Atleast it's a good workout
Right?

>>55661820

That's how much I make working in a thermoplastic factory OP.

>>55661820
I work my ass off for $18/hr

>>55662078
>work my ass off for $18/hr

If it has transferrable skills that's good

>>55661820
Learn 2 code https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Or make friends with people in a union. Find a bar near a UAW factory and go drink there.

Or go look up an Iron Workers local union (unless you're afraid of heights, then don't).

Or join the French Foreign Legion.

Or sign up to work as cook in Antarctica.

Or apply to work in the oil fields.

Or get a job as a deck hand on a barge and work your way up to the sailor career ladder.

It doesn't

How can I learn when I work 60 hrs a week

>>55662278
A week is 168 hours. You work less than half of that, you have no excuse bitch.

>>55662098
Yeah I'm thinking about becoming a train guy.

>>55662393
It's ok but the schedule is shit and there is a very real possibility of being killed even if you do everything right. Pay is decent management is hell universally across the board.

>>55662391
we dont have the aptitude. we didn't grow up with asian or rich white parents

>>55662668

They complain even more cause there's a shortage of drivers and they work 6-7 days with no life outside

>>55662393
Freight conductor life is nightmare tier. You have no clue what your getting into.

>>55661820
You see, what you have is a "Job". You want a "Career". You'll have to start from the bottom if you start over in a new field though. Thems the breaks.

>>55663143
Please elaborate

>at the upper limit of what my company seems willing to pay me but cant easily find another job

golden handcuffs are real anon. if i got laid off i feel like id be pretty screwed trying to find comparable work

>>55663263
>You'll have to start from the bottom if you start over in a new field though.

I don't mind since white collar jobs pay more, even at entry level

>>55662098
That's right
But how many, Anons' are going to try
any of these suggestions that would unironically work.

>>55663143
Speak on it. Pros and Cons
List'em

>>55663311
These were some sick ass digits though, chall niggas cant lie

Hi im from poor country and i need to give me opinion since im recently in here.

USA best country for money, you work 8 hours you go home, some time you stay extra, YOU GET MORE EXTRA MONEY! Pizza as well one time.

Work is easy as roofist, you place the black things in roof people give you money. 20 by hour, KACHING!!! $$$

House is cheap if you drive an hour to work, food costs cheaper then in my country. COSTCO MORE CHEAPER THAN IN MY COUNTRY!

Police once lets me go if I have no license, didn not have to give them money, they free me for no money.

Black people lazy white people afraid, if you work more versus them (easy) they call you things. No matter hah, they will not be live for too much (police encounters).

Overround, Americans are complainers, I like USA very much

>>55662393
try to avoid getting raped. trans is a tough job.

>>55662098
Where do I apply to work in the oil fields?

>>55663947
Based. I immigrated to au as a white cis male from my shithole, life is good knowing how shit would be to make a living back home

>>55662098
where do i apply to cook all the eggs in antarctica?

>>55661820
$42 per hour, work 4 days a week, Crypto portiflio worth $55k. It's over

>>55661820
>>No transferrable skills
then just work there forever, do they have good benefits?

>>55664133
It's union but the oldest guy here took 20 years to go from $20 to $30 so I don't wanna stay

>>55661820
>Merchandiser
That fancy wording makes it worse because when you meet someone new and tell them what you do, they expect one thing and get pic related.

If you live with your parents, you're making more at $20 an hour than engineers.
And even more on top of that if you're simply not retarded by feeling the need to buy a new God damn car every other year, or going out to eat, or drinking, or smoking.

>>55662430
But then some day you get to be the mean yard master.

>>55663123
They do. I did. Made good money though.

>>55663947
Why don't you people clean your fucking homes and paint in your home countries?
It looks like shit there because it looks like shit. Make it not look like shit. How fucking hard is it to sweep and scrub a wall once?

>>55662777
how'd you get to where you are today?

>>55664012
If you have a CDL you can get hired pretty much immediately and start making $80k to $100k. If not then they’ll probably still hire you on the spot but you’ll start with shit money

go to UPS, new contract just dropped, all but confirmed:
21/hr min for all PT, start as package handler. bust ass through peak, take on as many additional shifts as you can (they start you part time 25-30 hours), apply for full time WH / driver gig after a year or 2
> get shredded even more so than stacking sugar water by loading trucks
> FT wages going up to $49 / hr avg


Used to work there and would probably have stayed if pay was better back then.

>>55661820
>Arny
>$3.53/hr
Yea shut the fuck up

Unironically recommend driving too. Demand for goyslop instant delivery is undeniable and growing. Don't let that retard Elon convince you that you're going to be replaced by robots when that dipshit spreads him self so thin with his autism pursuits that he eventually abandons partially finished.

>>55664954
>go to UPS, new contract just dropped, all but confirmed
I was just talking about this with a friend the other day. Demand was enormous during covid.
>govt job and benefits
>pension
By the way what's the pension now? 1% x avg highest gross / n# years x years served, or something like that?

>>55664954
> FT wages going up to $49 / hr avg

bullshit

>>55665020
It's true, the union has them by the balls.

>>55665020
Drivers were maxing out at $40 an hour a decade ago when I worked there. This isn’t even that much

>>55665020
That's when they cap off. They need to work so many years to get to that though.

I make $18 as a septic technician

>>55665008
...sorry, was thinking USPS. Both are great though.

>>55665091
I make more than that as a waiter…

>>55665091
If you're going to be a wagie, take the smart route anon. Join a good union and leverage collective bargaining if you just want to work and not have to meticulously plan and pivot a white collar career.

>>55662098
The fact that learn 2 code is first on the list continues to confirm my belief that switching out of CS was a low-key smart move for my career

>>55664538
I actually was eligible for that position very very quickly for some reason that still escapes me but I didn't end up staying with the railroad. I REALLY wish I had now, though. That would have been insanely comfy.

>>55664945
How do I get a CDL? Is it a per state thing?

>>55664954
>>55665020
i did a double take too, but that's seemingly now the top rate for drivers. i know it used to be around $40.
sounds like a good job if you want to put in a shit load of hours and don't have formal education.

>>55665260
You think most people with a formal education make it to those sort of rates or equivalent compensations?

>>55665188
Companies will pay you to get it. Some like Central or FedEx Freight will make you do forklift. Others like Prime will ask you to live on the road.

>>55661820
>Pepsi Merchandiser
kek I see you wagies when I go to the store in the morning. I don't mind you at all as I'm in no hurry to get back to my WFH job ;)

>>55665020
it's a shitty job anon.

>>55665110
We know, and we hate tipping you.
