re: Working

I work part time 20-25 hours a week as a server. My Associates Degree has nothing to do with my job. I make $2.13/hour plus tips. We don't get raises. Ever. The closest I get is an extra $2/hour when I train.

I work 34 hours a week. It's definitely not full time. I don't have a degree. I did have my CNA license when I was in high school, but since I didn't work in that field in the time frame after receiving my license, it expired. I do, somewhat, work in that field now. I'm a home health aide. There's really nowhere to go from here, except to another job haha. I make like, 7.70 an hr I think, and I've been there since 2007.   We get raises periodically, but not enough to notice. Maybe like $.10 a year, or just up to minimum wage when it goes up.
I really want to go back to school, but I can't get financial aid and I have a 17 month old so it just seems out of reach for now  

I forgot half the questions lol

But I work in a call centre/customer service position in a delivery company. 40hrs a week, considered casual still as I haven't got my contract yet. But I have my own desk & email and smurf so it's garanteed hours.

I make about $770 a week after tax, I'm not expecting a pay increase(excluding the normal 10c per hour 6 monthly increase) unless I go team leader which will be a while.

No qualifications, but I plan to start a customer service certificate soon

I'm a server, I work 5 days a week- approx 30 to 36hrs a week. They consider me full time, no benefits or anything. Hourly is $2.83 plus tips (approx $30-$60/day) no raises. Not 'moving up', it's a small family owned place- one server per shift, no managers, so there's no position above or below me.. Although I've been there the longest, I make the scheule and I train new employees.

I do not have a degree. In 12ms I hope to have a diff job, making AT LEAST $10-$12/hr and work 30-40hrs per week. My $110-$160 a week (in tips) isn't cutting it.

I'm an L&D nurse. I work full time. I have a bachelor's in my field. I don't remember what the rest of the questions were lol

I work at home creating and selling polymer clay items. I also currently sell perfectly posh pampering products. With my home buisness I am currently breaking even. With perfectly posh I make $40-$50 a month, but I only just started three months ago lol.

As far as education goes I have associates in liberal arts and bachelors in science. I actually went to college to become a teacher and got all the way up to internships before I figured out I love kids, but hate the school system. The inter workings of a school are so bad now with politics and school board calling all the shots.

Anyways, I ended up with BS of science instead of teaching degree. Science has always been one of my loves, especially in the areas of research, and geography. If I need to someday I can still get a job with science degree in research, something I would actually like lol. My dream career is to have my own buisness.

I'm a Patient Care Associate at two hospitals, basically a nurse's aid. My pay is good at one hospital and embarrassing low at the other. I started off as a sitter and finally got a promotion after a year of applying for jobs. I like it, for the most part, but I can't wait to get my nursing degree and move up.

ETA: I work about 20-24 hours per week.

I fly out tomorrow to India to do my research project for my PhD in anthropology. I will make $60k next year, but car, driver, transportation, and food are paid for. My benefactor also paid my schooling and my visa, passport, and plane ticket.
I will be working 60-70 hours a week and going to class.
When I get back in a year, I will gross $249k a year as an anthropology expert on the Indian subcontinent. Between the three positions I accepted, I will be working 70 or so hours a week. 6 days a week, 11-12 hour days because they count commute in that.

I work in Social Services, was in the middle of my BA Honours Degree in Social Work however decided it wasn't for me. Working in Social Services/Work is just too dangerous over here and I'm not willing to put myself in that situation anymore. I've decided to do BA Honours Degree in Human Resource Management instead.

I work as a dental asst making 9.00 an hour, not much as I'd like. I wanted to go back to school to be a hygenist, but the economy is aweful for hygienist right now.

I work part time nights waitressing. I make 700-1200 per week in tips and get to be home with my girls during the day. Obviously I dont need my degree, but I have a Bachelors and an Elementary Ed teaching crtificate and have poreviously taught and worked in insurance adjusting. I like my job now, but have been serving part time since 1999. Now I work high end so its great checks and always good tips.

Quoting Destiel:" I'm only making this post because I'm currently at work and bored. Do you work? How many hours a week ... [snip!] ... to earn in 12 months time? If you're expecting a pay increase is this due to college education or 'in-house' work education?"

I work at a smurffy retail job, I cant work more than 20 hours.
I make a smurffy 8.50 an hour.

I have a degree in education, NOT to work smurfing retail. I hate it. I am getting no hours now, literally the one day a work I was working was cut this week because the store sucks ass.

I. Hate. My. Job!

I stay home now. When I did work, most recently it was part time (20-25 hrs) & I made about $60k /yr. It was in sales. I also had a cell phone, use of a car when needed, mileage, etc. It was a tough job though, so even part time it had it's own drawbacks & I was technically on call pretty much 24/7 though it was rarely utilized. I worked FT before I had my 1st & then went back thinking I would stay FT, but reduced to part time & that was much better. Then when our house was paid off, I stayed home. Now I do an at home business making baby/kids clothing, but am still working up items/patterns mostly, so I haven't even started to track any money profits, etc. It's not enough to worry about paying taxes or anything at this point. I love doing it, bu twill mos tlikely not stick with it forever. I'll probably go back into teh area I worked before when my kids ar eolder. I maintain alot of contacts periodically via emails & phone calls & have had job offers, so I am trying to keep up to date on the industry so that if I wanted back in, I would still be relevant in my field.

Oh & no, it has NOTHING to do with my education. I have taken LOTS of various courses just for my own knowledge & curiosity (like welding, a course on deafness, etc), but my actual education is in pharmacy & massage therapy. It is totally unrelated to the field I was working in last. Not one bit related in any way shape or form. The only good it did me was I would offer (bribe) to give coworkers a shoulder massage while they helped me troubleshoot or work thorough a problem. THAT was very helpful. LOL
