Who works and what?

[Junixx]

What are your typical working hours? I want to know if I'm being a spoiled brat or if I really should be pissed about working 50 !@#$ HOURS!

White Castle has me working 50 hours this week and I don't give a damn how good the check will be, there went my life.

What do other people work?

(BTW my wage is

7.76 hour
8.50 hour/night
12.50 hour/holiday

Working 10 hours on 4th of July which pretty much eliminated family time.... And I'm 10 hours into overtime, god knows what kind of wage that is...)

[Tree]

I work whenever I need to to get things done. That ranges from 0 hours to 20 hours/day.

[Corazu]

9-5; 40 hours a week baseline. I usually end up putting in 45 or so however.

16$/hour - but it's for 40h/week. Overttime is voluntary.

[BrandonTheG]

I don't have a real job, but I do run a garage out of my home. I can make $20-60/hour depending on my client and what I am doing.

I also sell the parts usually, nice part of being an automotive technician.

[Matt8]

I work a full 40 a week for around what Corazu makes

I would not be putting up with a 50 hr work week for that low of pay.

[JonnyH]

Currently looking for a partime job while I move into higher education. If webdesign and programming is included.. couple of hours daily.

[fnixws]

Basically 40hrs per week.

But WTH dude, $7 an hour?
Thats less than what Maccas pays 15 year olds :o

[Nick]

I usually bounce 3 nights a week for about 12-17 hours total. This week I'm bouncing Wednesday through Saturday, so I should make a little more change. Especially since I'm pulling the long shifts (7 or 8 pm to around 2:30am) two nights.

I get paid $10/hr, but it's not really a job. In fact, it's just a good time meeting people 95% of the time. Then the 5% of the time you're kicking ---, well, that's fun too. I spend most of my time standing around shooting the breeze with all the people I know and texting away on my phone.

Much better than my previous job, cooking my --- off in a hot kitchen for $8/hour.

[krakjoe]

6 days a week, 16-20 hours a day, $25 - $50 an hour depending on the sort of programming I'm doing ...

I don't always have enough work to fill up the day, that's when I come to places like FWS and look for questions to answer ...

[Richard]

$7.76 - thats not even minimum wage in the UK ;) Thats about $4/hour off minimum wage

[TSO]

40 hours a week at the dayjob, + another 30 in my company. Makes for a nice, long week. :D

this ^

still living with parents so everything I earn is 100% disposable income.. it's nice not having any responsibilities. It's also nice being your own boss.

[Conscript]

Until recently, I worked at the Geek Squad fixing computers in store. I was making $13.39 per hour part-time. Anything over 40 hours per week or federal holidays was time and a half.

ROFL please tell me your joking.

That's a lot of cash, I think minimal wage is $6.65 in the US.

My job actually pays quite well for fast food, I'm just irritated that I'm working so much...

[DavidsAwesome]

Move to California. Minimum wage is $8.00

But gas is... $4.45 right now at the cheapest places. Diesel is... $4.99

It depends on the area. Here in GA it was 5.15 until this past June. Now it's 6.25. Next summer it's going up to 7.25.

I'm out of a job right now (and since I'm moving in three-ish weeks I'm going to find temp work with my friends/their parents .... lawn work, minor construction, etc.). But when I was working, it was a mall retail job. 15-20 hours normally, 20-25 hours in November, 25-30 hours in December, and 20-25 hours in January. $7.50/hr. I don't live on my own (yet) so I wasn't paying rent, etc.

[BrandonTheG]

Min. wage in MA is $8/hour, and it's going to be $8.50 or $8.75 next year :).

[Dynash]

I'm still applying for jobs in my area, but its insanely hard.
When I worked, I worked in Retail. It was 8 weeks of free work (I had to borrow money on nearly all occasions just to get there, then my food etc) then when I finally got the job there, I was only doing 29 hours a week for £5.45/h ($10.90/h). But my contract was supposed to be raised so I got more hours, but I dislocated my leg the first week of working there. (After the 8 weeks of free work). ¬_¬

[Tracker]

Right now I am doing 24/7 webhosting.

No place around here is hiring during the summer :S

Its all good tho I enjoy this more

I am probably in front of my computer 50+ hours a week working on stuff tho :S

No. Minumum wage is ~£5.50, which is about $11/hour


BUT.


Gas is about $8/gallon / Diesel is about $9-$10
Food is more expensive
Everything is more expensive

:P

Well, despite the high cost of living it still remains popular.

Really?

As soon as I can, i'm moving out of this sh*t hole. its actually going BACKWARDS technologically.

Not much because I am just starting out. Have less than 20 clients. But getting more each day.

I will let you know how much I really make when I start making anything :P

To me tho its not all about making money. This is just something I enjoy doing.

Hi!
Work?!!? I did that once..just for exercise..took up me whole day.
Wasn't worth it.

Blah. I think I'll ask Uncle Bill to put me on his list of charities. 100&#37; non-profit! <LOL>

[Gayowulf]

I work 10 hours a day 4 days a week. Sometimes I work more, but not usually. I make $19.67/hr. Hoping to move to a better job by the fall time, or collect EI for the winter and be a stinky hippy ski bum for awhile

[bryonhost1]

Oh come on..that was clearly a joke. Wake up. Drink some joe. Let the brain kick in. ;)

>>Maybe. One can never really tell, eh?
