Where do you work and how much money do you make? I'm just wondering because I'm trying to get a new job and all...and I guess I'm just curious about what the wages are like in different states or different countries

I'm trying to get a job, too.
I haven't worked in awhile so it seems like people are hesitant to hire me. Which sucks. Because I want a job that doesn't involve the grocery store.

Hehe. I work at the Piccadilly Theatre. I'm a followspot operator. Let's see, I get basic pay of about 220pounds a week (which is about $394.-) before tax which is small anyways. Then I get an extra 100pounds (about $178.-) for preset and overtime before tax and if I do a full week's work without taking a day off I get a show bonus of 50pounds ($89.-). So all in all I earn around $661.- a week before tax. Take tax off and I'm earning something like, $585.- a week. And that's not including if I work on a public holiday (for which I get triple pay) or if I have rehearsals (for which I get extra overtime).

Jeez. When I look at it like that I do pretty darn well for pointing a light at people for 3 hours a night.

HOLY CRAP NAT, you should be rich by now!! LOL...shiettttttt we make shiet pay here in Hawaii, I swear...lol..well minimum wage anyway.

Aww Robyn, I'm sure you'll get a job soon =)

When I worked at the waterpark I only got $6.25/hr -- $265/2 weeks
When I worked at the library I only got $5.75/hr -- $230/2 weeks
Now working online transcribing I get about $10.25/hr -- depends on how much work I take...I could get up to $1,000/2 weeks, but I'm a lazy ass so I usually get around $200...

Ehhhh. I might get the job at Blockbuster...I dunno how much it pays though.

You've got a couple years of college under your belt, you should get payed a little more, eh?

You should work at Starbucks, Jess.
Good job! Free coffee! :]

Monica doesn't have a job.
She's had one.
It was the worst thing ever.
Grocery store 14/15 years of age. Oy.

I've applied sooooo many places, yet haven't had a job in 2.5 years.

I work at Papa John's... sweet. LOL.
I get paid 6.40 an hour, minimum wage. I love my job, though. We have so much fun. I answer phones, I'm learning to make pizza, & I get to cut things. =]

Tyler, on the other hand, gets paid 7.50 an hour to sit people... GRR! He sits there and texts people while he's at work and gets paid for it while I work my ass off 20 hours a week and get paid 1.10 less. >.<
