I feel screwed at my work as it is now. I've been due for a raise for the past month but they're so damned lazy with the paperwork it's not even funny. Sad part is I'd only go up to about $10.88.

Your group of friends changes over the years. I only talk to a few people I went to high school with, I'm more in touch with college friends. I make 50+% more than some of my college friends, but since they live in the midwest and I live in NJ it kind of evens out. My one friend makes substantially less than me, but just had a house built in Indiana for $120k. I couldn't touch a 100 year old house on a tiny lot for double that.

In essence that's what happened to me as well. I still keep in touch with my college friends and they're all pretty successful. By the same token, I have a whole new peer group whom are alll myco-workers. These are all around my lvl of financial success for obvious reasons.
 
different regions/parts of the us bear a different salary...i.e. small towns won't pay what larger markets will where there are more jobs and more talents walking around looking
 
26/$12.86/hr in something that has nothing to do with computers. I could do better if the Tool-Die field was back at its pre-bust days.
 
>I am in real estate, which typically, the best hours in the profession

I believe I had you beat with Trust & Estate 🙂
 
30 work three jobs, first (one that pays health insurance) computer lab tech for an elementary school $13/hr, second pc build/repair, networking. $35/hr usually about 10 to 12 hours a week. lastly, i'm a real estate agent/ loan officer in san diego, and i probably make about $2000/hr (refinanced three homes this year and made about 14.5 k and spent maybe only 7-10 hours at the most total on them)

if i worked harder in real estate i would probably make more money, but i wouldn't see my daughter as much. it's such a hard thing to choose between.
 
29 yrs. old, ~$24/hr. This is kinda just a 'holdover' job until I payoff some stuff and move to CA. Once out there, I'm hoping to make around $30/hr.

EDIT: Maybe add 100% more poll?

uh...where do you live now?
you realize, you may make 25% more, but the expense might be 50% more.

i feel sorry for the poor bastard that doesnt make at least 100k

22, 123k i work 30 hours a week, and half of that is telecommuting from home. im underpaid but i like my job so i settle for the bad pay.

you have to be lazy or a HS dropout to not make at least 75k by 20, or if you end up going to college you dont earn until 22, but start at around 100k

my work is a couple miles from my house and i live to bike to work, but have been taking a break and letting my hootus heal, keeps getting caught in the spokes.

my GF does modeling but only because she enjoys it, i wouldnt feel like a man if my SO had to work.

Shen.

Just kidding, good for you. (still, shen because I am jealous)
 
H1B in the San Jose area:

22yr old make 53k/yr (dot com just busted)
25yr old make 35k/yr (dot com busted, got r@ped by a company 3 days before I got sent out of the country)
27yr old make 63k/yr (got fed up and switch to a reasonable company, still low, but reasonable at least)

Next year I will ask for 70k/yr when I get my greencard

I'm in MA. Pretty close in housing cost/tax/etc. from what I've checked out. I just can't take the winters here anymore thanks to an injury a couple years ago.
