Dude, can you get me a job at that place?! $52K entry is dang good, even in the Bay Area.

mine depends on how many hours i work a week, if it's over time, nights/weekends.  overall, i get paid pretty well for working about 3, 12 hour shifts a week (FT) and being a little over a year out of college.  it's nice to be able to adjust my salary when i need to by working over-time (getting paid time and a half). that is part of the reason why i decided on nursing.  i do have to say, i deserve EVERY penny that i make though. 


as for you SAHM's i wish there was some way that you all could get paid for all the work you do, because you would deserve EVERY penny that you get and then some.

I make right under 30k a year and DH makes about the same.  I've been out of college for 3 years now and I'm not even using my degree.  I remember before I got out into the real world, I though 30k was a lot of money...now, not so much.

When I did work, I made around 35K a year as one of the assistants to a financial advisor and accountant.  I don't have a college degree, and my only office/corporate experience had been in telecom resale provisioning....where I made around 30K, but after the tech crash in 2000 or so, I got out of that because everyone in my (non college educated) situation was either getting laid off or had to settle for a huge drop in salary.


Now I am a part time student and SAHM.  Our household income took a big hit when I quit working, but it was too important for me to get back in school and be able to spend time with my baby....because the husband works 75+ hrs a week and somebody needs to be home more than that!

damn girl d&t is paying you well but i guess it is northern cali.  our la office makes less than my office here.  we laugh at training over that one.  Anyways I am making $46K + bonus at my first entry level job in this career.  My first career I was making less than $20K.  It was riduculous!!

According to my W2's i made all of $996 last year temp work & mystery shopping. This year I figure it will be about $10,000, but it works out because if I make too much it bumps us to the next tax bracket & we lose money.

When I left my last job I was making $59,000 + bonuses of about $6,000. It was SO.not.worth.it.

Hey- After i posted this i kind of panicked 'cause I thought i may have used poor judgement by asking it (I thought it may have been tacky of me). My motivation for asking was that I just finished school and I'm looking for my first "real" job. I am surprised so many people replied rather than just doing the poll. Anyhoo, I made $14,000 at my last job, which was a machine operator in an injection molding factory.

FWIW, I was one of the ones that answered $0 since I'm not working right now.  But if it helps at all - when I was working, I made about 22k a year as a receptionist .


And, I personally don't find this question offensive because of the context and where you asked it.  IMO it can sometimes be quite helpful to know what other people make and at what job and stage in their career, and if you can't ask it on a relatively anonymous internet forum where can you ask it?


I am also oddly reassured that there are quite a few of us here that don't work and have significant others generating the family income.  Makes me feel not quite so much like a lazy loser !

nah, where better to ask than a mostly anonymous forum of generally like minded people?  it's only tacky in person, and worst, between coworkers!  it's one of those questions we all want the answer to, but can't just ask everybody.

Right now I am just a student and I am lucky that my parents are very generous and pay for everything. But come August I can no longer be dependent and I actually have to get a job.
