Direct care professional, a.k.a. tard whisperer/wrangler. On shift right now and it feel so good! $12.75/hr and, until recently, overloads of overtime to keep my habit alive.

Tell us your stories if you have any

I work pet specialty retail and I make about the same.

Not a lot but I can maintain a pretty steady stream of warhammer, as well as support a wife and a wide variety of animals.

I'm a carpenter/fabricator
I build stuff from wood and metal then make it look pretty.
I get around 11 bucks an hour

How long have you been in your trade? I'm went to trade school for 2 years in high school and I got my job the last month of school

>Welder, wrangler, carpenter

Ever thought about moving? On a serious note your jobs get you here in Gerrmany 20 € a hour.

I wash dishes.
Not a terribly important job, but I get paid $10.50 cause I've been there a while.
Dirty, but at least people don't talk to me much, which I enjoy.

>How long have you been in your trade?
10 years
Since I was 16
Friend of family set me up with the job and its become more serious over time

>Gerrmany
No offense, but I like beer, pork, and assertive women with revealing outfits and a lack of stifling religion.
Germany is not the place for me.

Yeah the state I live in pays below average for welding jobs. In any other state I would be getting paid $18 an hour also I'm going to college for welding and this is also just a starter job.

18, just graduated highschool. Start my first job tomorrow. I'll be a deli worker, get paid $13.70/hr.

I'm a paid shill.

Wow I thought about getting into wood working but I enjoy welding more

Not bad for a first job my first job is this welding job ai started out at $14 an hour while I was in highschool

Front end designer/developer, $35ish an hour. I still think 40k is unafordable.

>No offense, but I like beer, pork, and assertive women with revealing outfits and a lack of stifling religion.
Germany is not the place for me.

None of that sounds like Germany, where are you?

Give it a year or two.

I sit at my desk and occasionally cue up videos for people to complain about.

I get $25/hr

??
I assume you're in America which makes you enjoying not being stifled by religion kind of a joke since you're owned by evangelicals.

You're not wrong

I work as a janitor while I go to college to get my associates.

I plan on going to the Air Force ROTC, getting a bachelors degree while doing the three year training to become a Second Lieutenant.

And the places they live also likely have a much lower cost of living than Europistan.

High school history teacher.

Florida, USA.
Sorry about Germany

>America
Correct

>Thinking the evangelicals or other middle eastern religions bother me
Not at all, let them preach and bend over. I have my tools, my work, my house, my grill, my beer and my women.

I'll answer the door naked when mormons come knocking and look them right in the eye with my morning cup of coffee.

They might be a little higher assuming he lives in bumfuck nowhere wyoming, but he'd also make ~3 times more. America is on of the shittier places to be a low wage worker among industrialized economies and it just keeps getting worse.

>I'll answer the door naked when mormons come knocking and look them right in the eye with my morning cup of coffee.

I'm pretty sure all of that is available in Europe. The US is way more sexually repressed than Europe. That's been a thing for like 200 years.

>On a serious note your jobs get you here in Gerrmany 20 € a hour.
>Germany
No thank you I am not a muslim

>I would rather be a poor underclass as long as I get to pretend other countries are worse

Dispatcher for local Sheriff's department. Salaried job, that I think comes out to $16-18 an hour. Should be better when the Sheriff leaves and the new guy doesn't have a long-standing feud with the County Comission that controls our salary.

Not really, between taxes and cost of goods and services, you really end up shafted. A classmate from college followed the meme to Europe a few years ago and just recently moved back because he's much better off here.

>The US is way more sexually repressed than Europe. That's been a thing for like 200 years.
Sexuality in the good ol' US is fucked and has been since the early 50s as far as I can tell.
It veers wildly from one childish extreme to the other, with the hippies dragging their unkempt genital manes through the STD swamp of fucking literally anything that moves, to the religious pearl clutchers claiming that all sex is sinful.

But Europe is having its own issues what with the migrant crisis. I've lived in shitty neighborhoods before. I've had attempted home invasions when I was in college living with two other guys, we got our guns and chased them off. I'd rather not have to re-live that with twenty or so muslim "refugees" and no gun.

>Not really, between taxes and cost of goods and services, you really end up shafted. A classmate from college followed the meme to Europe a few years ago and just recently moved back because he's much better off here.

What part? I can guarantee you whatever he was doing there he was better off than the dude above getting 11 dollars an hour for welding. That's foodstamp and housing assistance wages.

>Too much money
>Not enough space for all my games

>sexually repressed
To answer this on my personal level
I never had a problem with this after I got out of high school. Women tend to shift their ethics and morals depending on how attracted they are to a given man.

If you are a man, then you will find a way to make the world around you will change to suit your needs.

On topic though, I'm due for a pay raise, but I don't play W40K, I usually play tabletop with my friends, we've been working on a homebrew.

I used to be a teacher, now I'm a translator for a few small Jap consulting businesses. Shit pay, but it does come with a ton of downtime.

>I'll answer the door naked when mormons come knocking and look them right in the eye with my morning cup of coffee.

I think that could be arrest-able as Public Indecency.

>But Europe is having its own issues what with the migrant crisis. I've lived in shitty neighborhoods before.

Those refugees in totality represent like an extra one out of every six hundred people in Europe. No European country has higher violent crime rates than the United states, now or before the migrant crisis began.

You live in a fantasy, the entire world regards the US as a grinding blood bath. You have the same murder rate as fucking mexico.

Industrial Plant
36 an hour, make more on night shifts and even more on weekends.

I play and buy dnd stuff and expensive mtg with my meager earnings

Cook at the fanciest sit-down joint/bar in my township. $10.00/hr with the added perks of free food and it being small enough (and me being skilled enough) to allow a lot of leeway for nonsense. Shit ain't sustainable though but hopefully once I finish-up college something better, involving less potential for burns, can be attained.

I weld your burns are nothing compared to mine

I work for the IRS actually, since I work night shift I get extra pay which works out to like $18 an hour. It's decent work and during filing season there's plenty of opportunity for overtime.

>36 an hour
not bad
Where do you live?

Cube jockey at a headhunting firm. 15$/hour. RPGs are fairly cheap, even if you don't pirate them you only need to buy a handful of books (at most) and you're set.

I work food service make shit but through good budgeting I can maintain, I don't build armies fast but it works.

...

Granted but I'm sure you can agree that all burns suck. There is only so much relief silver sulfadiazine can provide and in your case sometimes it can't provide any.

>You live in a fantasy, the entire world regards the US as a grinding blood bath.
That user is exaggerating but let not go to the other extreme, please.

>I'M TUFF ON THE INTERNET ABOUT MUSLIMS AND BITCHES
>AM I COOL YET

>That user whats exaggerating but let not go to the other extreme, please.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

Whose going to an extreme? America is by far the most violent advanced industrialized nation on earth.

I have just gotten use to them except the ones that fall into my ears my ear wax manges to stop the slag from burning the inside. They still hurt though

Medical data entry.
Entire department sits in their cubicles all day and say nothing to each other. Boss communicates entirely through email for daily affairs. I get to finish an audiobook almost every week because everyone is basically expected to have ear buds in to kill the silence.
Make 20 an hour, been doing it 5 years now. I don't think I'd take a more social job even if you paid me double. I barely know my coworkers names and I love it.

Great White North.
Its literally the best job in my area and took 2 years to get

>Propman

I'm a pizza guy, I probably average out at $15 an hour.

Remember back when welding was a union job and you made enough to afford at least a one bedroom apartment for all that slag you get in your ears?

Good old America. Broke the back of the workin' man.

*ahem*

youtube.com/watch?v=4PuXoOvDYPE

that map is highly flawed at best. regardless of where you stand on this issue, it isn't a reliable source of evidence.

Chef. 22 an hour, 60 hour weeks, only get paid for 44 of them. Don't have enough time to game so it doesn't really matter.

>mfw I get 12 an hour for dishwashing
Only downside is state income tax.

>Whose going to an extreme? America is by far the most violent advanced industrialized nation on earth.
>Canada 89
>US 92

>getting triggered over shitposting
>*ahem*
C'mon, you're almost as bad as Sven.

I work IT support for one of the most prominent American tech companies. I make $35/hr

>nuke
Sub or carrier?

I live in South Carolina Union s are illegal it sucks but a unholy amount of corporatations are based here BMW GE Michelin so jobs are here they just don't pay well

You know how I know you're an idiot?

You just went by America and Canadas total murders. Except, y'know, they're almost the same but America has literally 10 times Canadas population.

Ergo, if their total murder counts are about the same then america has TEN TIMES CANADAS MURDER RATE.

eh, he's still wrong.

>more population and same total equals more rate
Are you retarded?

What?

user don't look at that number look at the numbers next to it. It says America has 3.5 times Canadas murder rate.

The number on the left of that graph doesn't mean anything, the countries are listed by geographic region. Click the 'rate' at the top to see the actual order.

Going by murder rate per 100,000 people, Canada is at 158 while the US is at 94

If we're going by count, US is at 8 while Canada is at 67

This hurts please stop

Mfw I'm a Lead Chef, and I get paid only 10 an hour without benefits.

Oh ok it seems I was wrong then, that is a more reasonable explanation than though I still don't believe the world sees the US as a grinding blood bath
T. Third worlder

Mfw all these poorfags

Right now, I'm actually a professional Medical Test Subject. I can get paid anywhere from 1000 dollars a month to 6000 a month if i get a good study. Not very secure, but I'm health and it covers my expenses

You should talk to someone outside of the US. Australia and Japan literally have official advisories warning against traveling in the US because its rate of homicide is so high and its police force is violent and seemingly badly trained.

Classified.

The Simpsons said it best
>youtube.com/watch?v=bcEfOcEsbDc

What I get from this thread so far /pol/ and most fa/tg/it's are poor and american

>the migrant crisis
It's not as big of a deal as your media claims.

That is not typically classified. Sailors are allowed to state what class of vessel they are aboard and most of the time the exact name of it.

...

If you look, although no other US territories are included beside Guam, they decided to include Puerto Rico which has an average of 26.22, which is a strong outlier on the average of 4.88

On a side note Washington, DC had a extroardinarily high homicide rate in 2000 of 41.8 for which I have no clue why

>don't believe the world sees the US as a grinding blood bath
I recall people believing that the US had become some kind of Mad Max-esque wasteland during the 2016 election, due to the media pretty much saying Trump winning was the end of the world

Working in food service in America is fucking trash. The waiters make all of your money and you do all the work.

America isn't doing too well right now. wages have remained largely static for decades. that combined with deregulation and the loss of reliable lower middle class jobs it can be difficult to build up wealth.

The name is the USS Redacted. Stationed off the coast of New Classified.

DC is a fucked up town and has been for a while, but you can have WILD swings in city and town homicide rates because at that point the numbers are low and spikey. A town of 1000 people with a single murder blows DC out of the water.

Yes, then we pulled out of our own climate accord and trade deal with brokered, Trump started trying to dissolve NATO while buddying up with the civilizations boogeyman, and the US has continued to have the highest rates of violence in the west.

It's not exactly like things are going great over here, we look like idiots.

So your on a nukular censored?

I do not live in the US, where I live criminals had the tendency to steal buses block the streets and rob all the people that were stuck in the traffic, where people get robbed/kidnapped/killed for looking foreign and a pizza comes faster to your house than the police/paramedics. I don't hear that shit happening in the US and I'm not saying it doesn't have its problems, just that most of the third world sees the US as a good place to live.

Veeky Forums isn't a place successful individuals frequent anymore. It's a fucked up porn website for weebs and neo nazis. It's not really surprising.

Ahh, Mr President. Good to see you. The children are ready for you to read them a stroy.

thats constant across the entire western world friend. Its why extremist candidates are even getting the time of day.

>I do not live in the US, where I live criminals had the tendency to steal buses block the streets and rob all the people that were stuck in the traffic, where people get robbed/kidnapped/killed for looking foreign and a pizza comes faster to your house than the police/paramedics.

That could describe a few locales in the US but not most. Are you in Burundi or something?

And they all blame a multi decade separation of efficiency and compensation on brown people because it's easier than just saying "the rich people are fucking us over".

Then a billionaire comes along and says he'll deal with all the scary brown people by deregulating everything and they believe him.

It is almost like businesses just go where they will have the least amount of obligation to their workers. Not saying the workers need to rise-up and seize the means of production but a balance should be struck if not for humanistic reasons than for economic ones as a big middle class = a big group of schlubs who can buy your corporation's crap = MORE MONEY.

I work in retail. I make about $20 an hour, not counting supplementary payment.

Classified 'probably' means he's a squid, or a tryhard.

IL since the budget passed?

I'm a teacher full time, which pays my mortgage and keeps me happy with the things i buy. I don't wargame though, but my group plays a lot of board games, we pick up a new one every couple weeks

yup, I think the scariest thing about our generations is that we were raised in a post cold war era and as a result we assumed, like many in "the west" that large scale societal change wasn't really going to happen in our lives and it dulled us into thinking that things were more or less stay the same throughout our lifetimes. I think it's clear now that that is not the case. In 20 years our world will be radically different and no one is prepared.

I think this sense of "everything is gonna be the same no matter what we do" is the real fuel behind a lot of Veeky Forums /pol/ trolling. It ok to call for nazism because of the unspoken belief that " it could never really happen so why not have some fun at the expense of the normies?"

>That could describe a few locales in the US but not most.

Pardon, but we haven't had train heist style mass holdups in ages, that shit happens in the SOUTH America thankyouverymuch. Our criminal traffic jams just toss bricks, shout slogans, and wave signs.
