Here lately I've been working 70-80+ hrs a week and just non-stop. Well on commision that'd seem great right? Wrong, I'd have to stay in the shop 12 hrs a day and then turn around and run oncall all night. Had one good night where I was out all night and turned 400ish dollars in my pocket. I thought hell yea things are looking good. Came in the next day and my work thought I made too much money that night and lowered down my labor to like 100 dollars.

So yea, now I have to find a job that pays roughly 15 dollars an hr and 40hrs a week. Shouldn't be that hard should it?
I just can't take working 8-16 hrs a day for free, does something to your head.

I just quit my job yesterday, but it was planned for quite a while turned 2 week notice in and all that. I also ended up with almost a years worth of money saved up to survive on. I only plan to be out of work until May at the most but might make it more if I feel like it. I gave the excuse of concentrating on school as the reason I quit, which is true I have tripled my classes and I was all ready going fulltime. I also have some internships lined up with agencies in the field that I want to work in, so I am good there too.

Anyway good luck. I know I felt so good not having to go to my job which sucked the life out of me, I honestly started saving up last March to quit the job.

Good luck to the both of you. I feel your pain Zero, I once worked a commision gig, I hated it, it wouldn't be that bad if I chose my own hours and days. Good luck finding that new gig.

I never worked a commision job, but I did deliver pizzas so I worked on tips. Problem was that sometimes I was tipped very well, very rarely, but most time I was tipped very poorly or not at all, most common.

Good luck ZeroAccess I don't know about your area, but my area $15 is more than most anyone pays here. Hope you can find what you are looking for.

sry to hear zero i remember you complaining to me about that..i agree its bs but good thing and i hope the best of luck to you..just dont get a job at target..

7.50$ hour + like no discount=failure..im thinking about turning my 2 week in today.

Yes good luck zero, but atleast now you have time to focus on what it is you really wanna do. Hope everything works out for you.

Well, I've been tossing around the idea of joining the National Guard.
I went and talked to a recruiter the past 2 days.
Once I lose 40lbs to take the physical and what not
I'm *gasp* 270 lbs!!! I didn't freakin realized I was so fat

5'10 ...I'm almost 100 lbs over target
Going to start training with the sargent though in the mornings.
I got 2 weeks on my own , if I don't do it he's training me.

Im 5 10 5 11 ish depending on shoes or not. Im 216 and hefty

Im not sure about these deals.

Maybe check out Coast Gaurd? Watch the gaurdian first

A big good luck to you. That sounds like you had a horrible job. Definately look at stuff in government. You can get some good pay out of that if you find the right jobs.
