Your Daily Grind?

[projectka-t]

I'm 23 and currently own and operate "with my wife" my own security company, Installing comerical/residental/industrial burgular/fire alarms also cctv. we work 24/7 so not much time for my 240 = 0 ( but hey its all good

It has been interesting hearing about every one!

[bryanmenard]

I'm 23 and I'm a system administrator for an electrical distributor. I run their business system that manages inventory, accounting, etc. It's a UNIX system (AIX to be specific) and runs on an IBM RS/6000. I spend the whole day updating constantly changing prices and costs as well as troubleshooting different employees' technical issues.

Occasionally, I get to go out to conventions and meet people who do the same thing as me.

I hate my job and love my vehicles...1993 Nissan 240SX SE and 2001 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Edition 1.8T. I love to drive in the country long-distances, particularly in the 240. My Jetta stays parked almost 99% of the time.

Dayum, most of you guys are pretty young or I am just old, lol. Anyway, 34 and I have been a mobile electronics installation technicion for about 12 year. Oh, that means that I install car audio/video/security/remote starts etc... Just about one year ago, my buddy and I partnered up and opened out own shop expanding it to sport compact accessories and performance parts. All I can say about pay is....owning your own business in it's infancy sucks

NismoGriff, glad to see someone else who remembers when these cars were new and probably had to wait until they were cheap enough to buy. I'm 30 and hopefully will finally complete my training as a counseling psychologist this year. I'm in the process of moving from Hattiesburg, MS to Wichita, KS for my internship (its like a residency for MDs).

18, I start selling parts for the cars you sell on August 1st. I am currently a contract based handyman and I ask for $10/hr cash. Although my next job I'm asking for $11. Oh, and it my spare time I am a page at a Library for $7/hr.

[WTBs14]

I am a 17 year old working at a fish market. It might sound nasty but $15 an hour is worth it and they pay cash.

[ON3_T1M3]

WOW i think i make the least an hour....5.70....min. wage in wisconsin,

[Tulsa_S-13]

Yea, I'm pretty sure I got you beat on the $ per hour rate. I get $5.65 a hour being a Photo Lab tech, and I've been there a year with one raise.

[masticatingcow]

What does premium cost in Wisconson? I'm pretty sure you can buy more gas per hour of work than a California minimum wage worker. Locally, it's $2.89/gallon.

[GrilledCheese33]

I work at a daycare, just sitting around all day making 6.25 an hour. All I do is watch the kids and be sure they don't slap each other silly I just started and i get a raise in 90 days

[chandler]

Im an ase certified technician, I work for tire kingdom and fix all of the other shops screw ups, I plan on becoming a service manager one day, I like it because I make enough money on hourly to pay my bills and all my commision goes to making my rides faster

[Lroi]

I'm 24, a father of 3, living quite comfortably as union warehouse worker and pro boxer, Kinda funny cause everyone around me cant figure out why I garged the lowrider, let wifey push the 300c while I whip a 93 eagle vision to work and the gym, and why I bought a s13 for my b-day? they really cant get! I guess they think I should waste my money on a set of 24in rims for the suv...NAH I think i've outgrown the flash!

Just cause u have kids dont mean you cant play, just adapt I'm living proof!

[ON3_T1M3]

We have 93 octane and it was 2.51 i think,i look tom. cuz i gotta get gas but yeah, i used to make 5.15 until min. wage got bumped up .......ithought that it was set federally at 5.70?

[masticatingcow]

We pay more for 91. It's teh suck.

[Kansei240sx]

I work at the Saturn/GM/Honda Complex here in town, lot porting, detail, shuttle driving, parts runner. 7 an hour 7:30 am to 5:00 pm monday to friday and alternate saturdays..... God i hate saturns so much, its so great to get back into the 240 at the end of the day.... But getting 600+ every two weeks is nice.

Its all worth what i am about to use my money for though! RB25DET style y0!

[lrb_2000]

well, i'm 18, and i've been working at Wendys for the past two years making only $6.70/hr in Idaho... but I just got a job as a projectionist for a 12 screen theatre, so that should be exciting...plus I get paid a lot more... hooray.

I currently work at a factory (masonite owned) that builds doors for Lowes...(good pay, good hours, retarded bosses). In the fall I'll will be taking a 20week welding course, so I f someone needs intercooler piping I might be able to hook them up later (once I learn how)....

Ohhh...very nice! What year 911 are you getting?

[97ka-t]

Office Space anyone?I have never worked a 9-5, and don't plan on it. I am currently in the process of opening up an online JDM parts store (Diablo, Inc- look out for it within the next year), in addition, I sell stamps on eBay - may be a little geeky, but I've made up to $1,800 off of one stamp and $10,000 on a collection of stamps. Looking to get into real estate, auto body work, and doing a little more stock market investment. It's really great to be able to make a few thousand dollars for spending just a few hours of time online. Don't get me wrong though, it's not all that easy, I've been eBaying for the past 6 years now, and it's really developed into a great place to start and expand on commercial activity, and in my case, collectibles seem to work pretty damn well. Again, don't forget to look out for Diablo, Inc- I'm in the process of contracting an individual in Japan to start shipping JDM parts, specializing in RX-7s (Used to own a '93) and 240's (Current owner of '97).
