What do you do to make money?

So i figured it would be interesting to see what people here do to make money. How well the economy is doing in your area of the country, and how easy it is to find a job.

so post:

-if you have a degree

-how much you make

-how easy it is to find a job

-how many hours you work per week

-what kind of job you have

 

i plead the fifth

 

-if you have a degree
i have a HS diploma, hubby has GED
-how much you make
last year our total income went up, 30K from 22K the year before
-how easy it is to find a job
high turn over rate locally
-how many hours you work per week
me-24/7. hubby works 35-50 hours a week between 2 jobs, depending on the week
-what kind of job you have
SAHM, hubby works in the casino industry, and an 'everything' job. sometimes he washes floors, sometime he serves drinks.


the way i 'make' money is by saving money. a penny saved is a penny earned and all that. i bake bread (that holds up a lot better than the 90% air crap they got at the store) i cook food from scratch when i can. i freeze extras. i buy in bulk. i use less meat, i can stretch a kielbasa for 1-2 weeks, a pound of ground beef can make 2-3 meals, if you are smart. stock up on pasta, rice, beans and canned/ pantry foods and even when your food budget is kaput (we recently shelled out for body damage on the car, $2K is quite a pinch in the pocket.) you still dont go hungry. i can make clothes if needed (although we dont need any more) i reduce reuse recycle. i use cloth toilet paper (for #1, though i am not scared to make that jump either. just like cloth diapering, which im planning on for next baby) i buy things in packaging that i CAN reuse. coffee in metal cans, jelly/jam in glass jars. i can make my own jellies and jams, last year i canned some of my mom's peaches.
you can preserve damn near anything in jars. if its on sale, buy it, preserve it, and save the $$$. i made a KILLER raspberry jam with sale raspberries, im still hoarding the last daub in the jar. so so delicious.

i will be going back to work soon, and all of that added income is going toward our future property. i need to be able to plant my own garden. luckily my mom lets me use her yard for that. its a matter of what your time is worth. when you look at something that cost $10, and thats how much you make an hour at work, is it really WORTH it? a loaf of bread costs a dollar, or 5. if you practice the skills you can make your own cinnamon raisin bread, your own anything. i made my own teryaki sauce. its all about perception and perspective. you can save so much money making things yourself.

I should add, we are 1 woman who doesnt eat much, 1 man who still has hollow legs, a 4 year old with hollow legs, and two cats, one normal legged and the other hollow legged. we keep the heat turned down and the lights off ($50-75 a month utilities, depending on time of year) and we pay about $800 a month in rent. we also do not have weed expenses, unless we want something 'special' in which case theres a dispensary on damn near every block. i am also on medications, so thats another 25-50 a month, depending on when i need to refill my thyroid meds.

 

- in school

- $10.40/hr

- pretty damn easy to find a job during the winter

- 16-20 hours a week

- I push carts at Walmart. Literally the easiest job ever. We have this cart machine that does all the pushing for us, so all we do is line the carts up and stear them into the store. I can collect all 500 carts in like, an hour. Then we have the rest of the day to walk around, smoke, and look busy. Since my job is outdoors I never have to deal with customers or managers

 

-commerce student (still in school)

-$10.25

-never had a problem finding a job, bounce between em as they get boring

-15-20

-work at the movies, pretty much just make sure people aren't fucking around in the movies and rip tickets and stuff. I stick with it because it's so goddamn easy

EDIT: To the dude above me I worked at Walmart for about 4 monthes and it sucked the life outta me. Pushing carts sounds way better than being inside

 

-in school(non-trad)

-11.50/hr

-I've never had a problem finding a job

-10-20/hrs a week

-Line cook at a Brew Pub.. super lax job.. i use to be full time but since going back to school.. i cut way back on my hours 1) because i got enough financial aid to pay off most of my bills and 2) to be able to study more and be less stressed about having to work and go to school

 

$30 to $200 an hour depending on my mood and the weather Im working in

and thats all the info you're getting Mr CIA question man

 

ebay and poker

my mom pays for my stuff

 

bachelors
15/hr
that question is far too relative. in my experience, i havent had a tough time finding a job (yet)
20hrs on site, 5-10ish hrs at home
psych job

 

i bake bread
15$/hr
i live right next to where i work, which is nice, because at least half of my time at work would be sitting on my ass, waiting for dough to ferment and stuff. so i work about 15-20 hrs a week, but i work fucked up hours. i don't mind though, it's a cool job and i like waking up at 3:00AM, getting stoned, cranking the tunes and powering out several dozen loaves then going back to bed at 4:00

 

Yeah, 98.6

minimum=$10,0000/job max=?

easy to find, difficult to plan

i've been unemployed for a little while now. i'm surprised you guys have all said you havn't had any trouble finding a job. i've been looking hard but i can't find anything...
