    Simple math

    If you take a job paying 55K you are making $26 an hour. Plumbers and electricians make more than that.

    The 90th percentile of plumbers makes 55k. The average plumber doesn't make more than 55k. You're making stuff up now.

    Tricky of you to use entry level plumber numbers. That's like you being a freshman in college.

    Listen to Mouse. He is speaking with the voice of experience.
    Thanks for getting back to me on the fish cleaning job.


    I was talking to the apartment manager one day and saw a man with a laptop connected to the phone box with all these different color wires. Since i had 8 minutes to kill as the apartment manger had to type out the eviction notice I asked the guy how long you go to school to do what your doing?

    He said it's a two year course at ST Phillips collage. And At&T will send you there.

    he said it sucked for is girlfriend she had to pay the majority of the bills but after two years he started off at 27.00 dollars an hour and this was back in 2004.


    You drive in a cool looking vehicle dress nice and play on your laptop for 27.00 an hour with medical and great retirement plan. You rather spend "4 years" at UTSA,SAC,or Texas A&M and work at UPS for 11 dollars an hour?

    personally I think the Walmart employees should be paid more and maybe they will be nicer and more helpful. Sometimes you wait for 20 minutes to finally get someone in the hardware department to open the paint can cage to purchase a 99 cent can of flat black paint.

    Yes I shop at walmart. The ones who say they don't never had to buy a usb wireless adapter or a plunger at 2 AM in the morning.

    Those of you who are riding on your shinny red whit and blue high horse I dare you to go though your house and not find anything made in china.

    I bet most of you drive a Toyota, watch a Sam Sung flat screen or listen to a Sony radio in your vehicle.

    Unless your some redneck in the deep woods of North Carolina in a 1979 USA built single wide trailer driving a 1996 GMC Blazer with a Motorola CB radio listening to a cassette of Lynard Skinard then I don't buy it your "All American" or nothing.

    No, that's like me being in an entry level position. Either way...

    http://www1.salary.com/Plumber-III-salary.html

    so the average salary for a "senior plumber" is a little over 51,000. So right out of school I'll make more than the average senior plumber. Sounds good to me.

    Skipping the accounting bull and going to work for an investment bank (assuming my last interview went well enough). It'll be 2-3 years before I'm proven enough to move to the I-banking side of things which is why I'm only starting at 50-60kish since it's in another department but if I get a job with this bank then I should be doing very well very fast.

    Meh...you might hit the i-bank lottery but the chances are higher that you will end up in a cubicle sweatshop hating your life. Good luck, though.

    Downside is if you end up hating your life you have no good escape mechanism.

    A good plumber that hates his boss can start his own gig with a truck and a box of business cards and if he is good can be financially set by 40.

    not dissing your career path, just saying don't pull the snob routine on people that didn't choose the college path.

    He's a in middle aged security guard who makes $12 an hour
    You have proof of that?

    and lives in a love shack.
    fixed.

    No one in their right mind would listen to him,
    Who here 24/7 on ST is in their right mind?


    or any other dumb who thinks electricians do better than people with 4 year degrees.
    Who said anyone was "better' than anyone else?

    This is about finding a job faster with more money. You want to make a wager? Let's do this , you and I will apply at the unemployment office, I tell them I am an out of work AC Installer and you tell them your fresh out of college as a Physiology major.

    Who gets a Job first?

    The 3 companies I'm in final round interviews with are companies that wouldn't even talk to mouse.
    I'm sure they are respectable companies that would just love hire someone after they happen to read how that future employee spends valuable time at website calling many people heads and s all day long, that must really help pad that worthless resume as you really end up at Walmart or at a target even after all your online horn tooting.

    Why the do Republicans revise history and say stuff like, "This is what America is becoming! I want the old America back!" as if people wanting more than they're worth is a new phenomenon. The only difference is that they used to actually get more than what they were worth which shut them up and made them happy so you'd never hear about it. The people in that video are the same people who worked no skill assembly line jobs in the 50s, 60s, and 70s that not only paid way better but also had ridiculous pension benefits.

    You got what you wanted. No skill labor nowadays = ty pay and ty lifestyle when it didn't used to. Don't cry about the fact that they're now crying over it.
    Brother, I don't think republicans revise history and say stuff like that, atleast not most.


    That video was silly. God bless

    They need to unionize. They have no leverage and Wal-Mart's size helps it set the industry benchmark for pay. So if they wanted to leave, they'd likely not do much better at a comparable job with another company. This is truly the proletariate class, and if they had any clue how to organize and use their numbers as leverage, then they'd be doing much better right now.

    What is Hugh Hefner's son to do then?

    If my herion injecting father left me 40,000 dollars?

    I would try and flip that 40,00 to 80,000 or at least have a money making business.

    so now you're seriously trying to argue that plumbing is a better career path than i-banking

    now you're trolling

    "truck and business cards"

    Good luck building your empire with $40K/year...

    I mean, if he wants to do that he can always open his accounting shop and make just as much as a plumber.
