Your jobs

wow min wage in ohio is 5.25. in california its 6.75. if you work at nice stores in the mall you can get like 8/hr plus 30% commission (talking about shoe places). my friend's last check was like 200 dollar comission and 100 in hours lol.

im a high school senior and last summer i worked as an intern in an irish company in Ireland (yet i live in california and us citizen). made 8 euros which was like 10 us dollars back then (euro:dollar heavily fluctuated since then). i had absolutely no experience except my backyard soldering. i was a technician there. i just soldered like crazy and inhaled silver, rosin, and i forgot what else is dangerous in solder. i hated the job and i hate working now. so all my friends now work at stores,restaurants, and all these min wage places but i hate to work. i use to love on hands stuff but like i found out it was extremely boring. no variations. i felt like working in an assembly line. all i did was soldered out chips and put new ones in. and the board was the same shape and everything. i felt happy when i got to use the multimeter and wow different numbers pop out!

Ohio's minimum wage is 4.25/hr

No, it's $5.25 an hour. Has been that for years. They were trying to raise it to 7 and change....but it failed.


I work in IS at a hospital with approximately 1500 PC's. in the next few years I expect we will add 1500-2000 more. I work with them at work, then work with them every other chance I get because it is what I love.

I am fortunate to have a job that I love, with great benefits. Few can say that.

Don't feel too bad, I used to work in a machine shop for $5.00, not under the table . For about 4 years, and in the winter I used to be able to see my breath, inside of the shop! The owner was a stingy ******* So I quit, best decision I ever did make

Actually, they just lowered it, but only for some certain class of small businesses. The min wage is very dependent on what kind of business you work for. If the company that you work for, has a gross profit of less than 150,000 a year, in ohio. Then they only have to pay you $2.80, with no overtime pay required! http://wagehour.com.state.oh.us/w3/...6cfcc1a6da87d5a585256618004a5489?OpenDocument
The 5.25 is a federal stipulation, for companies that 'engage in interstate commerce' or make more than 500,000 gross a year.

I am a printing rep for a medium sized digital and litho printing company. I am currently salaried but will end up on commision. It is usually around 3%-10% of the sales I make with a base of $2300 a month. I also do preflight work for the clients I talk to. It's a great job that has the potential of making lots of money depending on how hard I want to work. I get to use computers all day long. I used to be an assistant manager for Kinko's making $13 and hour with profit sharing. The benefits were good with a matching 401K and stuff but I got tired of working swing shift for years and they wouldn't put me on days. Plus the company is taking a turn for the worse. Now I work M-F 9-5. No more weekends for me. So much nicer to have nights and weekends off.

How much do you get paid?

I'm a Cabling Technician.

Have you ever been in a store and wondered who pulled all the cable to make the registers work? Ever wonder how the coaxial cable gets to the cameras, and who sets them up? Ever wonder who set up the overhead 'Voice of God'?

I do.

I get the cable to where it needs to be. I make sure that everything can talk to everything else, and I make sure it looks neat and pretty. That's my job. The hours vary. Sometimes I'll work 8 days of 12 hours days. Other times I'll work 3 hours a week. There's lots of travel and shockingly enough, lots to learn. You have to use your brain a lot, and I like that. It's not just 'get the cable over there', it's 'get the cable over there, don't destroy it, and make it look invisible'. It can be fun sometimes, but it can also be terribly frustrating.

Some of the stores we work on (in Canada, anyways) are Giant Tiger (our largest client), The Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic, Homesense/Winners, The Bulk Barn, and HMV just off of the top of my head.

The company I work for is called In-Stall. The people I work with are a bit of alright. The owners are cool and the work is a bit flexable even. If I need half a day off, I can take it no harm no foul. It's alright.

I make $11/hr. That's Canadian dollars. It should go up to $13 soon, however. I think in another month or so. That'll be great. I'll be able to pay my new car off faster

But I really do enjoy my job. Even if it's not directly related to computers, I'm still around them all the time, and I make them talk, so that's alright.

Oh! Education. Well, uh, I never took a course on 'pulling cable for fun and profit' or anything. I've taken a worthless Network Administration course. I'm mostly self-taught when it comes to computer stuff. The first thing I always tell people who want to learn about computers is 'Don't be afraid to break them!' If you break it, it can be fixed. It's a good way to learn (albeit not the most practical ).

I'm in Accounting and going for my CMA (Certified Management Accountants) exam in a year or so. Current salary for the level where I'm at is around 30-40K a year. Once you're a full fledged CMA avg is 80k a year+bonuses. I start off in U of A taking computer science but I just didn't like working with computers 24/7.

So your the "Cable Guy" in a different sense (but no less of a sense)... hehe.
