Shit sucks, but I get paid over minimum wage and I don't have any expenses, so just lots of cash money dolla bills for sick fits.

used to work at a shady internet store, now am coasting off a shit ton of money my grandma gave me.

Literally just walk around Beijing and look like you aren't just a tourist, people will come with job offers to you if they spot you. I often just hang out in pubs or cafés alone and someone will walk up to me with a job offer.

If nothings come for a while i'll do a quick thebeijinger daycare english teacher job or something.

It's a great life, you don't need anything but your pale skincolor and somewhat decent looks (I've seen ugly ass people get model jobs here, just for being white.)

The only thing is that you have to be out there, and often can't just sit around in your apartment waiting for jobs to come to you. (Even though sometimes they do.) Seem approachable, and strike up conversations with locals on said bars and cafés.

>>8785597
You don't need it, but just knowing how to introduce yourself and your nationality helps a lot. Also, say n? h?o instead of hello to people. They appreciate that.

Furthermore, when talking to a job provider, adress them by surname and profession. (???? / Di?nwú teacher, so follow their gramatical system on that.)

Software developer. Before tax and with my bonus, $65k/yr.

For a 24 year old who has been out of college for a year in a midsize midwest town, it seems like a lot of money. I did statistics so I get to do development in areas that are more related to that, which I enjoy. I think I might go for a PhD though.

>>8785763
Also, for those interested, it's always best to get into personal finance early. When people mention how much they make, that leaves out health care costs, 401(k), other retirement accounts, stock options, etc. I use my company's employee stock purchase plan to get an extra $3k or so in a bad year, I max out my 401(k) match, and I max out my IRA. Additionally, my health savings account usually adds $800 or so per year, $500 of that being from my employer.

My point is that it's best to keep in mind that the numbers people throw out can mean incredibly different things, and there are plenty of ways to optimize your savings so you can retire earlier or wealthier. I can still go on vacations and make plenty of luxury purchases, but I save and invest first. Takes a load off my mind.

>>8785797

There's plenty of in-between, especially with electronic music.

>>8785870
Being able to make a sustainable income off being a musician is the dream tbh. I've legit only played one show and got paid $200, but the buzz u feel after playing, so good

I'd be interested to know abt this guy tho. I assume he's well established.

In Denmark, you get paid for studying. If you work part-time along your studies, you're basically rich. Even with the high taxes and equally high cost of living.

Well maybe not rich, but you can easily make it on your own without any savings when going into it. And still be rather /fa/.

32-36 hours isn't part time. If you're listed as part time and not getting benefits you're getting ripped off.

I work part time for $13 an hour (22-28 hrs/week). My take home pay is typically $350-$425 every two weeks with a $100 bonus every month. Once I pay for gas to drive to work and school and back, plus food every day I save maybe $20 from every paycheck.

No idea how you guys afford even basic shit on your min wage jobs. I haven't been able to afford new clothes for over a year. I'm wearing the shittiest clothes at all times of the day. I probably get made fun of behind my back even though I study tons of designers and try to come up with potentially good fits, I just can't realize them because of how little money I have left over every paycheck.

My department is called Patron Services. We are basically concierges for the VIPs that attend the Symphony or Opera.
We'll do anything from exchange tickets to another night or add more if they have more guests to hiring a driver for their evening and buying them dinner before the show.

Sometimes we'll have to take them out to dinner to try and get them to donate more. We also exchange tickets with businesses, so we get spa days, 5 star meals and other fun things. And tattoos once.

Best job I've ever had.

buddy, you need to get some self-respect and find yourself a job that treats you right
cuz that is some sad deal

Server, bus boy at overpriced pizza place. I make about 4.63 an hour plus 4-7 dollars in tip outs an hour for busing tables, and serving I make 2.26 an hour plus plus $3-15 dollars in tips every hour. I make 13 cents more than mostly everybody on support and front of house because I got a bonus in 2012 and they did away with those extra weeks worth of pay bonus' so that was the last year to get it. I make about 590-650 every two weeks working around 40 hours or so. I mostly spend my monies on car payment plus insurance and other shitz. I just wear American apparel tri blend shirts, black dickies 874 work pants and dr martens 1925 oxfords. I have two jackets, a levi trucker jacket and a german flecktarn parka. I don't really give a shit about clothes but I have a lot of stuff from levi vintage clothing, our legacy, hickoree's hard goods ect. like 3,000 dollars worth of clothes sitting in my closet from purchases from the last three to two years.
I just like browsing /fa/ for all the beta fags who go >why no girl dancing with me? >am I ugly? >should I get a HY?

I'm a student and I work part time at a digital design agency.

It's not a problem for me to buy expensive stuff really, I just save for the pieces I want so it might take me a while.

Also I can still study up to 2 years for my masters and live on campus for $350/mo compared to $1300 duplexes so why the fuck not 8-)
It's a bit fucked up tho since from my class (we were about 60ish) 7 have finished their masters, 12 are finishing their bachelors this year and the rest are 50/50 working actively at their masters/doing minimum courses to stay at school while working full time

>>8795814
I live in Norway and I pay taxes. If he pays more than 30 % he's getting fucked up the ass. The most anyone here pays in taxes is 42 %, and the ones that pay that much all earn over $1.1m a year. Norway isn't as retarded as Denmark and the NL, where people pay like 55 %.

>How can you afford all these clothes?

Pro tip: nobody here wears expensive designer shit all the time. ESPECIALLY the brand whores who claim they wear expensive designer shit all the time and call everyone else poorfags.

For every one Loro Piana sweater I have I probably own 5 from brands like Zara or Uniqlo. That's probably typical here. You pick your spots and you make a decent investment when you find a good piece on sale.

>>8785311
hahahah do they sell that at dollar tree?

>>8790326
Good point, Anon. But you should try anyway... having good friends and at least knowing what it's like to hold a woman in your arms are things you should at least try to have.

>>8790326
what dota team?

>>8799159
Do you have to go to school for this kind of shit?

>>8799269

No you basically go get your basic certifications from recognized classes(most only last a day), apply to any decent oil construction company, start at the bottom as a laborer for a couple months (which still nets you a really nice sum), pester your boss to operate machinery for a while, get operating hours under your belt, get promoted or leave said job to get promoted at a new company as an operator.

Raises in this line of work are pretty normal if you're competent so your pay will go up with experience. I should also mention it depends a lot on where you work too, western canada pays a lot of money for anything oil related.

I work in a Paul Smith warehouse. Pay sucks big time (barely above minimum wage) and in the couple of years I've worked there, I've seen a handful of stuff I actually like. It's all ridiculously overpriced and I can't believe the prices of some of the things. I literally got my first Paul Smith piece of clothing a few weeks ago (pair of jeans) because I didn't have to pay anything on them (staff discount).

Steal the stuff. You work in a warehouse that can't be hard. Stealing is how I make up for my shitty min wage retail job.

I work at American Apparel. Pay is good and I regularly have orgies with my coworkers. Shit is cash.

~450 euros/month in college. I'm getting paid just to study. It's cool.

>>8801186
So it's true what they say. American Apparel doubles as a whore house? I've heard stories of cashier girls who've sucked their boss' dick behind the counter and all that.

>>8801263
I don't know mate, as a guy I don't know anything about it but I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happens. We only get high and fuck together, that's it. We tease a lot each other at work too.

Pay is shit and the management is generally borderline retarded tho. also, the girls are some of the most vapid pieces of shit you've ever met... head game on point tho lol

25 hours a week, $28.60/hr, though shifts have died recently so I'm hoping to get a new job in a different government department at $33~/hr, 40hrs/wk.

>>8806632
Just finished reading Flash Boys. Neat book. Still conflicted as to how I feel about HFT. What use would a prop trader be at a firm that trades (I'm imagining) entirely off of algos?

As for the OP, I'm a timeshare salesman in my first year of work. I make $11k base. With bonuses, it looks as though I'll take home around $120k this year.

Are you honestly telling me you graduated with a degree in babbymath economics and were hired at a HFT firm? I'm graduating with a major in finance and a minor in math, could I expect to get hired at a firm like that, or did you have connections? I was under the impression that HFTs hired masters and Ph.Ds in physics & mathematics, etc.

not that guy but I work in a movie theater. not independent but im assuming its the same thing at most theaters.

Basically get hired at a movie theater (easy as hell btw, just make sure youre available all day friday and weekends) then after working there for a few months and moving up the ladder a bit you can request to learn about other functional areas of tthe theater(meaning stuff besides concessions and ticket monkey) and projectionist is one of those areas. Its a lot of stuff to learn and can be pretty shitty when something goes wrong during a show and everyone blames you but its easy once you get the hang of it
