How old are you? How much do you make?

[BigJ]

Right now I'm 19 and making roughly $18,000 a year working 35-40 hours a week. In 2 weeks, my salary will be going up to $24,000 a year.

On the side, I average about $400-$500/month doing various computer services.

So that brings me up to about $28,000 a year in 2 weeks.

This is while taking 17 credits this semester. If I didn't have class, I could actually take up a job that wouldn't have to fit around my school schedule and be making substantially more.

24, suffered from some health issues over the last few years so I'm not in school or even working full time. I make a little over 20k a year working from home just part time, maybe 10-15 hours a week at most. My life is rather ****** at the moment but getting better. I guess it would be around 10-24 an hour but it varies, I don't really have to pay much tax since my work office is my home and these things can be construed as tax deductions for work from my understanding.

25/$8 per hour/retail/LOSER

wow

I'm 16, working for $8/hr parttime since late June. I work for a local, privately owned data recovery small-scale business. It's pretty easy, esp. for the money, but whenever I make a mistake, it often times can be disastrous. Extremely high stress at times, other times so cushy it's a bit suffocating.

I'm 20 and I make $16/hr. It really depends on the field, and what type experience you have. $10 really is not bad, considering what many many people in this country survive on.

[JBT]

22 @ 32K a year. I'm moving away from VT in a month to AZ to see if I can find something that pays better...

 

[georgi55]

Just turned 22 last week, $15/h working as sys admin for a small company in DC,
then I do on call job for few other small companies and for 3 hours I make $150, which includes the time stuck in DC traffic.
Work 3 days a week, then 2 days I go to college taking 13 credits. Weekend is for me and my fiance.

I could probably make more if I went completely on call but I like the security of getting $360 before taxes a week for sure.

25 and make about $50k

 

[Chaotic42]

I'm 23 and I make $11.50/hr, which is about the going rate for experienced fast food workers in the area.

I am very unhappy with my pay.

So, you make roughly $187,000 per year ($90/hr average x 2080 hours per year)? I doubt it.

I think the better question is how many billable hours you have per week. That's a little more indicative than just spitting your billable rate out there.

 

[mztykal]

23 and around 25k a year. Sad yah? Gonna do something about it soon as I stop being lazy. 1 year left of school and I got a few certs to stop being lazy about and take the tests. That should raise my income enough to be decent.

 

[darkplayer]

33 making around $40K w/full benefits (free: medical, dental, bus pass, 80% tuition assistant and 401k 100% match). My hobbies allow me to make an extra $200-$1k per month, if I'm motivated enough to peel myself away from my PC.


Shhhhhh...my precious, I was just kidding, I will never leave your side ; )

 

[compuwiz1]

Liars? Maybe some do.
Ok, let's all scan our paystubs up somewhere. The only problem is, that would break the anonymity of the internet.
BTW, I'm quitting my job this week. I don't think they pay me what I'm worth. LOL
I'm high maintenance, with a huge sense of entitlement, and some huge habits.

 

[Acanthus]

23, $8 an hour.
