What is your job and how much do you earn per month?

[coldwarm]

Its clear I think. How much do you earn?

[Anonymous]

I'm a registered behavioral therapist and my base salary is $4K/month, or $47,500/year. But it's very easy at my work to pick up extra shifts and make a lot more. Last year I made closer to $70K and one month I made around $10K doing overtime/double-time shifts. There have also been a lot of bonuses and incentives due to COVID.

I'm also invested in crypto and making more per month staking and in liquidity pools than I earn at work. Most of the profit I make is at Cake with DFI, the returns are just really great right now and for the next couple of years. There's a bonus right now, $40 with an initial deposit of $50 or more, but it ends in a few days and goes back to the usual $30 bonus for a minimum $50 deposit.

$40 easter bonus for $50 minimum deposit

I retired as the Principal Engineer (supervisor of all engineers and surveyors) of a mid-size SoCal city. My monthly salary was $14,300 USD per month, plus a monthly car allowance of $400. A few other small perks were tossed in which brought my total compensation to $15,000 USD per month.

It was an excellent job, but retirement is better... much better.

Wow nice. Couple of questions:
1. What level of degree was needed? Do you think there are other similar degrees with the same earning potential?
2. Assuming you didn’t just start at that position, how many years did you spend at other (lower?) positions, and how many years in that final position? What were the starting and salary increases like?

[MTC29]

@zeitgeist057 Two very good questions. My job required BS and graduate engineering degrees. I hold a BS in Civil Engineering, structural engineer, and a Master of Engineering in materials science, but most engineering degrees would be acceptable. The person who currently holds my old job has a MS in environmental engineering.

You are correct: I did not start off at the top! I began my career as a so-called Junior Engineer (I hated that job title), which is an engineer who had graduated, but hasn't passed the Principles and Practice of Engineering Exam and isn't licensed (chartered in the UK). Once I was licensed I was promoted to Associate Engineer (an 8% pay increase), then I moved on to Civil Engineer (a fully qualified engineer with a 10% pay increase), then I was promoted to Senior Engineer (a lead position with a 12% pay hike), and finally to Principle Engineer (supervisor). That's the big money and extra benefits came into play: a 25% pay hike plus a $400 per month car allowance and other little perks. A Principle Engineer I was involved in very little hands on engineering. Instead I spent most of my time in meeting and submitting reports. And of course there was the annual budget to prepare. Even so, I enjoyed the job.

I worked for thirty years with the last eight years as Principal Engineer. I took an early retirement offer back in 2013 and never looked back. It was the single best decision I ever made. I made out alright in my working career. I wish you the same.

Thank you! When I was just starting out, I had no idea what to do, but I remember looking at the Civil Engineer positions flown by the city and thinking that sounded like a fun job with good pay. Though I had really no idea, I imagined it meant planning city development, things like designing zoning, expansion, or city projects like a new stadium or desalination plant.

I'm currently in school to take up a second career as a (travel) nurse. I'm planning to be retired in another 10 years, and my 13 years as a seasonal firefighter were great, even though not terribly lucrative, I was able to travel the world 6 months of every year and come back home withmore money than when I left. 10+ years of savings was only about $60K, but it was enough to buy cryptocurrency at a good time when I was presented with the Information back in 2010-2013. Now a mix of salary and passive income should get me to where I want to be by 2032.

We’re all struggling my brother just mind your coins

[coldwarm]

What?

[Opinion Owner]

I’m sorry? Why are you concerned with how much other people make?

[coldwarm]

are you fckin serious? here is a website which people ask some questions.

[zeitgeist057]

@coldwarm I personally never understood, but some people are weird about sharing there financial info. I’m not talking about bank account numbers or security associated data that makes sense, but even how much they make, save, spend, etc. I don't know if they’re embarrassed, afraid of being robbed, or that you’ll ask to borrow mulkney. It never made sense to me, especially with family. But I share info even with strangers because I wish more people had educated me sooner about finances. It’s silly to me to be so secretive

Anything can happen in life and circumstance can change so it’s best not to be open entirely about your living because not everyone has best interest. :) god bless

[zeitgeist057]

even if "not everyone has the best interest" what is the danger when you are an anonymous account on an anonymous website? Even my account, which doesn't say "anonymous", is in fact, anonymous and not linked to my personal life offline.

Just curious.

[Opinion Owner]

I’m not sure maybe you should test it out for yourself

[zeitgeist057]

ok so just a general fear of the unknown then. Fair enough.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah lol didn’t know what else to say I’m just a private person.
