What's a decent paying job for an Veeky Forumstard?
I make 9.50 an hour, so after a month I usually make around 4 or 5 hundred working part time. My job only lets me work 30 hours per week, and I'll be lucky to get that most of the time.
Please help Veeky Forums. I want to support my hobby better!

Deliver pizzas at a more upscale pizza place, like a local place with average orders closer to $50
Xavier Powell
Are you not a student? Why are you working a wageslave-tier probably retail job?
Jose Flores
I just got out of a job that paid that with those hours, so I don't know how the fuck you survive on that unless you live at home, let alone have any money for wrenching
Leo Bennett
I'm a student, but I need a job to pay for my gas and insurance.
I was considering doing this. My only concern is my car smelling like pizza permanently. Not even Odoban could get the odors of delivering pizza 24/7 out.

i make 38.50/hr in construction
Mason Thompson
Do you have any marketable skills?
William Kelly
Op if you are an extrovert, just go work into a bar/restaurant. I make over 20$/hr cad only being busboy. Waiter here make around 36$hr
Hunter Gray
Talk to a temp agency. You'd be amazed at the jobs available withough a college degree. Get a security clearance and you'll make bank! They're easier to get than you think.
William Morales
Construction and waiting tables can easily slam you more than 30$/hr if you are attractive, outgoing, or willing to ruin your body
pennyhoarder has a lot of supplemental from home income to help you if you really just are strapped for no reason
I just waited til I had a good paying job to do anything past stock on my cars
Adam Torres
If you're a student don't worry about it. I make 10 an hour and work minimal hours during the school year to keep gas and food covered. Then during the summer you work a shitton and make money to spend
Aiden Fisher
Temp agencies can be great. I went from being a DJ and doing landscaping to working an office job. Been there two years and make a little over 40k

>What's a decent paying job for an Veeky Forumstard? Your jobs went overseas.
It's not like how it was before President Clinton signed the usa partnership trade laws and made China get the Most Favored Nation trade status. It streamlined China's ability to ignore a lot of patent and copyright laws since Most Favored Trade nation status sets a max goods inspections in each trade evaluation period. It quickly becomes a numbers game. To very much oversimplify, if you were China's gov't, you deliberately send anumber of defective goods from Hopper_Fright_Zudong (which you own) located in Guangdong, to Bay_Freight_Import (which you own) in Los Angeles. The inspection quota limit is 100 cargo containers for "Trade Category Hand Tools" per quarter. The private customs house is owned by chinese tycoon Ten Cent which satisified usa law for separation of inspector and inspectee. The usa prosector in charge of judgements is friendly (you made sure clintons appointed him) or is replaced by someone friendly (each one discredited until a new friendly appointee occurs). The chinese cargo ship is reballasted to optimize for the nearly empty sacrificial containers. The containers are FORCED into the inspection queue to guarantee an inspection to make sure the quota is used up for that category.
For those who don't know, USA customs inspectors are aided by customs houses as part of the privatization and deregulation of usa trade practices. Thus, instead of the USA government having a ton of true government employees inspect the goods, private companies hire inspectors of their own to inspect the goods. Bill Clinton was in favor of that and so his Hillary Clinton. Trump is notoriously against reregulation of China with Most Favored Nation trade status but is politically unable to remove them (even if president) since too many congress are "bribed" to succeed. So only new laws can be passed as part of the Make America Great again trade laws correction package.

>Temp agencies can be great. I found my job through a temp agency (not Veeky Forums-related though). A lot of small companies hire through them instead of having an internal HR department.
Nathan Cooper
OP just keep looking. You're time is not worth the money you make now, service industry is a total scam. Most people are not making $20+ per hour for 40 hours a week. They make $20 on fridays nights and make 8 the rest of the 20 hours they get scheduled. Temp agency can get you into a job quickly. But they will steal your money. Get a better job through one now if you want. But keep searching for better options. If you have a job you can sell yourself up into a better job with just some leg work on your end. Rinse and repeat for a few years and you could be making really good money without real education. Stay in school though if you're already in

Even big companies use them. It's an easy way to test someone out, they're a lot easier to fire. No red tape.

$20AUS/hr is below the US poverty line.

Lincoln Wood
>9.50 an hour Jesus... Willingly working for that low amount makes you part of the problem. Stop being a sucker and either demand a raise or get a better job. Other anons mentioned waiter, that's likely your best bet. Fine dining restaurants can average upwards of $50/hr. Bartenders make bank too.

Learn to weld. Get paid quite a bit for knowing not much. Get better. Make more. Die early from skin / lung cancer.

Parker Butler
>he thinks that's how it works
Henry Wright
Despite the hood, gloves, sleeves and apron, arc rays still go through my shirt and I go home with something like a sun burn on my upper chest. Of course that is my fault and when it gets colder outside I'll suck it up and toss a welding jacket on. Also the way I weld the rays hit my neck which I should really do something about also. Probably a bandana or something. On top of that I could be wearing a dust mask as well. There's only so much PPE will do for you though. It's a hazardous job.

Get a dealership job. I average 480$ a week at Subaru
Landon Johnson
Construction. Learn a trade. Electrician, plumber. Carpenter, hvac, etc etc
Evan Thomas
>17 years old >$32/month for insurance how?

I think he means $32/day x 3, so $96/day total.

Look for a better job. I'm in San Diego and quit Home Depot at 9.00 (cashier, 22-26 hrs weekly) and got hired at a pawn shop for 10/hr with 12/hr after 90 days. Got promoted to a Supervisor position and now make 16/hr working 40 hours a week.
Keep in mind, I'm a 22 y.o. living at home and I have 16 units this semester. I pay my own internet bill and my share of water/gas/electric. My mother pays for my insurance bc its only 70 a month (1985 CJ-7).
TL;DR Get a better job, while saving up a ~$500 fund in case it takes a while between getting hired and getting your first paycheck.
It's tough to find something as a student having 0 experience in anything other than retail and food but you might hit a gem on Craigslist like I did. Look for "assistant" type jobs on CL in your area, they tend to pay a bit above minimum wage. Try using keywords like "student" and see what comes up.
You might not get to use your car that much but it'll bring in more money than you're already making.
Nathaniel James
I'm 20 and i've been working at the same gas station since I was 18. I make $10.50/hr now which is ok considering my states minimum wage is $7.50.
3 years feels like a huge chunk of your life at 20 though. I'm considering taking my older cousins offer getting a job at the Nissan plant working on the assembly line. He is some kind of manager there, not sure exactly what he does. I think they make Nissan Leafs there or something.
somehow that job sound just as depressing but I've been told Nissan is a decent company to it's employees and since it's union the pay would be significantly more than what I make.
also I'm just completely wasting my time in community college. I have no idea what I'm doing.
thanks for reading my blog.

I finally landed a job after being unemployeed for the last year.
Making 9.50 an hour but its 40 a week. I might pick up a late night delivery place on the side but not sure yet. The extra money would be great as right now after all of my bills and rent I'll have between 250-400 left a month.
Lucas Sanchez
How much is your rent?
Adam Green
1575 a month, but I have 2 other roommates. So I pay 525 a month. All bills are split three ways. The bonus is I'm the only car guy in the house so the Garage is free for me to use at any time.
Jaxon Long
41.56/hour
10 hr shifts sometimes 12+.
I dont spend much more than i did when worked at a grocery store for 10.25. I want to, but i can't really justify it when i want to buy a house soon.
Christopher Clark
That's a nice setup it sounds like.
How do you find roommates? Did you just ask around your friends or strangers on Craigslist?
Anthony Mitchell
What do you to to make that much? Are you happy?
Ryan Thomas
live with BF, pay no rent and no food.
Make 4,340 a month from rental properties, plus a bit of extra cash on the side from other endeavors.
Have 2 cars.

Christopher Reyes
I make 36/hr as a nurse
Jordan Morgan
i make $35/hr part time, live in a cheap state, and can't afford a car hobby.
i could easily dump all of my savings and earnings into a car hobby to build/buy a race car and go to events, but that's not really affording it now is it?
Thomas Lee
I used a few searching sites but one was linked directly to my university at the time.
You want decent roommates? Hunt for college kids. They have the money to pay and not fuck you on bills.
I've lived here over year, now and just resigned my contract. It was 1500 last year. 2 of us resigned, had 2 others last year, one left after 6 months and found a replacement, and the replacement stayed until the first year contract ended.
I moved out of one of the smaller rooms and into the master bedroom as well. So I now have a room twice as big as my old, full access to the garage and don't have a lot of bills to top it off. It's a damn good setup. I'm not sure if I'll stick around for another year after this one though.
I'll say it takes time, it took about 4 months of talking with different people and then after finding them about a month of house hunting before we settled on something.
