Okay guys. I'm tired of working in my dead end job, and something just dawned on me: Every time I've grown my income, it was by switching to a higher paying job.
I'm 22 and my first job was at a furniture store for about 10k a year. My next step up was about 15k as a stadium janitor, and I worked at walgreen's part time at the same time, so roughly 20k. Now I work at a car wash and make roughly 24k a year.
I always hear people saying that their 35-50k a year sucks, but I can still save on my 24k a year. I just want to grow my income and I know a lot of you do as well.
Post your career and salary, or hourly wage, and let's help each other get some more paper.

Yes, studies have shown one should switch jobs every 2 years or so in college educated fields to maximize lifetime earnings. I'm sure similar logic applies to retail/service jobs.

What do you do for a living and how much do you make?

Made 173K last year, but I don't work much anymore. I live a minimal lifestyle.

I'm pretty minimalist myself. I only make 24K a year, but I save about 600 bucks a month, at least. You must be pretty good at what you do. I'm looking for where I can go to make a better salary as an employee, so I can save enouigh to start my own business.
