Tire guy, today was my first day off in 14days. Pay and benefits are industry best. When you clock as many OT hours as you do regular hours each pay period, the money is decent. rock on.

the cliche' is truth ... if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. Whatever job, make it fun.

I just started as a parts counter guy at my Nissan dealership today. 8-5 At least five days a week, with breaks for my classes during the workday (approx. 7.5 hours a week). I'm in my "Introductory Period," so my pay isn't that great, $8.50 an hour. However...assuming I never get a raise within the next year (which is folly, I'm told I get one at three months) I'll be making just under 17k a year.

web designer by day at large fortune 200 company that i would rather keep anonymous.

By night, I freelance web design also, recently started a joint freelance venture with one of my best friends ( http://www.chunkymoon.com ). We already have about 2-3 clients lined up without much effort, dream is to start my own studio.

Moneywise, I make decent coin, but it just started rolling in recently so I don't have much saved up, but I'm getting there. On top of my salary, I'll probably make another 5-7k between now and December on freelance stuff.

Most of that will go into mods. My sr20det install is wrapping up as I type this. Goal is to make a daily driven 300ish whp s13 fastback with looks to boot ( strawberry face, yum).

As of now, I have absolutely not 1 cent in debt. So I'm going to start saving up for a house, hopefully within the next few years....

I'm one of the constituents of the "evil empire." :D I'm director of marketing at Rounder Records in Cambridge, MA. We're mainly a blues/jazz outfit and have produced records for some big-name artists: Alison Krauss, Harry Connick, Jr. and Chris Duarte, just to name a few. My boss is none other than Branford Marsalis.

Before this, I was VP of Jewels Entertainment.

AND before that, I had a one-year stint as a marketing consultant for MB Records in my hometown of Brockton.

Right after college I worked as an EMS in the Boston area for AMR.

I hold a B/M from the Berklee College of Music, an M/M by way of Boston College. Most of my education was paid for by the GI Bill for having served in the 24th infantry division in the first gulf war.

I work for a wireless data network company in California.

One of our customers products is for the aftermarket vehicle tracking industry (see http://www.directed.com/security/viper/gps.asp for more info!). Directed Elecronics sells four products using our national network, that can be used for auto theft recovery, vehicle tracking, truly remote door unlock, etc, etc., etc.

Salary is way fine, thanks! :D

Im a System Administrator/IT Manager at a Ford dealership so basically I get to play on the net, drive cars, and carry around stuff like im busy so nobody will bother me. I also have to scowl allot to make people think im thinking about something. Overall it’s not a bad job because it’s different every day. I make about 2400 per month which works for me.
