What the fuck is with everyone having less than $500 per week. I easily can get over $1000 per week. Soon $3500 per biweekly.
well you aren't exactly in a common situation jobwise
True point, but what I have learnt over my time here, is that people are not aware of the jobs around them that can pay them more. Example, welding Inspectors can easily make $100 per hour. but no one actually knows about that career choice. All you need to do is go to a welding inspector certification course, do not even need a welding certification. And voila you are now a welding inspector.
Equipment Operators for Dozers, Graders, Excavators etc. make quite good cash. $35 per hour in our company and that is shit pay. Companies are willing to spend $50 per hour for these very same people. Crane operators can make over $80 per hour, and from what I heard yesterday, if you are in the pile driving business, well you have one of the best jobs out there as your bonuses and pay are really good.
As far as I have learnt, if your company focuses on selling to consumers you will not make that much cash, if your company focuses on selling to other companies then money will come. Our Site Coordinator who has a lower wage than me works a couple months in and then poof vanishes for multiple months on vacation. And on top of that she has two houses bought and has not even gone to college yet. Heck she is 25.
So yeah there are not many people out there in my position, but I think most people are unaware of the career choices available to them from the get go of highschool or even if they drop out of highschool.
My friend's company will willingly fly people from the other side of Canada to Calgary and pay for their rent, just to have them work for their company.
How fat is your paycheque?
