Anyone making good living?
I went to college and still broke. and I am hard working person.

So what is best to do; where you invest little and make tons. let say 10k-20k investment or even lower and you make good living (NOT 40k-60k). good living where I am is probably 80k and above.

Please also post. How much you make a year and what you do?
I know there is another post which lists "how much pros really make"

but here you can add more what you should have done to make more money.

 

get a trade most make good money and u will always have work

 

not always true,, i been a plumber for 8 years, just got got laid off for the next 3 months till work picks back up... I make about 60,000 a year,, so as of now unemployment gives me $450 a week to chill..

 

bigkapp chilling with no income is hard. weed is 10bux a gram. nice avatar.

 

i work for a subcontractor putting in cabinets in new houses, easiest work. and a kitchen that pays about a thousand can be done is 5 hours with 3 ppl. I get 20 percent of each one. big money. A trade is where its at

 

and now u make about 45k a year to chill see good things come from trades and u can always find plumbing work off the books

 

no complaints from me dude, haha, its still dumping snow here, so i just snowmobile everyday.. and ya theres always a leak to fix... dont get me wrong trades are great to get into, i make more a year than about 50% of my boys that went to college.. if i could do it over, electric is where its at..

 

if you read my comment, i get $450 a week on unemployment... so where i live at you can easily pay rent, bills, and the weedman..

 

by me there is a ton of electritions most that are in the union are laid off theres just to many plumbings where its at no matter how bad times get people always have to **** lol

 

I sell Honda autos, love the business, hate the hours....big money in upper management tho

 

Off topic sorry.

Pfft the weedman. Son grow your own! I did for 7 years. Never bought bud since high school. a $400 investment would keep you supplied year round with some bomb dank if you do **** right and get some good genetics. **** paying $400+ an oz when you can spend $400 start up and about an extra $40 a month electricity to pull 4-8 ozs every 8 weeks. Just don't tell anyone and get your odor control on lock. Then you don't have to play the games of going and getting, not to mention you know how it was grown, cured and the quality is consistent. Wish I could still do it still but I got a kid on the way and I work for a reference lab as a molecular pathologist. All good though enjoyed it while I got to.






Ok back on topic.Are you talking about any job or stunting strictly? What do you have your degree in? You said you went to college. You just have a bachelors? If so maybe you should go back and get a masters. I took a lower paying job with great opportunites, only making ~$55K a year. Could have been making $83K out in Phoenix, AZ. Not a fan of the area though, that and the place I work for is just now getting started and I was the first person hired for research and development. They are partners with ARUP which is a large lab in Utah that processes millions of patient samples every year, that is what we plan on getting to. Should be processing about a million or so a year within the first 3 years. So there will be plenty of room to move up instead of taking a higher paying job that I wouldn't have any future opportunities at unless a medical director dies or something. We do testing for all kinds of stuff from cancer to infectious disease to hereditary diseases to allergies and immunology. Some of the stuff I've worked on for them includes STR analysis for tranplant patient monitoring, STR for paternity, HIV viral load, HBV viral load, cystic fibrosis genotyping, various cancer biomarkers(Kras/BRAF/EGFR/Ckit/Cmyc), H1N1 tamiflu resistance, and other infectious stuff like a respiratory virus panel. Yada yada yada, I really enjoy it. Bores the **** out of almost everyone else though.

 

I'm a computer nerd...plenty of work out there....i do ok

 

I did Bach. in Bio and certifcate in Biomedical Engineering. I did that same work molecular docking and more..... crystallography, heck I even worked from culture growth-protein extration-to structure determination and more.
looks like my luck is down.

 

I'm gettin the MAX unemployment right now in michigan and that is "$774 every TWO weeks" or "$387 a week"and thats with the extra $25 a week the government is puttin on it.
Where do you live where Unemployment compensation is $900 every two weeks.

 

Im in Colorado, the max here is $485 a week..

 

logger here. times are tough right now really tough not a mill open taking wood and not the time of year yet for the firewood. not a dollor bill in my wallet and $6 in the bank but come mid june when people want firewood ill be pullin $250 a day so im not to worried about it atleast until next winter

 

Im a dispatcher for a trucking company in Long Beach. I get Paid 15an Hour and I work Parttime at Autozone. Moneys Allright. But then again Im 20, With a 1 1/2 year old daughter, House payment, Subie Legacy Payment and random bills.. I gots ta hustle. Ive heard alot about learning a trade cause its better blah blah.. I dont think so.. Everything comes to a slow Point, whether is be retail, wholesale or transportation (not to mention trades) I mean how many electricians are out that are certified and still unemployed? I always say to have a back up plan and you`ll be good.

 

its not always a definite that when you go to college your gonna have a good job, like dude said he's a plumber and he's laid off for 3 months til it picks bak up again...apply for a state or gov't job...you live in NY, its plenty of legal money out there, just gotta find it...go take the post office exam...thats where i've been since i was 19...and im 23 now...its a good job wit good money and good benefits...although you deal witta lotta bullshit, at the end of the day you all good...come 2 work do ya job and go home at the end of the day nah mean...jus keep a good head on your shoulders and you can make it to da top...idnt plan to be here foreva but igotta do wut igotta do for now...also...take the police exam, even NY officers get paid shitty to do so much i would do that just 2 get my foot in the door and transfer over sumwhere that tops out with mayb 90k-100k a year...apply for port authority...yo its hella money out here my dude, like i said you just gotta find it...holla at me

 

Keep your head high man. I'm sure you find something just jobs aren't very abundant in any field at the moment. I have engineer friends of pretty much every discipline/variety that are having problems finding jobs right now as well. So know you aren't alone. I was about to take a BS job detailing cars at a local dealership while I tried to secure a job utilizing my degree. In all honesty I lucked out to land this job here, I wasn't finding many jobs around here in Dallas when I was looking. You would have more luck if you were willing to relocate. The other jobs I looked at before getting my current position were in Phoenix, New York, Colorado, New Mexico, and Dallas. You might go over your resume, make sure it is current and has good key words for different techniques and tests you are familiar with and all that. You might want to post your resume on Science Careers too. http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/
