Fedex is actually a really good job after you get out of school. Our global reps make in the 50s-60s range.

I really dont get this... i know its alot of taxes etc.. but why does this look so wrong...
You make 35k/ yr = 2100/month
i make 17/ yr = 1400-1500/month
At that rate i think i just need to take on more side jobs .. Because , on some previous months when i was pulling 2 grand a month payroll ... I would work side jobs and triple that in 2-3 weeks .. So the side jobs are easy/quick money , but as of now i cant find to many

$35k / 12 months = $2,916.67 per month; the $2,100 was after taxes.
$17k / 12 months = $1,416.67 per month; I'll bet you're bringing home about $1200 per month after taxes.
I didn't go back to school until I was 26. Up until that point I had never made more than 18k in a year and was just sick of it. When I went back I had no idea what to go for but took some business classes. My first semester I took an accounting class and was hooked; a big reason was because my professor was amazing and explained things so well. It just made sense to me. I went to community college first, graduated, and then went to Le Moyne College and graduated. I worked my absolute *** off in school because I knew what was on the other side. Now I'm making over 40k/year but have some student loans. However, you could work some using your skills and not have the loans that I do, or go to a state school instead. I am making enough to live a decent life and having been on the other side, I would do it all over again if need be!
My point is that you can drift from job to job wishing you made more money or go to school and have companies clamor to hire you. When you get to choose which job to take and have the companies come to you for your services, it's a whole different outlook. It doesn't matter what you go to school for right now; most people have no idea when they are freshmen. It's all part of the process. At some point in college you will find something you enjoy doing academically, then you pursue it. Even if you graduate with a generic business degree you will get hired over anyone that doesn't. I have been in a position to interview people and hire them. Knowing the sacrifice it takes to get a degree I am always impressed by that. I am not as impressed by smart people who don't have one because they didn't feel like putting in the time. There are a few lucky people out there who do have good jobs without one, but that's luck and not necessarly skill; there are some exceptions of course. The guy who works at CompUSA may have a good job now, but what happens in a few years when CompUSA becomes irrelevant and closes like every other retailer does? Then luck is relied upon to find an equivalent job. I wish you luck either way my friend.

i make over 25k a year w/ killer benifits driving a bus for a hospital. goin' back to school, because in all honesty, even that kind of money sucks.
btw, CNA's make about $8~11 an hour over here. my BIL is a paramedic and makes less than me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
i've had a job that payed over 35k, however, when that went under, i had no schooling/skills to fall back on.
i've also made 30k a year delivering pizza, unfortunatly, that doesn't pay the doctors bills.

And now only making what i do i absolutly NEED a roomate to move in with me or what not.. I'm still deciding wether or not i want to build my house or buy and and remodel.. If i have my gf move in w me it wont be bad, but i hear the gf moving in can be pretty ugly at times.. And also if some of you noticed, i have a thread in the car section, and im looking at buying a new 07 civic si... i Have my reasons why and to me they sound pretty good.. But with payments and insurance of 500 combined that means i'd only be able to split about a 1500/mth mortgage.. 750/ per person, and thats including everything power/water etc.. So in reality about a 1200/mth home
