Well lets put it this way, I got two cheques totalling $900 for my last system build with one follow up visit to install MS Office.
I mainly work with executives. My price is high, because I spend my working day supporting computers, so when I go home, the last thing I want to do is support computers.

well im workin at sport chek, but its brutal money, and as a student trying to save as much money as possible over the summer it sucks. and its even more frustrating cause i actually am a really good worker and soo many companies are missing out. i know so many shitty workers that have dec jobs.

More then likely he drives his car, but they do not pay for the mileage and gas. That comes out of your pocket. But you can make some good cash in a short amount of time that is for sure.
Sound right Steve? That is what it was when I delivered pizza years ago.

Yeah I used to manage a Dominos and they would pay a dollar per run and tip was yours plus you got 5/hr under the table --- that was back in 2003 so I know its changed since then but still a good way to get quick cash...

Travis I hear ya about wanting a job... I've been out of work since January man and its ******* killing me, money is so tight and the jobs are so slim... very few ppl hiring for Human Resource Professionals right now... I dunno I keep trying not to get discouraged but honestly its like fighting the bleakness everyday...
That being said if you guys know someone in Human Resources and are willing to do an introduction I would much appreciate it... At this point I just want to expand my HR network and meet more HR ppl out there.
----------
In other news I'll try to post a new pic thread big Thanks to Larry who came over last weekend and helped me install my guages... They look Sick!
