thx cheez

our minimum wage in CA is 6.75$

8.75$ is good for me :D ( still living with parents ) :lol:

Wow~! I thought my province had the lowest min wage in the world at 7.55!

Please...NV's minimum wage is still at the Federal minimum wage rate of $5.15.

They recently tried to pass a bill to raise it. Big business (i.e. Casinos) wouldn't hear of it even though the cost of living has increased a lot since the $5.15 value was introduced.

If this state could have it's way, they bring back child labor.

:o

Alot of states are low, most are at 5.15!

Kansas is at 2.65 jesus!

I love how they don't pay their techs anything but they charge high amounts for the services rendered.
Geek Squad has been great for me. Side jobs at half the price they charge and I'm making good side income.

Most computer shops around here are paying their techs $11/hr - which is generally what you'd expect to get if you had your A+ cert.

Just don't screw people over.. and a hint of advice: Print off some business cards, hand them off to people when you do service for them. Take up side jobs, keep it hush-hus and you'll be making out even better.

i will consider that

im also working on getting my A+ certification

geek squad said they would pay me more if i did so.

:D

i think this is a great first job for me

Yeah.. the A+ is fairly easy. If you need help, www.testking.com is definately worth the amount of the test preps.

Being that you're what? 28? or 32? Its about time you got a job, bum. :twisted:

Your dead to me....... :lol:

Honestly kid, try to NOT be the norm for them, even the norm for most "computer shops". Which half the folkes have A+ certs but go on the basis of " The more RAM the better". *No joke actually...I took a gander at this shop near my home that opened....freaking joke*

Think about it.....you just might be able to give them a better rep...someday..............nah, doubt it :lol: :lol: :lol:

Congratulations Gregory! (or is that Greg?) :wink: :P

Mate, you're doing better than me. I started my first gig as a 13 year old in the grocery store as a packer. I was notorious for cutting too much off the lettuce before putting it on the shelves...(brings back some odd memories, actually).

Now that's a car, not some stinkin' Yaris. :twisted:


1. Escalade is ugly as hell.
2. Those rims are likely worth more than my vehicle, dumb purchase.
3. Escalade won't even fit into many garages out there.

2007 Escalade starting at $55,000... What a waste. Buy a real truck and throw the extra $25,000 into some home improvements (plasma TV, boomin stereo, some blonde Sheilas for company, etc)

They're a waste of money. That thing isn't even worth half its price.

Vehicles are the worst investment and people keep going out and buying these things. For that amount of money I would have bought a nice sporty car..

Assuming that would be your ghetto looking car, you're probably the only person in it.. and when people look at you funny, you think they're looking at you admiring.

Nah, we're thinking you had all that money invested into a car.. but probably live at home with the parents.. all flash and nothing else. :wink:

Personally, I like the people who go out dressed in all nice clothes, have that $400 watch, etc.. have a $100 in their pocket and nothing else to their name. Makes me laugh.. all show.

Escalades.. ugly and over rated.

The top and bottom one together would be about $60K, I'd much rather have both of those than an Escalade.

:P

I despise the day The Fast and Furious came out.

Now I see a bunch of retards cruising around in cars with mufflers that sound like a fricking girl screaming. The cars sound like crap, they think its cool.

Spoiler on a front wheel drive car? Excellent addition, focking 'tard.

Wusy, the Skyline is coming to the U.S. but expect to pay well over $70,000 for it.

prozac26 the Escalade is a waste of money.

@CHEEZball, is that you?

Tires look good on that one.. give her a wax'in, test out those headlights, and give her a full body polishing and she'd be a beauty.

Oh yeah, Cheez is alright too. :P

Don't forget a lube job.

Oh yeah, good old lube job, check the oil just to make sure. Tires look good, but don't be afraid to kick 'em a few times.
