Haha, he's a boilermaker, that should say enough.
Love how people don't know how much cash can be made from welding... keep your fancy degree and just hope you pay that much in taxes one day.

I can afford it but like I said, I worked hard for it and I don't want to just give it away for someone to simply play with it and charge me more than they need to. I don't like the feeling of getting ripped off.

I must say you are one of the most stubborn member on this forum. Not like I gave a solution and referenced it about 3 times now. But you only focus on the negatives when I said it NEEDS to be fixed. If you feel like you're being ripped off get quotes from local shops, they'll probably fix it for cheaper but whether or not they have the Tech 2 and know how to make it work with the chipped key is another thing.

One of my friend does weilding for a living. Yes, he makes a decent amount of money, owns a little house and three cars, but he does not pay that much back in taxes. Even with the property reductions. Also, yes I will keep my degree and work smarter, not harder. Enjoy your back and health for as long as you can buddy, I plan to retire early.

What part of I DO NOT HAVE TIME RIGHT NOW do you not understand buddy? I've repeated this multiple times too. Sigh....

I plan to retire early as well, cause I won't live for long. That's not even the worst I've heard, my buddy paid $76,000 in taxes last year alone. Go Canada.

Andrewcar1993 did provide the best answer and you hated on him the most wtf?

And yeah the goverment loves to tax the middle classer. Just not the elite one's making huge coin.

AE XIONG says he working 12 hour days 4 days a week only making 26k? I don't get how this is possible...

I swear you can't give a compliment or be nice. He works hard and makes good money for that work, if he is fine with that why should you be an ass about it.

Dude, I just realized something. You probably pay that amount because you're minimum wage and cost of living is probably a lot more than mine. LOL It's going to be hard to make accurate comparisons.

I'm not even sent out as a welder I lean towards rigging/fitting and work off our mechanics list, the welders list moves even faster. But as a Boilermaker you must know every tool of the trade and be flexible. Torch, welder, gouger, and grinder are your bread and butter.

Maybe because my cost of living isn't as much as your area buddy. The world does not revolve around you.

Shanedude

ae xiong the difference between Canadian and American isn't that much a diff when you put all factors together.

Huh? What minimum wage job can you make 76 grand at, let alone pay it in taxes?
You're just trollin aren't you

Shanedude

Our International lodge is in the US. Boilermakers wages only vary by a couple of dollars Canada to US. You are wrong as ****.

I'm sorry but I'm an EMT with the local ambulance provider. And you are? You have a degree in? You're talking trash?

You focus on the one bad part of posts and can't get off of that. You plug that plug under the column in when you start and twist the key to start, you can still move it to start from run and then remove the plug and it dies the same as turning the key off but the key is still in the ignition.

Also doing the math if he worked that much for what he makes he'd be right about $10 an hour.

All I'm trying to say is even if you think you don't have time I know it's possible to make time and find a way to fix your car. You called in sick when you really weren't and didn't get it fixed, I've never called in sick when I haven't been. This problem really does need to be addressed especially the way you are turning it off.

Shanedude

You are going to **** your pants when you learn about double time.

You working 48 hours in 4 days making 27k a year is slave labour. Join a Union learn what your time as a human is worth.

I never said he was only getting paid minimum wage and had to pay that much back in taxes. Since you cleary can't read, I stated that he may possibly be paying that much because minimum wage and cost of living is different in his area. I never said he was just getting paid minimum wage and is paying that much back in taxes. Can you just GTFO? I think you are trolling because you failed grade school and never learned to read properly.

WTF is your problem that you have to insult his way of living, he doesn't make minimum wage, he work hard at his job and is successful. If he likes it and can make a decent living why should you be insulting him for it.

Those jobs are in demand and pay well, you are making yourself to look like an ignorant fool.

Shanedude

Our countries are so similar you need to learn this. I can't believe you're an EMT getting paid so shitty. And no co-worker can help get your gimped car to the dealer what has the world come to.

Thanks for the tip.

Also, yes I called in sick for one day and when they told me that they were busy and wanted to charge me a ton for their time and that they can't even guarantee that they would be able to look at it that day, I simply said thanks but no thanks. I can't get around on public transportation and they weren't going to offer me anything. And yes, there is a possibility that I can make enough time to try to fix it myself but I need that time off for my homework and I also have my needs as well. I still have to eat, shower, do my laundry, try to live like a normal human being, spend time with my gf, etc. I have a ton of other things to do too but time is simply a luxury I can't afford right now. This pointless thread has already killed an hour of my sleep time. I only get six!

FYI, I only have a certain amount of sick call in's I can make. Unfortunately, I'm still new and haven't got my full benefits yet; hence the horrible hours and the poor pay. EMT's are on a probationary period for a full year where they go through a lot of evaluations. They can't simply throw you out there and expect you to save people's lives. So until I finish my one year period, I'm out of luck.
