[X] My Assistant

Heh... Coincidence.

I had a self-employed structural Engineer at the plant today to certify a vacuum gauge on a piece of Equipment.
(Requires 3rd party certification)

The Purchase Order was for 4 hours minimum @ $170 per hour.

He was onsite for 15 minutes, and said "OK... you're good to go".

I asked him if he wanted to swap jobs.
He didn't answer, he was too busy getting out the door to start his weekend. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I'm somewhat of an 'IT handyman'.

No certs, no college, no licensing for me though

Great. Now you all did remind me about my additional income and the hourly compensation i get for it. I should have never calculate that shit. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

Good results? Or bad results?

I have to be creative and the result let me regret i did even think about to calculate it. So what do think? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

This could be a quote from me this week. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

And you guys all remind me how shitty is my situation, to have practically only ONE useful year of experience, while being 30y/o, while my fellow graduated comrades already have 6-7 years experience for the most of them.

I really hope I'm going to be recognized as an expert in my domain soon.

17yo , 31yo, 55yo ... doesnt matter, all us are losers in way or the other (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

How could we have so much time to waste here otherwise (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Dont worry guys, even at 50 you can start to learn new stuff and got decent result. Moreover it becomes easier, because with time even if dont want then you still learn something and it helps in other spheres too. If we speak about money, then you can get a bit rich if spin in right place. In my city if job is actual and require knowledge then it can make x2-x3 of average salary, rarely x5 and yea, it can allow to live closer to center. Thats mostly all. Not so many people have very expensive hobby or something. All expensive stuff is real estate. But if someone wanna really become rich, then the only way is business. And should be ready to spend all time. And by that i really mean all time, because its not only working hours, but also time before and after time, vacation time and all other time. If not ready then its only question about small difference.

So its actually better to pick something you like and make with that money. You know there are huge amount of jobs you can do? Ive even seen something like homemade furry costumes. Thats not so cheap and actually popular enough.

private lessons

Ooo..private lessons (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
