Just think,then you can offer ATOT members home care:)

Shoot, if I were gonna do that, I would just offer them sponge baths now, and make a killing!

:p

This poll sucks. What about people who work hard for less than $20/hour or people with no job?

I am sure the sight of just one of those clients would turn you off to future ones.

If you turn that way, invest in some high quality protective eye wear.

Went form making $1500 a week to $2000 not including weekends I worked at least 2 weekends a month at around $600 to a $1000 for the last 5 years being a contractor in the Bay Area CA, down to around $500 a week doing tech support at Dell in Austin TX and love it.:D

Oh BTW back in CA when I would do jobs by the hour I would charge $65 plus materials for each man I had on the job.
 

I get paid either $8.50/hour or $10/hour but my job is just driving around in a Public Safety vehicle doing jump starts, etc.

I dont get paid hourly...but if I break down what I average a week, versus the hours I work, its right around $20....unless you subtract my 3 hour lunch breaks from the hours total...then the hourly goes way up :)

dude, you may have a big dick, but that doesn't mean you have to go around telling everyone about it

I didn't say my boss has a big dick, but that he IS a big dick. :p

i guess thats why they market the full body condom :p

why is $20 a magic number?

i worked extremely hard to finish my degrees (BA, BS, MS) & have occasional stress-filled periods at work.

i don't get paid by the hour, but if i did, then it would be well over $20/hour.
