I start a new job Monday.

I'm working for an environmental consulting firm. We do air quality tests mostly for large factories. I'm most likely going to be working in a coal burning power plant. It's nothing glamorous but it sure beats the previous cubicle farm work I did and pays much better.

I bet it pays like $15/hr.

 

[gorillahung]

$30/ hour if you must know. Of course I'm sue that you are a CEO at Apple and have a 500 ft. yacht, that's why you spend so much time on a chat board. And I can still outlift your pathetic ass.

Congrats on the new job!

Also, if someone has a yacht and aren't inviting me over, we're gonna need to talk....

I don't care for blacks.

$30/hr. is below the poverty line where I live. Just sayin.

Do you even lift, bro?

Come to Appalachia. $30/hr. puts you in the middle class. $120K buys a 3 bedroom house with a garage in the suburbs.

At 2080 working hours in a year, this comes out to over $62,000/ year. I don't know of a place where that is considered poverty for a single person.

You'd never make in Southern CA. A decent 1 bedroom apartment near me starts at $2300/mo. and a 2100 sq foot starter house will run you $750k.
