I've been at my job for 1.5 years, within 1 year I had increased my wage by $10 and landed an entry level management position. Shit works out if you work hard, I had no prior experience or education in the industry I'm in, just rocked up and worked hard at a manual labour position for just above minimum wage, now I'm the boss of people who have master's degrees and PhD's


Sounds like you got lucky? Doesn't work out that way for most people. Not everyone is dealt the same cards, genetically and circumstance wise.


I don't think it's luck. A lot of people show up to work and do the bare minimum becuase they think they are underpaid or underappreciated or a "slave." When the boss sees someone show up and work circles around everybody else, go above and beyond, show up early and leave late, and trying to learn as much as possible, then the boss will pay to keep you around.

When I took my first job in this state I was making $24 an hour. Before the end of my first shift I already got, I think, it was a $6 an hour raise. I quit after 18 months and was the head guy making over $42 an hour and the boss was offering me much more to stay on board. You have to work hard and play the cards you are dealt the best you can. If you aren't being appreciated for your hard work then go to the competitor and work for them.

...and a lot of people show up to work and aren't allowed a five minute break to sit down

having a job, including a job that doesn't keep a roof over your head in the U.S. is back breaking work

I can see why some jobs wouldn't give you a five minute break. Like a production line if you were going to hold up the next guy. It's a free country though. You can go to the next job that offers breaks.

Getting and keeping a job in the US is pretty easy. I've had a job since 14 years old, and probably earlier, and I've worked multiple jobs at the same time.

Yeah man, I feel you. I've made twice as much as I do now before, and I'm doing pretty good, but I was pretty miserable. There is a lot to be said about job satisfaction and working conditions.

I fee that. I’ve been trying to fuck off to the Philippines to relax for a few years, but they keep promoting me. Every time it’s, @well I’ll just do this for a few months to get it on the CV, and then I’ll go...”

Been in IT for about 12 years. Right now Im a Network Admin at a large non-profit. We're an addiction and behavioural health facilty in 5 states. Its a pretty sweet gig. My office is in FL, my boss is in Indiana, so they pretty much leave me alone so long as my work is getting done. Have a 2 year degree and a couple certifications. IT is a good field in that its needed everywhere. I moved from MD to FL a few years ago and had no problem getting a job when I got here. I'll probably be relocating again in a couple more years. As long as we're not in a bad recession, I dont see myself having a problem finding a job then either.

I was under the impression that the bubble had burst and all the decent IT jobs were gone(or at least super competitively held). Interesting

Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

I push the same sort of buttons for money. Work for an international primary food manufacturer. Nice little site I look after with a couple of hundred workstations, plenty of scientific and industrial applications to keep things interesting.

You'll need an IT guy to work on your refrigerator sooner or later.

I like being the one dealing with the hardware. Once it's up on the network anyone in the world can work on the programming. Usually India and very hard to understand.

All the jobs say they want this and that but tbh some idiot just came up with a job posting that sounded good and it's little more than that.

You can circumvent a lot of requirements by having substitutes and, more importantly, networking.

Most people don't have their jobs in the middle field because of their credentials. They have their jobs because they knew someone on the inside.
