i am an announcer / dj / emcee for a national dance competition. i also drive the equipment across the country. i work six months out of the year and am on salary for 40k.
this was entry level, although i went through a production and design based program in high school. one of my best friends had two sisters in the dance world, and it is through them that i got the position.
i love my job and couldn't imagine doing anything else.

i'm having trouble trying to figure out what i want to do.
i feel like if i were making loads of money i might die pretty quick.
but i'm scared. i don't want to live working shit jobs like delivering pizza (which i am now) i'm going back to school and i never had any idea what i was going to do. i might try this ccna thing.
i really just want some kind of stability.
what i really want to do is leave everything behind and go live somewhere warm where i can live off the land. why, oh why, is that asking too much?

That's pretty awesome. I'd love to be able to do something like that and gig the other 6 months of the year. That'd be the life..

Dont we all.
Ive come to the conclusion theres never going to be any stability though. Even if you get shit loads of money the twats who work in the bank still own you. The currency can collapse or hyper inflation so its not really secure unless you use it to buy a fortress and arm that fucker to the teeth.

i've had the same lingering suspicion that once you get ahead you won't truly feel ahead.
you may have more numbers to your name but in the end its all they are is some perverse elementary school game. unless you actually buy useful tangible things that money won't mean shit.

definitely, i spent the past 15 years chasing paper. Got very good at it but I'm no happier at all. completely reversed my thinking now and im going to live like a hobo in a tent soon. already sold 90% of my possessions. hopefully start a journey of spiritual understanding because the material world has done nothing for me and i unknowingly supported a corrupt system in the process.

i'm all for your plan. when you get through, always remember that the best place to fight the system is from inside it. lord knows this is where we need warriors of the light the most

I'm a welder for a production company that makes aerial platforms/lifts. 15.43/hr to start move up to 18/hr after 3 months (been 7 weeks so far). OT is 22/hr job is easy stuff too - worth it to go back and train more though. Get some certifications on pipe for stick welding and you can make some serious $$$

I work at an elementary school as basically an assistant to teachers helping kids who can't speak English very well learn how to. Its an entry level job that I get 8.50 an hour for. This is just for until I get my degree. I'm a sophomore in college working towards a bachelor's of science in elementary education so it works.

After studying biochemistry for three years I joined the U.S. Army. The job sucks but I get to travel a lot, unfortunately mostly to Iraq and Afghanistan. Pay is great, but I still think I will get out when my contract ends.

I take care of someone's collection of really nice cars. Pays $15 an hour cash money and it's really chill, I come and go whenever I want. But not having a schedule and not being very motivated by money (but at the same time desperately needing it) means that I take way too many days off in lieu of doing shit that makes me happy. It'll catch up to me some day but for now I'm scraping by and if I ever get the itch to make some cash the sky's the limit with how many hours he let's me work.
I also work every side job that comes my way and a little bit of hustling here and there to keep the bills paid .
