How does one make 1000+ a week without a college degree? I don't get it...

How does one make 1000+ a week without a college degree? I don't get it. Every manual labor job pays less than 15 an hour or they want experience on top of knowing a skill already. So what the fuck? And truck driving pays shit, and getting into a union seems hard as fuck so what other options are there?

the military

4.5k guaranteed

A week or month?

>4.5k guaranteed
Per month maybe.

Dude I work as a security guard and make 950 a week lol

Who even needs a grand a week? My take home pay comes to just short of £3k bonglander bucks a month, I bought my house outright and haven't needed credit in maybe ten years. I've got a fair whack of cash stashed, even if it's depreciating faster than it's losing interested.

Honest question OP, how much do you need to earn to actually break even?

Not sure what shithole country you live in, but in AMERICA you need a high paying job to afford decent shit

My wife makes $4000 a month as a manager of a pizza place

I only work 40 hours a week , night shift and I make $920 a week in the hand after tax , it is night shift so I get an extra week off a year , so I get 5 weeks paid vacation per year , plus 12 RDOs.

Industrial/Trade Waste DAF Technician , I monitor a plant and make adjustments , for the majority of the night I mostly watch TV and movies on my phone , but if something breaks down I have to analyse the problem and fix it or have it fixed.

This. People pay nicely to feel protected, armed security guard here. Take home about 850-1100 a week depending on overtime.

Well I want no more than 25% of my income to go to rent, so if I pay 900 a month in rent I want one paycheck to cover that. That way I'll have enough to invest/save/spend without stressing out.

>My wife makes $4000 a month as a manager of a pizza place
Net or gross?

There was a hint in the thread, wise arse. Basically I broke even at about a third of the wage I'm on now, I can't help it if other people want to live far beyond their means.

I just landed a job moving boxes around a warehouse on a pallet jack. If there's overtime I can make about 900. Being single, I find it more than enough money to live off and even support an MTG and pc gaming hobby.

I'm a journeyman meat cutter and I make a little over $1000 a week before taxes

> 2016
> Paying rent

Fuck's sakes, you not own your own property yet? How pleb are you?

Net

I'd rather not have a job where I'm sitting on my ass all day, when I'm older maybe

How did you get the job?

>Take home about 850-1100 a week depending on overtime.
You take home ~1k/week doing security? Bullshit.

>How does one make 1000+ a week without a college degree?
In college?
A friend did 5K$ in 3 days between dancing bachelorette parties and fights for the Angels. His dad was an Angle so he had an in. He did get one of his front teeth broken but got the money for the trailer house.

These days. I let people elect Trump. Now I watch my pharma/medical and financial stocks rise like a mofo.

I work in IT and make more than this easily.
1) Be willing to keep your nose down a little.
2) Don't let your nose fall into the shit.
3) Repeat 1 and 2.

DAF? No speaka..

Why the fuck would I buy property when I'm not even 30 or married yet? That is utterly retarded and I really hope you're trolling right now. The taxes alone would rape me, I mean maybe if you live in buttfuck nowhere it makes sense

...

Was he acute one?

So depending where you live, your wife makes between 70k and 90k to manage a fucking pizza restaurant?

Sell real estate. Pass a test, cold call, and make unlimited income. I'm 3 years in making $125k now

If that is a pic of you you can make that every night stripping.

I work armed security in a chemical plant. There's hazard pay involved in that. Of course if you work security at a retail store your going to be pulling MAYBE 400 a week. But working 50~ hours a week in this environment, with this sort of product to be "protected". It's all about where you work if you wanna make good money in security

>His dad was an Angle

Acute, obtuse, or reflex? Radians or GTFO.

>And truck driving pays shit

I work at ups and im getting $30 an hour

Get references that are willing to talk you up.

I'm 20 & making 75k a year as a digital specialist. I'm good at what I do, but for my age, I shouldn't have gotten the job.

Heyo Millennial, got a bit of news for you here. Manual labor jobs start at like $15 an hour, but if you put in HARD WORK and DEDICATION to your trade, you can easily bump that up to 30-50 an hour. Sure, it's not going to happen in a couple months, but if you start making cabinets now for 15 an hour, in 10 years, you can be making 30+ an hour. Truck driving pays shit if you cant be bothered to build your credit score and finance your own truck, which can bring you easily 50+ an hour. And joining a union is not tough at all. All you have to do is work hard and pay your dues.

>Why the fuck would I buy property when I'm not even 30 or married yet? That is utterly retarded and I really hope you're trolling right now.

Says the guy who pays someone else $900/mo to exist. Opinion disregarded.

Last time I checked I don't have a rich daddy to get me a job or give me money to gamble on stocks

I don't want a white collar job that's my point

Its called entry level retard. You work your way up while learning. Try a trade skill, or truck driving. Contrary to popular belief Truck driving does pay well.

Exactly

Join the military, train in a high demand field that would almost always require a degree in the civilian job market. Boom. Problem solved

Being not yet 30 or married is irrelevant. You buy property so you get the mortgage interest credit on your taxes and BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT INVESTMENT. Even if you buy a stupid rat hole tiny condo.

Jesus - do I have to teach you everything?

I make about 4200 every month, thats without overtime, , so far this year I have done over 400 overtime hours

Yup. Its no joke.

If you can clear 1k/week doing dumb-ass security then you are living the dream. Well done.

Truck driver. This is a shitty week. You just need to look at the right company.

>So depending where you live, your wife makes between 70k and 90k to manage a fucking pizza restaurant?
I remember in HS every time we'd stop at McDonalds we'd make fun of the fat kid from school.
Summer after HS I stopped in for some McNuggets and there he was so I poked fun at him for his McJob. He showed me his check and pointed out he managed that McDonalds. Fat fuck was making over 60 a year. So I pointed out that he was fat and left.
4 year later I got a job that paid 60K over the summer for landscaping.. Quit that shit in 2 weeks. 60K over the summer is crazy OT.

I got into drilling and blasting and it pays really well

Nursing. I am a new grad RN, spent 2 months in a new grad program before they shitcanned me to meet quotas before my 90 days were up. I made 10,000+ in 2 months. That OT adds up quick.

Get a skill or something. There's usually adult education stuff somewhere and they will have classes that will get you trained to do better than minimum wage work. I took some water technology classes for a few months and become certified in that. After I got certified I got cities sending me job offers for 50k a year.

before or after tax?

7791 here.

The other advantage is that when you own your place outright you have the freedom to (a) tell a company to shove their job up their arse (b) go freelance for a bit and (c) take a few months off on your savings.

If you're really after shuffling along the treadmill until you get to retire, I won't deny you that - it just seems a bit shitty to be beholden to landlord/ / mortgage all the time.

21 y/o making 100k+ a year. Facility management is a good gig.

Literally any factory job pays 15 and up

>Last time I checked I don't have a rich daddy to get me a job or give me money to gamble on stocks
My money is my money. dad never did anything good for me.
My job barely pays over 6 figures so I'm not rich. Add in a wife and many GFs and I'm pretty much fucking poor.

>this

Start learning web/software development. There are plenty of jobs out there for people who are good at what they do. Corporate entities love hiring onshore developers.

Technical Advisor in the automotive industry here. My base pay is 26 an hour. Usually do 1.5 hours of overtime a day and work 3 hours overtime on Saturday's. Usually make just under $1,400 a week and to be honest, I do fuck all every day. Living the easy life.

Work in a kitchen.
You'll make shit/hour but work 100/week.
That's what I do

Obviously that's not me, hot white chicks almost never struggle to make money

Manual jobs do not start at 15 an hour buddy, trust me I've been looking. Without experience you'll make 10 MAYBE 12 an hour max. But by all means, show me some job postings with 15 an hour no experience required. It is so fucking obvious you have no clue what you're talking about holy shit

There is no working your way up anymore. Most jobs are either dead end or you get a slight bump in pay for double the work.

No its fucking retarded buying a single family house when you're single. What if I want to move? What about taxes, maintence, and all, the other bills that come with having a house? Please don't give out bullshit advice as if I'm some retarded teenager.

What company did you start with?

support mtg hobby
Must be millionaire

After. And I don't pay state, Texas. Per diem here at Western Express is weird. They take my 48 cpm and split it. 16 cents per diem or duty free, 32 cents taxed. I wish they did a per day dispatched. It works out okay if you roll all the time. But if you sitting your not getting paid per diem. No lube on that dick.

>100/week

Working 100hrs a week in a kitchen is the best way to kill yourself slowly. Don't do this.

So fucking start at 12 an hour you panty-waste. It's more than you're earning sitting here on Sup Forums crying about how little you earn.

Apply to graveyard-shift security jobs. I used to work as night time security in a pretty wealthy area for $15 an hour. I got a raise after like two months. There was almost no crime in the area, so id just fuck around for most of the night. It has to be the night shift though, you get paid a lot less if its normal working hours.

I don't want to do OTR, I'm looking into local or regional. Even if I'm working 60-70 hour weeks I'll take it for now, but sleeping in a truck? Fuck that shit

I'm not an illegal so that's definitely not happening

Started with crst. Don't do that. Then I went CT out of Savannah. Then MCT out of Sioux falls. Then Western Express. Western treats you like shit, but I clear 1400 on a good week and I don't have to talk to people for a living.

Nigger. You got to start somewhere. Ain't no local place hiring you. Especially with a shitty attitude like that.

I wouldnt mind except that's a waste of fucking time. I'm gonna do a manual labor job for 10 an hour busting my ass for what? So I don't learn shit and they can threaten to fire me every chance they get? Now if its 15 an hour with OT, we can talk otherwise fuck out

I'm not but am the other guy you're seeming to rail at. Let's take your property owning criticisms as they come:

>No its fucking retarded buying a single family house when you're single. What if I want to move?

Then I'll move. I have collateral to fund this, or I can rent my place out to fund the place to which I'm moving.

> What about taxes, maintence, and all, the other bills that come with having a house?

Council tax is under a grand a year (as opposed to the grand a month rental cited earlier). Water is a few hundred a year. There's also utilities, but I'd pay them wherever I am. In all, keeping me in power, nets, water, gas, and up to code costs a bit less than £500/month.

> Please don't give out bullshit advice as if I'm some retarded teenager.

Please stop acting like one then, adults are typing.

>No its fucking retarded buying a single family house when you're single.
Single and no house.
Dude you can take a job anywhere. Go drive a truck in Iraq for like 300K a year. (medical benefits do not cover beheading so try to avoid that).
Go where the $$$ work is. Go to an oil field, live in a shipping container and start at 120+K/tr.

Retirement at twenty years, financially independent retirement a few years later if enlisted or at twenty of officer. You then get to enjoy the rest of your life.

My bunk is more comfortable than my wife's bed at the house.

work for the railroad, buddy makes +100k a year with a GED.

Yeah, I thought so. You'd rather complain about your situation than do anything about it. Gotcha. Good luck with that.

>Nigger. You got to start somewhere.
Fuck you. His mom says his skill-less millennial ass is special and deserves 50$ an hour! You can't argue with his mom.

And have 0 time to yourself and want to kill yourself; on call 24/7. The railroad fucking blows

worked for a small local business for the last 5 years and now i'm working towards owning it. should be making around 1k/week when it comes down to that

This shit needs a like button. Somebody get China moot working on that shit.

SO doesn't want to strip
Doesn't want to do street fights for teh Hell's Angels
Doesn't want to do white collar
Doesn't want long hours.
Doesn't want to go where the work is.
Doesn't want to work his way up.
Doesn't want the night shift.
Wants high pay.
Have you considered checking to see if "Being a millennial" is hiring?

Everyone starts at the bottom. EVERYONE. a college degree means you start at the bottom of a job that uses a desk. No degree means you are on your feet.
So long as you try to be good at your job and learn about your job you will move up. Im in the Army, I make decent money but thats after 15 years (better be making decent money after that long) about $75k US. My wife is about to get her CPA and make $35-40k a year because she is just starting out.
Dont get complacent with where you start and always try to move up. My friends that didnt enlist are all making 50-90k depending on how hard they tried to get up higher.

Lol
What if you want to move?
Sell the place. If you got a good deal buying, you can profit.

Taxes maintenance etc. ? Mortgage+all that = cost of regular fucking rent.

If you can't figure this out on your own, you might as well be a retarded teenager.

>without college degree

glad you read the op

Doesn't crst make you sign a contract before they hire you? How much experience do you have at this point because no offense, that's a lot of job hopping there. I've heard it's a bad idea to do that as a driver because its all kept track of and it looks bad

So I have to be a slave in a truck to "start somewhere"? Fuck that shit. If they at least set you up in a motel maybe but sleeping in a truck AND you're not getting paid for that? Thats just bullshit

No I'm saying I don't mind working for shit, but jobs that pay shit AND lead nowhere? Yeah no

I never said I didn't want long hours or to move you dumb faggot

i started at 19 as an overnight janitor for a kitchen, made 14.50 after the overnight differential. the answer is you gotta get someone to think you're likeable and worth trusting with some shit, hands on job, and you'll get plenty money

You must have cheap rents where you live, a mortgage costs fuck all compared to renting.

>work for the railroad, buddy makes +100k a year with a GED.
My old landlord did that before he retired. He missed that job until the day he died.

Really!? Guarenteeed?

I call BS

Get into a technical vocation. There is a high demand for technical jobs right now. Most people can't even count their balls and come up with the same number twice and college degrees are now a dime a dozen with most people studying some sort of dumb liberal arts shit that has no real world value. Hone your math skills. I have a 4 year degree, but haven't used it because I make more as an industrial maintenance technician. I make over $72k a year usually bringing home $1,000 a week. What's more is that My wages are on the low end for my vocation. There are a lot of maintenance positions that pay $100k+ a year.

I got lucky. Was a Linux hobbyist, happened to meet the right people, got a job as a junior engineer. Ten years later, making 100k/yr on a GED.

I just want to take this time to tell you how comfortable my DD-214 blanket is big sarge. Lol. No seriously though retired SFC. POG all the way.

Sound financial planning. Hope you land the right gig!

Right sell the place and lose thousands of dollars, but of course its super easy to "get a good deal" huh? What buttfuck dump of an area are you living in?

Which do you recommend?

Hey buddy hate to break it to you but sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do in order to move up in life. I worked a few mcjobs and junk for a couple years until I landed a technical apprenticeship with the government. Now on track to make 100k+ within 7 years.

foundation work as a laborer. as long as you arent a dumbass you'll make good money

>I never said I didn't want long hours or to move you dumb faggot
That reminds me. I have a friend who was pulling 250K/yr as a male prostitute until he got the AIDS. He said it was the greatest job ever. Of course he is gay but you could do the same job. In fact I hear "no experience" actually gets paid WAY more.
Sucking dick may be your path to wealth.

user isn't wrong.

Just recently bought my first house. I was SO SICK of giving money to someone else for a place to live. Granted, a good chunk of each payment each month goes to the bank for interest, but that principle is money I get back when I sell the place, probably for more than I bought it.

Rent is money that's just gone, and you never see it again.

He's not lying. I work security for a nuclear power plant and the pay is ridiculous.

It's called doing your research and waiting for the right house to come on the market. Takes a bit to find one but once you do, you're set.

Across six years it's really not job hopping. Sometimes you gotta find the right fit. No contract. GI Bill paid for school. They do pay you to sleep in the truck. It's called per diem. If you don't want to find a hotel. They pay you just enough per diem for a room and one meal.

I don't have a degree and I make 60k/year in Wisconsin (low cost of living). 5 years ago I was temp worker pulling parts in the stock room making $10/hr. Pay attention to where you work and offer good criticisms for constant improvements.

Yeah I totally agree.

Rent = money in the trash
Mortgage= money in long term CD
