Thats about $15 an hour after taxes if you're working around 40 a week. At 24 couldn't really complain at all as long as i'm moving forward.Originally Posted by linuxg
Remember the misc is full of CEO's though.

If your a project manager or consultant then yes. Otherwise fuk no. Most IT jobs pay around 15-20 bucks an hour.Originally Posted by linuxg

"Im in the IT field, standard 4 hours mon-fri "
I am guessing this was supposed to say 40 hours. FWIW most desktop support jobs near me barely pay over minimum, at least starting. Probably around $400/wk before taxes.
I made over $600/wk with my summer job working in a restaurant back in the day. So I would hate to make that at a "real job." Unfortunately, I make nothing these days and would almost prefer my old summer jobs.
Also I would never compare pay AFTER taxes. There are too many variables. And they are often based on choices and options offered by employer. For example one person could be maxing out a 401(k), contributions to optional insurances and savings plans,etc and living on their take home. While another could have no deductions and also save nothing,etc.No sig

I make about $750 every two weeks, so $325 a week working 40 hours at $12.50/hr.
I would be happy making $600 if the job was simple.

hell no. ****'s expensive in australia. average suburban houses with **** all land are $400k in adelaide (smallest, cheapest mainland capital city).
3kg of whey costs me $125, a beer costs $6 ($8-9 for anything good), large big mac meal is $7.50, chicken breast is $15/kg.
$600 does not go far. unless you're living at home and dont have accommodation expenses.

I went to college, got my BA, now I work a job that has nothing to do with my degree. But the pay is better, I take home a little over $700 a week and am only 1 step above the bottom scale. I'm a lineman, they pay well due to the risk of getting fried/killed.

Would I be happy with $600pw? Would depend on the hours I was working, it's certainly enough to get by on, but I wouldn't do it for more than a 24hr work week.

I went from a $9.50/hr job to $12.50/hr job, and I was really surprised how little the difference in pay each week was, the tax bracket changed so I had way more taxes coming out.
I went from like $275/wk to $350/wk.

Learn to write a really good resume.
The major key is to impress in the interview...know what you're talking about and have an "I wanna tackle these problems right now on the spot" attitude.
You have to be able to adapt to change and learn almost on the spot in some cases, because a textbook cannot tell you how to do everything.You don't want something bad enough unless your prepared to give up everything for it.
