Jobbers gonna job

I'm an illustrator at a design firm.

It pays pretty well, but they kind of treat us like shit.

>>5832205
Do you get paid based on how much time you spend doing something?

Also I work at an amusement park.

>>5832151
I just want to know what acer anon does to afford all those toys so I can do it, too.

>>5832221
Yeah, it's kind of like a mix between hourly rates and commission. We get a set hourly rate for how long it takes us, and then more based on how well it sells. I dunno if that's how it works everywhere though.

>>5832151
I am a screenwriter and write for tv shows and sometimes films but I am not an auteur, just like a writing mercenary for some studio

>>5832151
I work do compensations for a huge company. Pays like shit, but it's enough to get toys.

>>5832151
I'm a caricature artist at an amusement park, get min. wage. Currently a student so still living with my parents.

I'm a woodworker. I basically just spend my day running the miter saw, making measurement calculations, and crafting things. It's cool and makes you seem more manly than a desk job but quite a few people get throat and lung cancer apparently so maybe it's not too great.

Tech support for Apple as part of a college program

Im a first grade teacher at a private school for special needs kiddoz

>>5832151
I'm a cobbler, studying computer science on the side.

The pay is alright; I'm not wealthy but I can spend a couple hundred on toys in a month.

Used to be a sales force manager for a certain communication company. Made fat stacks and got addicted to imports.

Now I work as a marketer in a much smaller town and make almost half what I did before and it's very, very, very, very hard to make the appropriate spending habit adjustments.

I work at amazon

Pros - lots of exercise
Cons - everything else

My PhD in history of art got me a job as a manager of my family's tiny b&b, and a side gig as a dog host.

Life is wonderful.

By trade I am an artist(Composer, Crafter, Whatever)
but I moonlight as an autist, so I'm in between actual paying jobs right now.

Part-timer front desk at a bowling center for a little above minimum wage. Going to school still (mechanical engineering) and still living with my parents so plenty of money for little plastic japanese robots and people :^)

Its Australia, $20 an hour, I got no family, don't study, I live life minimally apart from what I collect, work task are *only* hard because its always understaffed but since I'm in no position of power I palm it off

Best part is my job is pretty safe since I do all the work in the department, as in all the behind the scenes stuff, yet people think I'm just another cashier, kek

I work at one of these, which means I'm supposed to repair shoes for a living.

But in reality I spend most of my day fixing petty shit for rude urbanite baby boomers who can't so much as open the fucking battery cover on their TV remote, let alone put some goddamn AAs in there. I refuse to believe you can't use a screwdriver.

Who stand there breathing down my neck, insisting I drop everything to help pick out "good quality" shoelaces for their snot-nosed grandson who just spilled a jar of keyrings all over the counter.

Who have the fucking nerve to insist that I don't charge them for work I've already done, because "in my day it cost two dollars".

Fuck you, lady. Nobody gives a shit about your daughter's wedding, or how expensive this cake knife was. Just tell me what to engrave on it.

No, please skip the life story. I don't care about your trip to Harbin. Why aren't you people familiar with the concept of "holding up a line"?

Yes, I'm good at engraving. I get paid to engrave shit. No, I cannot engrave in Copperplate Gothic Bold, that's not how it works. Do you have brain problems?

No, I cannot get it done in the next 10 minutes. Not even if you weren't at the end of a long queue. Yes, I know you're in a hurry. We all are.

No, fuck you, it's not $5. I don't care what your friend told you, you can't get any kind of service for $5. Let alone custom engraving.

No, I will not reduce it to $5 just for you, the pensioner's discount is 10%. You're clearly not a pensioner either, you're like 43.

No, you don't get a discount because you work at the fish market. Not that we don't give discounts to the fish market, but I know everyone who works there, and you're not one of them.

Yes, you can go to the guy across the street. Yes, I know he's cheaper. Use his services and you'll find out why.

No, you may not speak to the manager. Kindly vacate my store and let the paying customers take their turn.

Fuck people, old people especially. Gas them.

It's fun though.

Working casual "Manual Labour Boy", pretty much doing the odd jobs needed to keep a rickety old buisness building up and running.

As a side gig i'm also self employed in a toy importing and online store business, so i'm pretty much able to get my personal stuff for wholesale price and with a tiny shipping overhead because of that.

Security right now while I'm waiting for my Navy board to meet. I'm applying to the meteorologist/oceanographer which is a small enough field that they will probably reject me since they have enough people, so I'm also taking the Mass Environmental Police exam next month and feel like I have a good shot there.

Pay for security isn't great, but it's super easy work that looks great on a resume for most jobs I'm interested in.

I work in a grocery deli and run a small business designing soft toys and furry stuff on the side. During the rest of the year I go to school for product and toy design so I have to hoard money during the months I have the time to work.

I don't really buy a lot of toys, but I spend a good chunk of my savings on toy design class projects that I then get to keep. It's nice.

>>5832911

Old people are the worst. They're ALWAYS trying to scum for "deals" because they haven't figured out that the prices are tied to an internal inventory system and I can't magically drop the price of something. It costs what it scans, so unless there's some kind of pre-integrated sale going on, you ain't getting shit.

>>5832938
Fucking old people. Im the guy thats in electronics at walmart and none of them knoe how technology works and they want the "best" of everything for a low price. Not gonna happen. And the most they will ever know how to work is a flip phone. And they ask so many dumb fucking questions and a lot of them have smart phone, and they have the worlds information in their pocket fucking look it up you idiots. You ask me a question and i have no idea on the answer i fucking look it up. The stupid i deal with everyday is enough to make someone an alcoholic.

>>5832938
To be fair, it matters a lot where you work. I worked at Whole Foods for a year, and it was absolutely possible to do things like that. Probably once or twice a week, one of the other department leaders would come with a customer to the checkout line and tell me to ring it up at a different price.

>>5832254
really, min wage? How is it?

I head a guy on /ic/ saying he made $500 a week about with his caricature artist job. I'd like to try it but there isn't a park around where I live. Never did like the "loud and annoying" aspect of caricature style though... Something like that would help me to be less of a social retard though, and it would be somewhat related to my actual field...

Currently working in maintenance at a college, as a sort of "student helper". It's not giving me much, but I live with my parents so I can buy a figure here or there.

Currently working as a Support Technician for a tissue bank. Basically I just stock inventory and set shit up for processing techs, but I get to do some cool stuff like mix antibiotics. Talked to my manager, should be a getting promotion so I can process skin. Fucking cutting skin up, can't wait. Pays alright, currently at 11/hr, it's enough to be able to split rent on a house, pay for my shit, and have a decent 150 bucks for toys a month.

>>5832979
How good? Ive been thinking about getting a degree or whatever in that

>>5832938
Actually, I can charge whatever I want for any service as long as it's not above what's stated in the company guidelines.

Hagglers always get the maximum price.

Recently promoted to supervisor position on the night shift's janitorial crew at a certain big box store. $14.75hr with 40hr weeks, insurance, 401K, and stock-purchase plan. Also just finished my 2yr degree in Mechanical Drafting, so trying to find something full-time in the mech, design/engineering market that has all I'm getting with my current job or more. Nothing yet, though.

Currently just a college student. I was a bank teller for a long time and finally decided to get out of there and go back to school. Customer service sucks, but it sucks even more when you're dealing with people's money. They feel like they own you.

And to echo others here, old people do suck. "Yes. I know you come in every single day to make a tiny withdrawal. You still have to slide your card. I understand. That means you have to open your purse. I can't imagine the hardship this places you in."

My toy buying has definitely been impacted, but luckily my wife works, so we're not poor or anything.

Java programmer in a third world country at least I make more than the min wage, also I live alone but due work hours I dependend on my mother adress to ship my shit... She had some interesting reactions to my buying habits

My degree is actually in Video Game Development, Programming track, but that basically equates to applied comp sci at my college.

2 months out of college, I started at 60k/yr. Got an 8k bump up after about 6 months. Also, because it's relevant for salaries in this business, I'm in Chicago.

I tutor elementary school kids at a tutoring center. Minimum wage and the hours suck, but I make enough to be comfortable spending around $100 on toys each month. I'm going to school and still live with my parents so that helps a lot.

>>5832873
Yeah. Makes for some weird boogers at the end of the day sometimes.

I make 62k a year working a desk job with pretty good health insurance
After taxes I get to keep like around 40k and I feel poor
How the fuck are so many people getting by on less?
Do you live with your parents?
Are you all kids?

>>5833064
I'm >>5832927 and the security site I work at is actually an Amazon corporate site. It's really weird hearing how badly the fulfillment center staff is treated compared to the code monkeys.

They have a 'reflection room' which is just a room with an armchair and a sink that you can go into and think during your shift, and most people just kind of wander in anywhere from 8-11 before leaving well before 5 o clock.

>>5833123
22k in taxes? What shitty country do you live in?

I make 24k/yr, keep 20k. 24, single, split rent with roommates. After utilities it's about 475/mo, not including gas/groceries. I'm certainly not swimming in cash and it's taking a while for me to pay off some debt from when I first got a credit card and was dumb as hell, but I've got enough to eat that debt away, afford to eat out at least once a week at a decent restaurant and 3-4 times for fast food, buy some toys and vidya.

What kind of life do you live if 40k makes you feel poor? Honest to god I almost don't know what I'd do with that money if my paycheck fucking doubled.

>>5833123
>don't have kids
>don't take vacations
>don't splurge on electronics
>keep efficient older car as long as possible and know how to fix 95% of it
>state minimum auto insurance, lower tier obamacare insurance
I think it's more of a reflection on you that you live such a pampered and money-dependent life that you can't see how easy it is to live normally with a modest income. It's something our grandparents understood, but it died off with the baby boomers. The housing market crash was a perfect example. Houses of cards tumble easiest when large.

>>5833148
Because property values and location have no bearing on their situation
RIGHT

>>5833149
24, yeah. I live in Chesapeake, VA. Housing around here is pretty overpriced unless you want to live in a crime-filled neighborhood, so most people my age tend to split a house or apartment. I find that people really only start getting places by themselves once they hit the 25k/yr mark and even then, most studio/1bed apartments will run 700/mo before utilities. Cheapest I've found is 611/mo, probably gonna move to that by myself when I get a raise and get another credit card or two paid off.

>>5833152
If you live beyond your means, you live beyond your means. If you have a job in San Francisco, and can't afford a place in the city, you commute. If one couldn't get that through their head and bought a loft in the city for $2300/month, with $800+ on all minimum living expenses, on a $40k take home salary, yeah, that's the house of cards.

I work a pretty bottom tier job at Treyarch Studios. It's an enjoyable enough job but it pays shit. At least I get free food and drink everyday.

I'm currently looking for something better. I really want to get accepted into the JET program, so I've been brushing up on my moonspeak.

Weird thing is, I could easily get a job that pays double what I'm making right now, but it would be in a different field that I have no interest in. Currently studying programming too as back up in case other plans don't go well. I graduated 2 years ago, and I really don't want to go back.

>>5832938
I get that shit all the damn time. I work at Bed Bath and Beyond, every old fuck and housewife asks for coupons. Bitch we mail and text those out like candy, not I do not have any I can give you. I'm supposed to be receiving bitch, but since we're always understaffed I end up playing cashier a lot. I only got bumped up to 9 something an hour since they did a survey of my area and found out other places have been paying higher. I get shit for hours, work is mediocre, but I love my coworkers, at least.

>>5833190
Oh, and because I live in LA I pay almost 700 a month in rent alone for a tiny apartment, but at least the neighborhood is safe. Looking to find someplace cheaper closer to work or maybe in Orange County.

Prepare your anus for Weis. I heard they're planning on getting rid of team leaders and profit sharing, (or whatever they called it. Haven't been there for 2 years sorry) and making severe cuts to the buyers in order to standardize inventory. Essentially, they're planning on making it more like a regular grocery store. Get out while you can.

It's true, I work for Weis. They're trying to keep us all hush hush, but so many prople are about to be fucked.

A event person that does demos at supermarkets and stores (a bit of transcription work on the side).

At worst the job is boring (standing around doing nothing). My company is run by dipshits that envision that you give grand speeches on the wonder of PRODUCT, but in reality every one wants their free stuff quickly so they can wander off. Not that I mind I only see superiors like once a month so its pretty low pressure.

The amazing bit is giving out food samples. Jesus Christ eating is a skill you should have mastered by the age of 7, yet people can not help but drop shit all the time. Christ its a tiny portion in a tiny cup, yet somehow people can not get it in their mouths.

I'm a gardener.

I've been jumping shitty slightly higher than minimum wage jobs.

My degree is basically trash. I have money saved up so I can live fine and buy some toys every month.

Wasted dubs.

It's very easy for a good programmer to be the one out of work. They usually have a quirk that doesn't help at interview time. Meanwhile, the shitter lies well and is an expert at pump'n'dump.

>>5833640

Programming is science, it's about results. The 'but I'm an artist!!11' excuse just doesn't hold in today's CS world, and rightly so.

>>5833646
Science is about _correct_ results. Bad data and wrong decisions made upon it are worthless.

Is it a good idea to move to Cali with just an art degree in game design?

>>5833654

My point flew completely over your head. Being a good programmer today is just a part of being a paid programmer that regularly gets gigs, knows what clients want and how to deliver it in a compelling way; and none of this is the fault of a cruel world that doesn't understand how sitting in a basement 24/7 or sperging out at interviews is supposedly a sign of genius.

This holds for all fields and jobs. John Nash today would be an associate at best, overtaken by someone who has his depth/genius AND social skills to match.

nothing, I got fired from my part time retail job for refusing to work only 4 hours a week and demanding a raise. I was getting paid minimum wage after the recent minimum increase after working nearly 6 years with the company.

I work for the pallet shipping/LTL division of UPS. Payscale would be alright if I didn't live in an expensive area, but I basically spend my day alternating between doing paperwork and doing donuts on a forklift, so its not too bad. Kickass healthcare and pretty good benefits though.

My only real advancement options are getting a CDL and driving a truck or becoming a manager-which seems like a shit sandwich.

Still with my parents, saving up for a cheap house because mortgages are like half what rent is around here.

Auto insurance adjuster. Easy job, alright pay, definitely not using the degree I spent time and money on.

software developer.

I want to become a neet too. Where do I start?

I'm the marketing guy for a tech company

I was part of the JET program but now I'm just working as a tout in Shinjuku. Work's not bad, pay is great compared to what most make (thank you teaching connects). Probably going to finish the year and see what options I have by then.

>>5833876
I've heard very mixed things about teaching english abroad. Some people say they loved it, others say that it was the worst job they could imagine. Would you recommend giving it a shot?

>>5833206

Anything you've done for school that was a decent sized project is probably fair game to talk about on a resume or in an interview. I talked up my game dev final project as experience programming while working with a cross-functional team. Act passionate about what you do. Stress how much you like learning new things/tech (I hope you do). Everyone I meet has stressed that saying "i don't know how to do that, but I guess im about to learn!" is better than pretending to know things.

Ignore "5 years of experience in blahblahblah" in listings, it's bullshit put in there by HR. the actual interview will be with technical people, and they can usually tell if you have what it takes.

Programming skills carry over between languages, platforms, and frameworks. The specifics may change but don't doubt yourself, once you know how to write code you can learn the rest.

Not that you can control it, necessarily, but some places will give you a code challenge to complete on your own, which can give a really good opportunity to show what you can do with some time to think and even self-teach if necessary. Whiteboard interviews are the worst, and if you have to do one I'm sorry, but if a whiteboard interview is what knocks you out of the running for a job, then you honestly probably don't want to work there.

>>5833640
Its true, this can happen. But unless you're joining a company that has a staff of working full time on internal software, you're going to be dealing with clients, or at least internal management, and people skills are needed. I dunno what quirks you mean, but the guy I replied to mentioned being NEET, and declared a solid educational path "a meme" because he wasn't good enough to get a job. I have no sympathy for that, unless he's disabled. Autistic folks can and do get hired for programming jobs, if that's what you meant.

I make 500 a week doing as an in-house IT guy for a company that outsources the high level stuff. I'm supposed to be getting a raise soon, haven't seen it yet.

I think they recently noticed how much lack of work I have at times and asked me to cover for one of my friends in another position.

On the plus side, they're going to have me train with SQL cuz the outsource company is too expensive for tasks. I have no formal IT training. Making 20 bucks an hour to solve basic computer/network questions to a bunch of people who shouldn't be allowed near computers.

If you work as a freelance caricature artist you can rack in way more money, but since I'm with a big organization that hires a lot of artists I get small wages. Being a caricature artist does kind of require you to be more social, but one of the guys here has been doing this for 15 years and doesn't talk to his customers at all but still gets cheers because he's so good. If you suck you have to talk to your customers more so they'll think about the experience as a positive one even if the picture isn't so good.

I make barely over minimum wage working in an outsource call center taking calls for Bright House Networks. I hate some of my co-workers with a passion and want them either fired or dead, I don't care one way or the other. The people in charge have very high expectations from us agents to juggle both quantity AND quality of work, sometimes such expectations drive me insane and I want to quit, but... BUT, my toy hobby keeps me going, it gives me a reason to muddle through some very difficult times and I'm hooked right now on completing the 1:5 scale helmets from pic related, they're a total of 60 and 11 have been released thus far in my area, I have a long way ago so chances are I will keep my shitty job until I'm able to complete it, I don't want to miss one single release or I'll have a hard time getting previous releases if I'm out of a job.

I was dishes, it sucks bigtime. The money is ok but in the summer it's pretty much pure suffering. Flies everywhere, the sink always leaks and I'm sweating fucking bullets more often than not.

I say it sucks but really it's the people I work with that make it intolerably shite, always going on about how my town sucks and how shit my highschool is and how students are scum and have it easy. Yeah it's real fucking easy digging yourself into 20 years of fucking debt to get a degree that's not guaranteed to land you a fucking job because there's literally hundreds of other applicants just as qualified as you going for the same position. This is coming from someone who can't even spell academic or even install a fucking app to their phone.

Freelance graphic designer by day, produce worker by night.

I'm trying to make it to graphic designer full time status, but it's tough when you're living in NorCal, especially over by Silicon Valley and San Francisco. It also doesn't help that I live 30 minutes away from both mentioned locations.

I am essentially a QA tech at a giant multinational consumer goods company. I run all the numbers to see how good our shit is compared to other shit that other people make, then the high-ups run around screaming over numbers. What it really ends up is just me at a desk doing data entry all day. I graduated 2 years ago with a bachelor of science and after 2 years of working here I am up to $17.84/hr and feeling woeful about the lack of future career. Not even sure what I'd want to do. I guess be one of the people that yells about the numbers?

I work at a gas station. I get paid more than minimum wage and work full time. My workplace is pretty relaxed (boss doesn't mind us using our phones) but it gets very boring. I don't have a lot of saving right now because I over spend on figures.

I have 15k in CC debt from pruchasing toys the past 3 years
Fuck!

>>5835189
Jesus, at least people get the most basic structure of intellectual gain by putting that type of wasted money towards a bullshit degree. You spent $15k on maybe $7 worth of raw plastic.

>>5835211
Okay? And those other people wasted 15k on someone walking them through reading materials that they purchased. We're both on equal footing in terms of money wasting. The majority of worthwhile positions in strong companies don't give a fuck about degrees any more as long as you have a strong toolset and hands on experience, which you don't need college for.

>>5835336
>The majority of worthwhile positions in strong companies don't give a fuck about degrees any more as long as you have a strong toolset and hands on experience, which you don't need college for.

I'm a Family Enrollment Specialist. Basically, I'm the guy who you come to see when you want to drop your kid out of a school and enroll them somewhere else. I also double as a program coordinator for a series of sessions that teaches parents how to be more involved in their children's academic careers. I'm in charge of booking venues, hiring speakers, planning the "graduation" for the participants, getting the caterer, etc.

It's a decent gig, especially since there are two main "rushes". First was about a month ago when all the late-comer parents were scrambling to enroll their kids in schools and being pissed off when the school they wanted was full. Next will probably be within the next 2 weeks when school starts and parents start wanting to change schools because they've already formed an opinion on the school after like 3 whole days.

Also, the program coordinator business is a little stressful, but it's only 3 months out the year. Altogether, I probably work 4 months out of the year, and spend the other 8 months doing random little bullshit jobs for the company or sitting in my office watching Netflix and Youtube. For whatever reason, the company's wifi is unsecured, and I use my personal laptop to do all my business. They honestly have no clue what the hell I'm doing in my office most of the time.

Retail, 10.50 an hour. Asside from nearly no free time, insurance/car payments, and saving money to take girlfriend to prom I think it might go without saying that its been a while since ive added to my collection.

He quit because of that (he had morals), somehow he liked the oldies talking to him about their life stories, but when we used to work at kfc together he did all the talking and none of the work anyway

I know, I know. My co-worker had throat cancer (and is an 8 year survivor with no metastasizing, which is very lucky from what I hear) and he always talks about things to watch out for. It's definitely one of those "I wish I had done things differently" type of things.

Bud, you're gonna hate yourself when you're living in squalor as a helpless impoverished old person.

Your statment about science being about correct results was asinine. Your lack of ability to realize that these responses were about your folly show how moronic you are. No wonder you hold such a low position within your company, peon. Next time use terms correctly. APPLIED SCIENCE, you dense motherfucker.

$40 sounds about right for a full zipper replacement.

I wouldn't charge anything to tighten the zipper pull, though. That's pretty scummy.

24, been bouncing between temporary jobs since I finished school.
Last two jobs were buying & placing banner ads for a car company, and doing miscellaneous Excel and website/social media stuff for a credit insurance company.
Pay has been pretty good considering it's my first few jobs out of school, but on the other hand it's the most boring shit ever and the commutes are long. The people I work with are pretty ok and most days I just zone out and listen to podcasts while I work, but it's impossible for me to actually care about what I'm doing.

Right now i have two general directions I feel like I could go in:
1) Keep doing what I'm doing, move forward on a career path that I don't enjoy but don't exactly hate either.
2) try to find a job that I actually like, even if that means settling for less money

>>5839213
Right place right time. There are some comfy positions out there.

I want to get a job but I don't really have any important certified skill or any skills that I actually remember, and though I have a diploma on computer manteinance(?) but I haven't practiced since like 2010 so it might as well be obsolete.

What kind of skill would be a fast exit from NEETdom so I can stop posting here and fuel further my plastic crack habit? I can learn shit somewhat fast.
I'd ask /biz/ but they are assholes.

Really great resource to help you find jobs, learn more about them, and figure out what you need to get them.

http://www.bls.gov/ooh/
Will tell you a little bit more about jobs and whether they are in demand in your area.

Also check with your local community college to see what certificates/programs they have. Simple and affordable.

>>5839876
Thanks, anon.
Though I forgot to say I'm not American. Sorry for being retarded.

Child care. In my country this requires a special diploma in education. I don't really care for children's toys, I prefer dat sweet Nippon plastic folded 1000 times, but occasionally a kid will come in with a plush, doll or a pony that I have to go pick up on my way home. Pay is ok, hours are good, working with kids under 5 is breddy gud.

>>5839895
Ah, sorry, I shouldn't have assumed. But if your country has some kind of Labor Department/Bureau, they probably have a similar resource.

> Honest to god I almost don't know what I'd do with that money if my paycheck fucking doubled.
This. It's more money than I've ever dreamed of.

Me, I work in a call center. My area has a dozen call centers that people seem to cycle through. I'm only on my second one: I was at the previous for ten years, but the stress was intolerable so I was sick all the time and took advantage of the awesome health benefits they offered. The place still ends up doing a mental health number on people who work there.

My current place has zero stress (for me, at least) and apparently using my skills under so much pressure for so long at the old job made me absolutely fucking amazing at my new job (according to my boss and customer surveys). It's ironic, though, because the pay isn't very good and the benefits suck, and since my girlfriend isn't working (summer, she's an adjunct professor), I keep having to ask my Baby Boomer parents for help making ends meet.

Too bad I don't get a little bonus every time a customer says "With that voice, you should do radio!"

I buy Transformers maybe twice a month. Pic related was my last "splurge".

I'm hoping this job turns out to be a stop-gap before I go back to school for my Master's in Social Work: my area is underserved with social workers, and I was raised in the wild by a pack of therapists. I swear some people can smell it on me, the way I end up being used as a therapist sometimes. I wish I could bill the odd customer who tells me their life story and says they feel a lot better after that.

Wisconsin is pretty bad too.

I've never heard of someone getting fired, or not hired, because they were thorough. If that has happened, then that guy I feel bad for. Still don't pity NEETguy tho.

I live in New Orleans. Back when I was younger, I lived in an area called Metairie. It's actually a city on the outskirts of New Orleans, but it's so damn close that people lump it in with New Orleans.

Anyway, the place was great. Nice people, great neighborhoods, malls, tons of different stores...you basically never had to leave. I lived in an apartment maybe 4 blocks away from a big popular mall. 2 bedroom, 2 bath, pretty big place (damn near the size of a small house) was 1100 a month, water included. I shared the place with my (then) girlfriend and worked a job that paid maybe 25k. My (then) girlfriend was the manager of a store in the mall and probably made 25k as well. It wasn't too difficult to pay bills.

Now I live in the actual city of New Orleans, in a house, and my girlfriend is now my wife. I make 55k a year, she makes 65k a year (yes, she makes more than me, whatever). Our mortgage is fucking 750 bucks. This is a starter home, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, an entry room, a fuckhuge kitchen/living room combo, and a big ass computer room (oh and a laundry room). The neighborhood is pretty nice too.

Point I'm trying to make is that owning a house is usually cheaper than renting. It's crazy, but true. My wife and I would be rolling in fucking dough if we didn't have two kids. As it stands now, we're pretty comfortable.

It definitely helps to own a home, but the minimum wage here is $7.25 and housing is ridiculous so not many people can afford to buy. Also doesn't help that the only decent jobs one can get here are trade jobs, and nursing.

>>5841383
Not him but my buddy pays people to paint his models most of the time.

I'm a cobbler, it's min wage but i get a bonus every week based on what i have earned that week.and its multiplied weather i'm teaching an apprentice. chill job and lots of banter

I take care of a data center for a large telecom company in the US. Mostly just putting in fiber links and changing hard drives in servers and keeping things clean.

Make 63k a year to put presentations together
I have no reason to complain

>>5833671
Sneak back in in the middle of the night and take a shit in the store

>>5841396
A cobbler? Meaning you actually fix fixable shoes?

Isn't that sort-of a skilled job? How do you only make minimum wage at that?

>>5842283
Probably because of low demand, it's not like his job affords him a huge amount of clients. We live in a world where 99% of the shoes that are produced and bought are basically toss away plastic and nylon shit that is glued together by kids in Vietnam and Cambodia. It all tears apart so irreparably that people think it would be better to buy another pair for $45.

He probably just caters to business people that have $250+ leather shoes and maybe tradesmen or something.

I'm a parcel delivery contractor for AusPost, working in a small country town.
I get up in the morning, sort parcels, take the PO box mail and parcels around to the Post Office, sort more parcels, take the RMBs/out of town parcels to the Post Office, sort the last of the parcels and then scan them into the facility and then scan the one's I'm delivering onto my scanner, then do a morning drop to certain business' and what not, then go back and sort all my parcels into a more ordered form, for delivery. Then I deliver them.

My day is anywhere from 5 hours to 11 hours, depending on how much I have.

When you open people's mail for thoughtcrime inspection do you report every image of a flat chested female regardless of age or dress per Australian law?

>>5842314
Don't do any of that mate.
That's all done in the big sorting centers in the cities.
All we do is receive it, then sort it into which part of town it goes to, then take it there.

Pharmacist. It's stressful and high volume, but I make way more money than I know what to do with.

I just started working at a furniture company reception desks for businesses

It's pretty chill, basically all I've done so far is spend the day sanding surfaces, but I enjoy it

The repetitiveness of it while I just zone out with my headphones in is something I can get used to

I work weekends for the Retail Customer Service phone line of a large chain of British stores. Pay isn't the worst and for a weekend job to pay for figures whilst I'm doing college I couldn't really ask for me.

I wish customers would shut up about us going under like BHS though, they always say that when we do the tiniest bloody thing wrong.

How does that pay where you are?

I've heard it can pay quite well if you're reliable and well known in a school district (or, better, more than one district).

I tried substituting a little and the daily pay was great, but I didn't get much work and had to look for something more regular... so I became a temp.

I'm a counselor and and I run a little online store front for video games and toys.

I have so much respect for your profession, given the amount of work you do and the effort you put into it just so those old peeps can look presentable to (sometimes ungrateful) relatives that barely visit.
