Right now I work at the Sears warehouse. No offense to anyone who might work in one, but working there has really showed me what the real world is like, and has encouraged me to get the hell out of there and get somekind of a post-secondary Education.

I know the feeling, it's nothing but backbreaking, headaching work.
Funny thing is at a hotel I worked at, this girl at the front desk worked like and was treated like a dog and after a few months of that, she finally smartened up and went back to live with her parents so she could go to school instead.

I'm an accountant for an oil and gas pipeline. Quite a dull, boring, uneventful job.:zzz:
but it pays good!:thumbsup:

Every weekday, 7:30-4:30 I sit on my butt in my office, type numbers into the keyboard (mostly excel and platinum), bother engineers, talk to summer students, make/answer the odd phone call, waste time on the net. After work, do consolidations (Advanced Financial Accounting) through Athabasca U correspondence.

[HRD2PLZ]

Working full time for my dads company. It sucks hardcore! I'm also currently upgrading my high school and planning on going to Mount Royal in January. Outside of that I hang out with friends when I'm not at the hospital (I'm like a walking disease).
And up until last week my boyfriend kept me busy :love: But, then I got dumped :dunno: :banghead:

I am a struggling student trying to make ends meet. I am currently taking a spring economics course (ECON 443 for those who care). I am going to be entering my 5th year of school in the fall.... ugh. :banghead:

When I'm not doing that, I am eating Pho.

[Moe]

I have the unfortuate pleasure of working with Pete92SL at StarChoice Communications Inc. One week after finishing my training for a CSR I was hired as a Retention Rep... in other words collections.

Ya better pay your bill or... :guns:

I'm also going to be working for Fido's summer promotions team where I'll have the oppotunity to make MAD money. Depending on how much time I have I could pull in an extra $800.00/week working for them.

I live cheque to cheque as well. In fact I am willing to bet that I am worse off than Kenny and Rage2 at the moment. My expenses are approx. $1,000.00 more than what I make at the moment, but I'm stuck with that sweet ass car. :thumbsup:

And as mentioned by HRD2PLZ I too was being kept busy by my girlfriend :love: until she dumped me. :dunno: No I wasn't dating her... lol

What is it with women anyways??

You too? :dunno: I run my bride service out of Lithuania - I save money on freight shipping that way.

[4wheeldrift]

I find the exchange from dollars to peso is much better however. Besides, there is an ample supply of crack whore's available to choose from. All you get in lithuania is a bunch of women who never shave :angel:

[bol]

I need to get into more 'bulky' women and sell to Japan - they're like tuna over there, they pay by the pound.

[HRD2PLZ]

I've got some high expenses too, but I can't live cheque to cheque. I do however waste a fair amount of money each month. After I put away for savings, rrsps, etc and pay my bills, I waste about $1000 a month on :duh:

[kenny]

How about investing some of that money you waste into the Save Kenny fund? :clap: for 12 easy payments of $125 per year, you get yourself the satisfaction of knowing you are helping keep a poor boy off the street and under a roof.

I guess it really depends on the size of the pay check. A lot of people live beyond their means which is so bad.

But it also depends on how long an athlete lasts, some football players last only 4-5 years and the're wrecked, physically and financially. Look at Dynamite Kid, this guy had $250,000 in a suitcase to buy a house in Springbank back when he was wrestling, now he's in a wheelchair and flat broke.

My boss's brother inlaw is on the Vancouver Canucks, not good enough to be on the team that plays, not crappy enough to be sent to the farm. He's one of the lowest-paid NHL players and this guy had a paycheque sitting on his coffee table for $100,000. That's just a SINGLE paycheck for a guy who shows up for practice to keep in shape and during the games, sits in the owners box. :eek:

It's somewhat depressing trying to comprehend that amount of money, and then you think of Jarome Iginla...$$$
Man, I'm so jealous

What happened to Dynamite Kid was very unfortunate but what can ya do

But for most professional athletes with the exception of lacrosse and cfl players got it pretty dam good!

True careers can be cut short but the amount of money they make is unbelievable!

MODS? I got repairs coming out of the yin-yang, $400 for brakes, $600 for tie-rod suspension fix, $700 for a new rear oil seal/axle seals, $400 for new water pump and possibly timing belt. Then a $1900 rocker panel repair (according to renfrew), which should be only $700 if I get Mahesh to do it. $2800 in repairs in the span of about 3 months! I'm a happy camper!:thumbsup:

[Ben]

You bought a neon why again?:dunno: :D :thumbsup: :rofl:

Thats rough. I beached my VW on a curb after hitting it at 50km dead on, and I needed a new Steering Rack, Control Arm, Drive Axle, Tie Rod, Bushings, a motor mount, new rim, and a Frame alignment...total bill was $500 with labor.

Repairs suck ass!!!!!!!!

What do you need brake work on?
Are you replacing the hub? (What year is it again?)

Timing belt - Stress that it's Torqued to Spec
Very IMPORTANT.

Renfrew: talk to the parts Dept directly. I find the shops will always be a bit more when it comes to part price.

[mwmhong]

Benny, it wasn't just a tie rod, it was other stuff like engine flushing, wheel alignment, brake crap, etc.

Speedracer, it was replacing front and rear brakes plus flushing out the brake fluid (very dirty).

It's 1995, 106,000+ clicks on it. I''ve actually considered buying a new car, but I won't!:nut:

Trust me, its not worth the money. :thumbsdow
Not to mention SAIT's a bunch of money grubbing bastards.

If you want to get into computers, find a more specialized program. I'm going back for evening class for webdesign and graphic design in the fall.

:eek: :eek: Here comes the unsolicited free internet advice. - I'd really check into the work available there unless you have some freelancing ideas or definite leads into the field. I was laid off as a production artist and found myself amidst a glut of unemployed web artists and designers of all kinds. There's always someone younger who will work cheaper for longer hours so it's an employer's market. Also IT is a hairy industry to get into, not for the faint of heart or sub-genius level! But if you want to go for it, good luck!

I've since retrained (for the zillionth time, no exaggeration) and now my jobs are with guns and cars. Hey, those are my hobbies too! :clap:
