My job is not bad, i put 8-9 because i make 8.75 an hour, but where i work i get commission and that usually adds about another 1-1.25 per hour depending on the week.

Fixed. I also added another option to the list. I do not get an hourly wage. I am on salary. Works out good. Get the same paycheque every week no matter what.

-Matt

P.S. BEFORE I was on salary I was making $20 per hour.

Does that include room service and a full continental breakfast , Tim?


Sorry, man, but it had to be done... you can't hang a pitch like that one out there and not expect somebody to take a swing for the fence with it.


I'll be heading for the bunker now... somebody holler when the storm's over.

I'm being serious here for a change ...I'm a home inspector and charge according to the size of the house. It usually comes out to $250-$300, and it takes me between two and three hours to inspect a house.

My last job (shoeing horses) averaged out to about $60 an hour...so I'm making almost double the money now and it's not as hard (physical) of a job.

I get $8.74 but I just started. I was supposed to get $9.90, but something got messed up that I'm trying to fix. I work outside, so when it rains I get a really easy day and still get paid for a full day. We work an hour or two and then head to the shop to watch TV for the rest of the day. I get a work truck for the day as well, so it has a few perks and it's what I love to do (cutting grass and landscaping for the town). By the end of this year I should be in the $14.50 range, hopefully.

$12.15 right now. I will be getting a raise next week, and reimbursement for the last 3.5 months (when I should have gotten the raise).

In August I will be bumped up to a new position, and into the $14+/hr. range.

Not too bad for only a year and a half at my first 'real' job (first one that pays over the table).

I am a salary employee also. Half my paycheck goes to rent and student loans and then another portion of it goes to my truck payment.

$10.50, since I'm still on my 90-day "trial"- no benefits, lower wage, etc. until they decide I'm worth keeping. Unfortunately, I go back to school about 95 days after I started the job.
