^ KKK, are you me? Wow. Sounds pretty much spot on. :rofl
hatin our job buddiez
its depressing honestly. Getting paid the same money all year no matter if you sit on ass and manage not to get fired, or work so hard to figure out stuff and improve a business for someone else, someone who you will more than likely never meet, or never match lifestyle-wise (even if they are a little like you in that respect), someone that usually sees people that work for them as employee id’s. All the while your income doesnt really change, and daily expenses keep rising; gas, food, insurance, tax, etc.
then again, people might think I am the biggest asshole for saying this stuff. Ohh he has a nice job and is making a living, while I am unemployed, or struggling, he doesn’t know how good he has it. If that’s the case, that’s how you feel then FUCK YOU! Its not my fault you seem to be content with settling for 2nd place, or just getting by. Stay the hell away from me, I am here to play and here to win.
Yep, you’re me. Feel exactly the same way.
I do real estate on the side, helps pay for some stuff. And if I work harder I make more.
- College credits? Whatever I got from the Air Force…very few, lol. I’ll know soon.
Thanks for the ideas. What is CSX/CP?
Believe it or not, pilots don’t get paid SHIT until you put in lots of time, and the training costs are unreal. Plus, I despise flying aircraft, been there, done that.
:number1
I have a plan, that WHEN it works out I will have a family business I can get my children into so they can have what I didn’t when they are my age, so be it they have the work ethic I do to keep it going strong.
Thanks!
how old are you?
if under 25 you can be a air traffic controller. good pay, and retirement at 50

shit
One of my best friends works for CSX, I can get more info if you want.
Pilots is one of the top 10 highest paying jobs without a college degree. So on average they don’t make out too bad seeing as average is around 6 figures.
I’m sure starting out you make a lot less.
KK, you need to be in sales of sorts (even if selling your skill as IT) or start your own business if you want direct return on your effort.

Not to be a dick but it could be worse. Some weeks I go to work bust my balls all week go home Friday too tired to do anything but sleep and basically get nothing to show for it. Other weeks I make out like a bandit, but hey thats working flat rate.

Chessie System Transportation. I have a friend that works there and I did apply several times and go to one interview. Here is the thing, you will have to work nights for a while and by a while I mean years. My friend has been there 3 years and still works 3rd shift. The money is good, really good actually 25.xx an hour and all the OT you want to work. However based on the interview/info session I went to there is absolutely no freedom of though involved in the work process. You will do things exactly the way they want you to or they will fire you. Not saying it’s a bad job, but I personally couldn’t deal with doing the same shit all the time the same exact way. It would just get old a boring. The other thing that is really annoying is they will only give you a weeks notice for your interview and it takes the whole entire day. Literally starts at 7:00 or something and ends at 3 or so depending on what order you interview. Just my 2 cents on CSX.
if you have a 4 year degree and a resume you might be able to find something here at GE. look on ge careers .com and get an idea of the positions they are hiring for first. then electronically submit your resume. then give me your resume in paperand ill see what i can do. you never know trav.
dont mean to thread jack but hows real estate? Do you work FOR a company? Hows it work? you get paid JUST commision or a small salary as well? You have to take the 75 hour test? real estate has recently really interested me. Not really selling to be honest, but just finding the cheap properties before everyone else. There was a 3 family in Albany (yeah the hood but who cares, 13 people living in a 2 family isnt so bad lol, alotta of opportunity to have the rent paid on time) for $18,000 or best offer. If you someone coulda got that for $15k and rent each unit for $650 a month thats $1950 a month which is pretty damn good imo… Wasnt a rehab either, think it was rented as it was for sale.
OP, imo stick with mechanic if you enjoy it, I can get you a job with Infinity or Nissan or something if that helps? Either way, theres always a high demand for it and the pay can be great… Seems like alotta guys on here have went for there corrections test, but I know a guy who worked at green for 12 years and he hated it more than anything for too many reasons to list on here.
Isnt GE hiring employees withOUT college educations and then paying for them to go to college? Heard it on the news recently.
You need to get yourself right, before you start making career and life moves. Once you have that, you can do anything and bee a happy motherfucker!
My pops just retired from corrections officer of 30 years. He loved it. /pjb
GE has a machinist training program. but you already have to work here. there is a test every year. take it. score high. go through ANOTHER interview process. get accepted. take a big pay cut. go to HVCC for two years. graduate with a B or higher. then go on whatever shift they feel like putting you on/ whatever lathe or other machine they want u on. and hope you never fuck up. thats it. but they will also pay for credits for school or online classes reguardless. they just dont pay upfront like the apprentice program. and BTW… MOST EVERYTHING THE NEWS OR PAPERS SAY ABOUT GE IS A VERY STRETCHED SUGARCOATED VERSION OF THE TRUTH…and all of the ppl they recently hired “without an education” prob do have at least a 2yr degree AND they didnt hire as many as they told the public. i know of about 10 ppl so far. AND did i mention…their pay scale has been slashed by 10 dollars an hour across the board. that means that no matter what, they will always make 10 dollars an hour less than a guy doing the same job that has worked here prior to the new wave of hires…they can never get that 10 dollars an hour back.
I thought about switching to that as well, the cut off age is 30 I believe.
