I'm on salary but FWIW:

my first "real job" was pool cleaning, hot labor for 8 bucks an hr (95-96)

ace hardware, started at 5.15, left 1.5 years later (managing a department) 6.50 have an open offer to come back, apparently good help is hard to find

worked for my old scoutmaster building PCB's 8.50 an hr FACTORY WORK SUCKS

2000-2004 local ISP tech support, got paid 11 an hour to surk the web 95% of the time

2004-current, work for/with my dad on Salary

 

I'm a utility location engineer. I work mostly with GIS mapping software (ArcView, GIS, Map, GTV, OSP, CiMage)

I've worked my fair share of crappy jobs though. My base rate is $12.91/Hour, but I get called to 2-3 emergencies each day, which pay a minimum of 3 hours of double time, each time. I'm also guaranteed 40 hours per week at regular wages.

 

I just had a change from $16.35 to drink beer professionally (I'm serious) to 18 for being an analytical chemist for a plastics company. Sudden job change and I get a raise--can't beat that!

Bummer note: I now have to buy beer for the first time in three years so it may actually be a paycut
