 4g car could bring, which i used to deal with on ny old car. The issue is parking in my city is insanely high, and i could be sent up to 100km away to work, so its hard on gas

The problem isn't what you know. It's who you know. Apply to the union by all means. You might get a lucky break and they might need an extra few people who aren't the sons or brothers of the current ones in the union that year.
