I’m just trying to see what kind of money people are knocking down. Education: job: hourly wage: weekly: I know this might get a bit personal with people, so if you dont want to put employer just use the job area as job title, like janitor ect. I’m going to atleast go to a 2 year school, so I’d like to pick a degree to go after that has a decent wage. I’m trying to knock down 15 x 40 atleast. ---

This is a horrible way to pick your career path! Salary may play a small role in what you do, but if you have to find something you like to do. ---

> [@frofan](#): > > This is a horrible way to pick your career path! Salary may play a small role in what you do, but if you have to find something you like to do. I have to seperate what I like to do from work, when what I like to do becomes work, it gets old fast. Only thing I care about is $ signs, everyone has to do something. Thats why I decided to grab some better schooling and get out of the shop before I’m dead at 50 ---
