80+ is pushing it. the trick is to finish everything early but stay late to give the impression that you still have a lot of work. rest of the time is spent slacking off.

That's why being the boss = teh win.

$35/hour at 20 would be rare, but not that far-fetched. He could be a contractor working off experience rather than a college degree.
There is no way in hell you would be worth 35/hr only 2 years into an apprenticeship unless his oldman ran the place and the other workers didn't know about it
Oh, I meant this WHOLE thread would blow up a B.S meter

Ausm, $35/hr. isn't unreasonable. Unlinkely, but not unreasonable. day traders make much more. My friend make more in a month than I make in a year, and he is younger than I am. He is a Day Trader BTW.

Ah govt. spending, gotta love it. Imagine if the govt actually ever balanced its budget.
I'm 25, I work on a per job fee basis so it's hard to tell how much I make.
Typically 50 or so a year, depending on how hot the market is.

Damn, I'm in trouble.

No, you misunderstood (or maybe I wasn't clear enough). What I meant was that your "peers" become who you share the same path with. Unfortunately, I'm not friends with many of the kids I knew in highschool - only a few I keep in touch with, and only one of those is still in my hometown.
The reality is that for those who pursue professional careers, their "school years" are far longer than the average "high/some college" kid. Because of that, the peer group often becomes those they've last schooled with - in my case, law students (and now lawyers). Alot of the banker friends I have, or friends I've met through my lawyer friends along with some college buddies I knew (and I went to a competitive school with many kids following the banker/lawyer path).
80 hours a week is NOT pushing it, though someone here said as such. Here in Manhattan, many guys are working 85 - 100 hour weeks regularly in the banking field. In law its *slightly* lower, and fluctuates depending on the practice you are in. I am very lucky as I am in real estate, which typically, the best hours in the profession. I make a Manhattan lawyer salary like everyone else in my firm, but the hours are better: often, 10-7 and very few, if any weekends.
So, yes, while the hours/$ ratio does ratchet down many professionals' seemingly exhorbitant payscale, some of us do still make a good deal of money for what we do.
22 years old - More than most my age... or even 5, 10 years old for that matter...
37.5 hours a week, with 24-7 on-call.

unless you have firsthand experience in ibanking, i suggest that you keep your unsubstantiated estimates restricted to the confines of the law profession.

Indeed.
I'm 21, 22nd at the end of the year. Pay is low as I'm on a year in industry but I have finished my BSc in CS. I'm getting good experience and the work is getting more interesting and I'll be asking for some more challenging work after this project I am on is completed. I'll earn more later but people in England earn less, get taxed more but different country different costs of living. We have free albeit slow health care
.I'd rather work more 'relaxed' hrs and have more time to train for myself. My Dream is to make it to the 2012 Olympics or hit a 300Kg total
. I won't be able to get that if I am working too many hrs a week.I'm going to make the most of my 21-33 and have as much fun and train properly. I am currently saving a lot of money for me, £1k ~ $1.8k a month. I have no debt due to not crazy spending!
For me Training > Monetary gains :thumbsup:
Good thread and nice insights.

im 24 yrs old but in law school now, so im making nothing (actually awesomely in debt).
when i did graduate from ugrad i was making 55k at 22yrs old in manhattan.

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.
20, in and out of different jobs. High $8 right now(part-time work full time schoo....wish it was other way around). Really good part-time school job so I am able to earn some living expenses during the school year. Summer internships can land me anywhere inbetween $11-$27 though. So 3-4 months of the year I do really good. Make enough to get through my next year of college though with just barely any spending money to go out and eat every once in awhile. Shoot, I haven't been able to upgrade any PC parts really in about a year now. Tuition going up again!!!
I thought the average ATOTer would make 150+k/year, at least a 8" penis, and a A64x2 Athlon with a Geforce SLI computer on a dual 24" flat panel.
