After reading many, many posts through the board, in all categories, I’d just like to know a few things.
Like: What type of work you posters do and what is your rough yearly salary?
Me? Area supervisor of distribution and sales. (You don’t need to list your company.) $40,000 yearly.
GROSSLY underpaid if ya ask me, but the work’s fun. And I get to wear a tie! And deal with media reps all day! And do budget battle with management types! And…and…crap.
I am a composer/sound designer/audio consultant/engineer. (self employed currently) Its freelance work so it varies widely. I was mid $20Ks last year, my projection for this year is low $30Ks.
(Shameless plug: if anybody is in the special events or marketing or theatre or media fields in the chicago area and needs an audio guy and pays decent, drop me a line at TophJJ@aol.com).
I’m a college student but I also have a job I work at year round. I’m a computer lab student consultant and technician. Sounds great huh? I make under 5K a year at this job. Stupid maximum working hour a week thing. Other than that I’m a driver. I drive my girlfriend around EVERYWHERE. Other than that I don’t do anything
I’m a (very junior, only finished school in '99) software developer. If I was full time I would earn $22,000/year (that’s $AUS though, so it’s only around 11-12K in $US, I think). I go to uni part time as well. If I was just part time at work I’d be earning $13.2K/year. But I usually go full time during the uni break, so what I actually earn is more like $15-16K.
According to my job profile, I’m a Helpdesk Customer Support Technician at Cdn$58,000k a year. Which is about 75 cents American.
However, since I’m the (oogh)Micro$oft SQL 7.0 Admin, and the (yeergh)Micro$oft System Management Server Admin, and I don’t gotta answer that freakin’ phone anymore, I’ve been lobbying for a title change. The wheels of corporate time grind even slower than Robert Jordan’s books.
I’m a user consultant in the university computer labs (job description: help freshmen open their Hotmail). Since I’m a full time student, I’m only at this job part-time and I take the summers off. I’ve never added things up, but if I had to take a wild guess, I’d say that I make about $3500/yr doing this. Good thing I live in the dorms, huh?
