I'm not earning Megabucks, but not a Wagie Slave either.
I earn 57.4k a year in dollars before tax and work as an electronic engineer.
It's enough, but I still find I spend most of it on rent and stuff like that.
It's not that difficult to find jobs - look at apprenticeships, they often require little high level qualifications or much experience and will give you useful experience and knowledge.
It is not true money is the key to getting women. I'm not fat or disabled or too ugly but I still don't have women crawling over me.

hahaha oh wow
wagecucks - when will they learn?
I'm /wellpaid/ ($70k a year) but still a depressed, virgin loser.
>>28578127
would you rather be a depressed virgin loser that makes 5k a year?
>>28577942
>57.4k a year
>enough to get women attracted to you
come on anon, you can't be that naive. that's barely above median salary. women only want above the 90 percentile
and save that cash so you can retire early. it's definitely worth it, especially if you have no friends so money isn't necessary
>>28577942

I make 28k a year (before taxes) which is way above average in Germany.
Working in a bank so I'm probably a wage cvck

Women would sleep with Tyrone that had no job, didn't graduate from high school, lives at home and smokes weed all day, and lives off of welfare. They don't like you because you're either white or Asian.

Assuming he's living in the US, it's above the median personal income, so I'd say that's well-paid.
>>28578263
In my city he could apply for low income housing

That's above average? I am making 45k, and I'm just wageslaving.

It's really not.

NYC? San Francisco? Those are total outliers.

Maybe it'll get better, but like a wise man said, never serve one master for too long.
If they won't raise my salary I'll just move on to something better while cashing out union benefits (almost the same as my salary) or start my own business while I'm working my job and quit after it catches wind.
>>28578345
>>28578395
Average income in Germany is 1,8k
But I would NOT expect fucking robots to know about that.
>>28578345
45k in Germany is Pilot or Doctor tier.
>>28578442
It's really not. We are talking about before tax here.

After your apprenticeship what did you?
I'm doing one at the minute and have no idea what to do after it finishes?
plz help I want a high paying job
>>28578442
>>28578434
>>28578227
average in germany (before taxes) is like 47k
>>28578401
I live between both. Still outside of Middle America that's an average income.
Really anything below 80k after taxes seems average but I'm a city person.
>>28578448
That's a given..
>>28578484
Why are you talking out of your ass? Making 47k a year means you are way above middle class..
>>28578055

>>28578484
It's 32.643 Euro. That's the official median income for 2015.
>>28577942
>before tax
What does that make after tax? 40k a year? How much of it can you save in a year?
>>28578523
>can you save in a year?
I make 45k a year before tax and 34k after taxes. I can save 20k if I live sparsely.
>>28577942
I earn about 80k a year, Automotive workshop foreman. (aus)
I live in a rental with my two dogs. Life sometimes sucks
but, you gets that.
Money may not be able to buy you women, but it can
buy you a Harley. And that's like just as good.
Buy a bike anon, your dreams will follow.

I make 30k as a programmer in Spain, which is decently above average. That said, actually cultured, educated people don't make that much here.
The people making a lot of money (aside from politicians, bankers, CEOs and such), are guys who have a car repair, plumbers, and other self-employed blue collar jobs who rob you blind for their services, pay and recieve their deals under the table, and do all sort of creative accounting to avoid taxes. That, or nouveau rich country bumpkins who have inherited some lands (that 2 generations ago would have been worth nothing), so they suddenly start showing off with their BMWs thinking they're some sort of elite upperclassmen.
In short, most of the actual wealthy people I know are not of the intelligent, ruthless businessman/lawyer/career-focused engineer type, but simply picaresque, uneducated people who thrive because of amorality and a sort of refined street-smarts.

Bet you still have lunch with mommy everyday.
It's all about social status.
You can have all the money you want and be ripped like Greek god but if you are autistic none of that matters.
Invest in therapy.
40k a year here.
Seems decent but housing is expensive in FL and I want to have a kid one day. Will it be enough?
I make 100k a year as an entry-level software developer outside of Boston. I have a GF, but I met her when I was a poor grad student studying math.
$120-130k/yr, I'm self-employed (consulting), it took me about 5 years to get there with some breaks.
It's wage slave lite because I can't blow off clients and meetings completely, but if I want to get a massage and train in the middle of the day, or go to a different city for a week, I can.
OP here - just for clarification - I live in the UK and make 40k GDP. I live outside of London and that is very well paid for how young I am (19) and the qualifications I have.
>>28578967
>40k/year at 19
Wew, as a fellow 19 year old bong I'm impressed. Currently studying applied science and wageslaving at McDonald's myself. How did you career path go?

That's how much I make at my internship...

>>28577942
I wish this was a meme. I changed majors to become an engineer (fresh chemE graduate, getting job offers around a similar pay as yours) and I have not had sex since I went to school for it. Women don't really like engineers unless youre in that six figure range.They must find us vapid or something it's a red flag unless were buying nice shit.
I'm 6'2" and not fat. I had six sexual partners after losing my virginity at 18 years old in 2 years. It's been 2.5 years now since I've had my 7" dick touched.

If it were the other way around I could save up and move to the country when I retire and live like a king.
>>28580262
1) Get a marketable skill
2) Find a job in 'the civilized world' making use of that skill
3) Get paid enough to live in a non-rural area
Congratulations.
>>28580156
it's not a high cost of living area
as far as "casual loading" (whatever that means), i pretty much just jerk off at work all day, doesn't get more casual than that
>company falls for the big data meme
>hires me as a data analyst for $80k/yr
>no one asks for anything

>>28580298
A internship would be considered casual work, so you wouldn't get holiday pay or sick leave. In return for not getting these, you get a 20-25% casual loading
>>28577942
I'm 24 going on 25. I've worked and either quit or got fired from 10 minimum wage jobs. I have no degree because I said fuck it and failed out of community college. I havnt had a dollar since February. Feels bretty good.
>>28580071
This retard posts in /britfeel/ too, and he's lying out his ass there as well, how much he earns seems to change month to month.
No mate, an unqualified 19 year old would not earn 40k, it just doesn't happen. The closest I know is perhaps my friend who studies accounting and earns 20k / year age 19. It just doesn't make any sense, no one would be brain damaged enough to pay a 19 year old that much. You've got to realise 22 / 23 year old investment bankers with 4 year degrees from ICL or Cambridge start at around 43k / year to work 70 hours a week.

I've never had more than two interviews before getting an offer. I'm not even that great at what I do. If you can't find a job you're doing something that's very fixable wrong.

I make $85k, live with my girlfriend in one of the best cities in the US, and I'm still unhappy. It doesn't get better.
>>28578243
I can maybe agree with the idea that being asian would hinder your chances with western women but come on, being white puts you at a definite advantage my dude.
I'm going to make 160k a year once I go into big law after law school bitches
>>28581378
Lol wtf is a best city? Your city has all the same costcos and walmarts and ethnic culture as any where else the only difference is that you are paying a premium. Move somewhere with LCOL, save at least 50% of your after tax income, and retire early
who /88kbeforetax/ here?
>>28577942
60k base here, although if you onclude soft compensation like bonus, 401k match and health insurance paid, its closer to 70k. I started 9 months ago and it was my first real job. Should be getting a raise in the next few months.
I'm only saving about 750-1000 per month though. While my loser friends are saving more at their easy minimum wage jobs because they live with parents and have no expenses. So its a wash I guess
>>28577942
I make $40k/yr doing level one hell desk for hospital employees. My job pays better than most help desk in the area, which pays like $12-14/hr, while I get $19/hr with yearly raises.
>>28581626
Best cities are places where the quantifiable standard of living is highest.
You can't really find jobs in my field in places where you live on potatoes senpai

So, what kind of work does an electrical engineer do?
>>28582080
designs, installs, repairs, runs checks, maintains electrical stuff.
>>28578442
Can disprove that. I'm a co-pilot and I earn 127k
I earn about 120k a year as a programmer. I'm also a fallen wizard. I used up my mana to be in a relationship with a succubus for 3 months. But it was worth it.

Huh. I work as an EE in Canads and make $75k. But I am an EIT so hopefully my alary should go up once I get P.Eng status. Are you an EE or an engineering technician? I couldn't tell after you said to look at apprenticeships.
>>28582257
> Bad troll
> doesn't disprove it at all
Maybe if we are talking among people with University degrees, but you are literally delusional if you believe that the average person in this country makes more than 2k
>>28577942
Where do you live? That's pretty low for a EE.
50k$/year in Russia
Picrelated cuz a dinner in a posh place will cost you like 30-40 $ tops, brunch ~15 tops, 1-room flat in the center of Moscow is like 800$
Thanks based ruble/USD rate, before this country fucked up i was sucking dicks, everything was twice as expensive
Oh well, I still suck now and dont have a gf, but who cares
I make approx $54k as a social worker/psychologist at a juvy, which I think is okay. But my family has money so it's not really a concern regardless.
