No. It's easy. Not enough.

Half my job is giving ridiculous presentations to people making $500-700K a year over crap that they shouldn't have to pay me to do.

Asking questions like what exactly do you want the contractor to do for you?

Yes. I am a Supervisor at the DMV.

Myself and my team get to work at our own pace. There is no pressure for us to overextend ourselves because customers can always just come back the next day.

Additionally, when someone is sarcastic or has an attitude with me, I can change a few things "accidentally" on a computer that will result in them being arrested for a variety of reasons (expired license) if they are ever pulled over.

I make $45,000 a year in salary and close to twice that in cash tips to help people who need things "expedited" or "deleted/revised from their record".

Most of the time
Finance
Enough, but there's no point in disclosing, since most people are honest about what they actually do or make /s

My SSN does begin with a "5", in case you are wondering that too.

Assuming the switch is already underway? I've been in financial services consulting my whole career, specifically focused on banking, insurance and capital markets strategy now, but happy to help if you have any questions

No

Admin of message board. The clown and poultry in charge is ok though.

Pay is pretty good and the benefits from the company yacht and private islands are nice.

Yes, I like my job and make a comfortable living. I work in government so there are some negatives to it, but hard to beat the benefits.

Industrial Construction. Don't dislike it but love the folks I work with and the environment I'm in. I'm treated really well.

I make more than enough to be happy with.

- Sometimes. Hate being away from home.

- Senior Drilling Fluid Engineer. We are part of drilling three to six mile deep wells to keep gas in your car and heat in your home. Having three weeks off is nice.

- I make enough to hopefully retire at 55.
