    This is a great thread, btw.
    I'm trying to figure out if working the equivalent of two 35-hour jobs per week and never seeing my kids is worth $700 a week.
    So far, I can't say it is.
    But ... it beats starving, so I'm on the fence.:biggrin_25513:

    This is why experience counts. Since I came back to Lessors I am making the money I want. Like this.

    So 700 and change a week, how long do you stay away from the house, do you have insurance paid for before that number? Paid vacation or sick time? Please dont take this as a attack im actualy curious.

    That's one week.

    I make really good money. But I have to work for it. That's my net pay, not gross, btw. You have to find your groove out here with the right company. It takes a little ingenuity and a lot of hard work. But it can be done.
     
    SheepDog, Puppage and Tracks Thank this.

    [​IMG]I saw this sign about 2 moths ago, at a shipper. It was an old company, small and I think the original owner still worked there...lol This sign was hanging on the wall in the main office.
