The Job Thread

So guys I was wondering, what do you all do for a living to afford the many mods for our cars, like where y'all get the cash? Or is loans up the a**?

I'll start, I'm a CNC Swiss Lathe operator, Set up, run and program CNCs great money. I also process deer during deer season at $60 a pop and get around 300 a year so an extra 24k salary for vacations, mods and nice things,

so you make 24,300 a year ?

I live on Long Island so its expensive to live out here so i guess you have to take all of these things into consideration when talking $$.

Im 23 and have my own appartment and my title would be an Operations/Supply Chain Manager and I make 60K a year, which i think aint to shabby, pays the bills and i still have money in my pocket.

But living on LI opposed to other parts of the country plays a big factor.

Service technician at a Chevy dealer for 12 years.

Being paid flat rate is the biggest scam ever. I hate it. I'm doing a clutch on an LNF Solstice as we speak, and its got to be one of the worst jobs I've ever done on a GM vehicle for the 8.5 hours it pays.

I did the loan credit card thing years ago, never again. all my mods are cash only now, If I don't have it, I don't buy it.

Do you mean you get 300 deer a year at $60'a pop, meaning an additional $18000? Or do you mean you only get an extra $300 a year from doing it, meaning you process 5 deers a year?

Premium Retailer so mostly Cell Phones, but we do sell the FiOS as well which I'm guessing your mom works for the Internet/Cable/Home Phone side?

Im making about 40k a year, but after child support more like 32k.

I'm a CAD opperator for a company who designs gas processing facilities. Laying virtual pipe all day.

I'm 23, and have had my associates for a year making 50k before overtime. Not to shabby I guess, but I'm hoping that will go up as I gain experience.
