It's hard to say, I get raises every 16 weeks, plus a 3% raise once a year, plus a COLA bonus once a year, plus COLA allowances, not to mention time-and-a-half and double-time overtime, so it's always changing, darn union workers.

 

No its not, its easy...you're in the union...you get paid Way To Much!!


BREW

 

And let the beatings begin!

 

Enough to eat out but not enough to save for retirement.
I have solved the problem by eating at Mcdonalds, I will not live long enough for retirement.

supersize me cause i'm already kingsize.

 

Hey, that's the same retirement plan I'm on! But I've added the tobacco use option for an accelerated early retirement.
+ -> ->

 

Enough to keep myself happy.

 

...man I love this place.


BREW

 

It's a blast!

 

Enough for an 18 yr old to buy his own truck and boat, while attending school full time. No payments either

 

Since I'm paid commission, my yearly gross varies greatly depending on the time of year, the particular jobs I'm working on, and where and how the politics are flowing throughout the shop.

According to various net services, the average yearly gross for my field is $38Kish. What do I make? Less than that.

 

$75k last year, I'm on pace to make about 85k this year. Overtime rules

 

I don't make a lot but have great benefits! During breaks I get free Big Macs, supersized fries, and drinks. The greatest benefit is that I meet a lot of chicks on the job. I bribe them with the free Big Macs and they might as well be mine. The problem though is McD-eating chics is that they weigh a ton.

 

Well, I'm retired, but the wife still works. It's NEVER enough.

 

Enough that we can keep a roof over our heads, food in our tummies, light to see by and a nice warm house in the winter months. Oh and pay off the truck!!

 

*When* I was working I averaged about $102,000 a year. But I am, and have been a full-time student since the end of January. Living on savings...heh. Truck is paid for (day 1), mods paid cash, and I financed 8k worth of my Focus to build some debt history for credit purposes.

Once I graduate college? Who knows, probably less than I was making by a LOT. I am heavily considering law enforcement, but I may get sucked into sales again at least for a few years to get a down for a house. San Diego is PRICEY!
