Where do you work and how much do you get paid?

[quote name='slidecage']work delivery papers.. I make 1,074 bucks every 2 weeks.. working 4 hours per day.

Cousin also does the paper and they have 2 2 year college degrees and make more cash doing paper then any job they can get... They make close to 4800 a month working less then 8 hours per day

Myself

Earnings 1074
Gas 2 weeks around 200 bucks (maybe 150)
brakes on car say 40 per month

so that is clear little under 900 bucks (pay little to no tax since the millage takes my income to 0)

12 days working in 2 weeks / 900 = 75 bucks per day or 18.,75 per hour doing a ass easy job

if you can get your hands on a major paper route , that is almost the best way to go .

same days i hate the job but where else can you have a job where you almost have no boss watching over your shoulder.

also its cheaper then going to college as well, since i can say i have 12 years of book keeping since i been doing my own books on the job for the last 12 years[/QUOTE]
ITT a secure job.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']What kind of classes do you teach?[/QUOTE]

I teach Senior English. Most of my students are 17 or 18 years old, which makes them much easier to deal with than pesky freshmen.
 
Independent equities/futures trader - I manage my own funds as well as accounts for about 35 other people, of which I take a % of the profits I earn. Naturally, there is no guarantee of pay but I'm pretty consistant. I normally cut losers pretty quickly to minimze losses and often have sizeable intraday winners. Very few days do by that I don't have a few 3-5% winners.

My worst day was a loss of about $8k and my best day was $65k.....BIDU ipo.

I just have an associates degree. Trading was a hobby that became a business for me. I have fun with it and pretty much make my own hours. I have no quota or guaranteed performance benchmark so I trade when I find opportunities and if I don't see anything attractive I take the day off and sepdn it with friends on the golf course or playing with the dogs. I also enjoy knowing that I'm helping family and friends achieve their financial goals like sending their kids to college or being able to retire a little earlier.

I started out because of the money, or more accurately the potential for making big money, but I actually really enjoy trading the markets.
 
Owner of a small real estate acquisition/development company - despite the crappy economy, I managed to survive the storm by shoring up the acquisition portion (having seen the upcoming shitstorm) and focused on the development side. Now, because of the crappy economy, I've done a few more acquisitions as the market has made properties a buyer's paradise.

I pay myself but my salary is paltry as the real money is in the profits I earn from the rent from the real estate themselves. But it definitely has pushed me into the 6-figure region (not counting the value of the properties themselves).

I make my own hours and have my staff deal with office minutiae. But make no mistake, I worked hard to get where I am so anyone thinking to do the same (like possibly the OP) shouldn't mistake it for a cakewalk to easy money.

Pretty much the same as me. I've got a bachelor's but I started doing real estate as a hobby while I was a college sophomore studying comp. engineering. Now it's become my business and my degree is essentially useless* as it has nothing to do w/ my profession.

Like everyone's reiterated already to the OP, find something interesting to you and then get paid for it and you'll never work a day in your life.

*except as a safety net in case the real estate thing goes to shit which I doubt

It all makes perfect sense now, does it not?
