If you have $24k in a bank account you are so **** dumb I don't know what to say.

That shit should be invested instead of wasted on crap savings interest.

well i think 800 a week would be good for someone who may not have much experience. i mean i been in the undustry for awhile and came over to http://www.customsounds.com and pull about 4k a month after taxes.

What location in SA do you work at?

Even if that guy is for real. The chances of someone pulling in 800 a week installing is slim to none. A master installer maybe, but not joe nobody at circut city. I am not good enough to go work at a custom shop, and even then, all the guys I know there dont make shit.

$4k a month after taxes...That is more then $60k a year. I dont quite believe it. You may, but I doubt it.

To be honest, he might be telling the truth. Custom Sounds is crazy expensive. I took my vehicle there one time to have them test the amp while it was still in the vehicle because my speakers were not working. Two hours later and the manager was trying to charge me $300. I asked him what the F did they do, install some new stuff? He went into this break down of what they did and the cost. I told him I would pay $75 and that was it. I did not ask them to work on it for two hours, I only wanted them to test the amp. He agreed and asked me to never come back....LOL

This was the San Pedro location by the way.

There is nothing wrong w/ having $24K in the bank if he is investing some of the other $$ as well. I am a firm believer that you should have 6 months salary before taxes in the bank just in case something happens like losing your job. That way, you are not desperate when you have to find another.

I am still trying to figure out the "economical depression" comment in Oklahoma. Hell, since January, 4 or 5 huge companies have announced they are moving here.

Gatorade is moving here...Google is building a massive facility here...umm...some insanely huge publishing company is building a complex. In all truth, business is booming in Oklahoma, especially around Tulsa.

Companies are paying good money for half *** workers because that is all that is left. Pretty much all of the decent workforce has been sucked up into good paying jobs with great benefits.

Right now i am getting paid $15/hr to run an Okuma lathe, in a climate controlled shop with T.Vs in the shop so we don't miss any sports or whatever.

yea, im still waiting on that response as well. im happy about the gatorade complex, especially since aep/pso got the electric contract for it. the guys that own it came down a while back and took a look at our facility. was an interesting day. either way that = $$$ for us.

I'm pretty sure starting pay at Toyota was closer to $15. There was a lot of people saying it was between $18-$20 but that was not the case, just hype. I have a friend who just left there (supervisor) and that's what he told me. Toyota does give a $00.50 raise every 6 months not based on performance.

You didn't answer my question as to what Custom Sounds location you work at here in SA.

i work as a journeyman pretty much, so all of them. BTW my cousin Ben Pedroza is an engineer at Toyota plant, i got the interview and i was offered 17/hr...my buddy Sam wound up getting hired for 18/hr so first hand experience of the hiring process is better than second hand info. the varying shifts just doesnt fit my school schedule

How the hell am I supposed to know who Ben Pedroza is? Is that supposed to make it sound more believable? What section were you going to work in, maybe that is the difference in the pay scale. Were you going to be just a line man or have a crew under you? My friend was a supervisor in the paint section and his peoples starting pay was $15ish.

Yes, their scheduling sucks from what I hear. They can come to you Friday afternoon and tell you that you are working Saturday. You cannot even use the restroom w/ out asking first and then getting someone to relieve you on the line. It is a great job if you don't feel like ever thinking or solving any type of problems.

The next time you are at the San Pedro location, tell them bastards that they owe me a speaker grill from the last time they worked on my vehicle!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I didn't even know they had jobs like that there, that wouldn't be that bad. My buddy said they didn't get hassled that much in the paint department either. He said the line jobs were the crappy ones. Then again, he quit so apparently he couldn't handle the paint department either.

It was for a really old set of rainbow comps, no biggie. You can just install all my new audio, new alarm and we will call it even.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
