Do you feel you are paid what you are worth? - Page 2

JulieCitySlicker · 07-31-2003, 10:23 PM

I don't go to sports events or buy sport related stuff

So I can throw in my 2 cents

s.floridagirl · 07-31-2003, 10:35 PM

hey Julie, I'm sure you've seen some gross crap but you are chattin with two nurses. I'm sure we can compare some good gross stories. Nonetheless, if it makes ya feel any better, i always give a great tip to the hotel room maids!! Is that what they're called?

JulieCitySlicker · 07-31-2003, 10:40 PM

Ya

I guess you guys that work at hospitals would definitely see some pretty funky stuff to

Yep, they are called maids:P That is one job I do not miss!

Bridge of Clay · 07-31-2003, 10:44 PM

yeah, right

I could use a little raise! :P

I mean, we all could!

Im a systems analyst and network administrator... i get paid 350 an hour to to maintain a mainframe and keep the network at a good status to save the company lots of money... which in turn will end up in my pocket.

once i graduate from college i *should* be at a job making between 85,000 to 135,000 a year.

straight out of high school, a few days after graduation, i took a job as a technology specialist (network architech) for a national tech firm making 45 an hour.

... i dunno, but i think im just a tad bit over paid....

IMO actors, musicians and athletes are all rediculously over-paid.
doctors and lawyers earn thier pay. even though it will cost you an arm and a leg for thier assistance, they earned that pay.

teachers are the most under-paid people out there. these people dont make career choices for the money, they do it for the satisfaction.

WOW! Thats awesome Mullet

Great for you!

hotforscott · 08-01-2003, 12:04 AM

I wish I got paid a little more. I feel I am one of the hardest workers at my job and there are some that get paid more then me. I can't complain though, it's not horrible pay and I really like the job.

TeriB19 · 08-01-2003, 06:09 AM

I like what I do and the money is great, but I hit the cap last year and no longer get anymore raises. My boss has been trying to raise the cap for our job titles for years and she's been hitting a brick wall with upper management. It sucks because I work my tail off for the company. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy it, it's not hard or grueling at all, but a yearly raise would really be nice.

JenRN · 08-01-2003, 08:12 AM

Yeah hitting the cap really sucks Teri! They need to at least give you a bonus or something! I give you a lot of credit, management stinks, someone is ALWAYS causing problems!

marlsy · 08-01-2003, 11:25 AM

man I am sooooooooo underpaid it's not even funny!!!

I'm a full time mommy and I don't get paid a dime!!! :lol: :lol:

Hey and I work around the fricken clock!! :lol:

No really, teachers really need to be paid more, it's really pathetic what they make and they are teaching our children! I have been blessed to have teachers for my kids that really love children and love their job, at least you know they aren't in it for the money!!

police officers, emt workers and fire fighters are way underpaid too!!

Mulletman · 08-01-2003, 11:37 AM

yea teachers are severely under-paid.... most plumbers make about twice as much as teachers

DangerousDan85 · 08-01-2003, 03:35 PM

being the King of the World, i am vastly underpaid, i only get $20 bucks a week, plus i have to take out the garbage, wtf?

i make some extra on the side by mowing the lawn

Dogstar · 08-01-2003, 04:13 PM

Dan, you are cracking me up today! :lol:

JulieCitySlicker · 08-01-2003, 04:18 PM

Considering what I make now is cuz I'm legally blind and can never drive because the doctors messed up my vision right after I was born the $1,000 that I get each month is nice but if it was more I wouldn't complain

I guess I shouldn't complain regardless though:embarass:

hotforscott · 08-01-2003, 04:40 PM

Gosh Julie. I am sorry to hear that. I didn't know that was the reason you didn't drive.

Dan, you crack me up.
