Work questions.

[Imaginary Friend]

So does anyone in here work at a retail store or just has a job that has something to do with computers/tech.

 

What did you go through to get that job and about how much do you make/hour?

 

thanks!

anywhere between $12/hr to $20/hr depending on if you get commission or not.

they hire anyone with half a brain and can speak english in an understandable way, does not have a physical malfunction of any type and also have a social insurance number for employment purposes and insurance reasons, and no criminal charges

I'm a Software Engineer and have worked in many areas of the industry including hardware and robotics.

That is an immature and inflammatory question. In general if one is contracting, freelancing and/or consulting then a modest expectancy would be around £400 at the lower end to well in excess of £1K at the higher end depending on experience and location/travel. Own a business/consultancy and expect that to raise significantly.

I know it's an immature question but i like to do some planning before i get a job. For example there's a store close to where i live and people who work there make about 15€-20€/hour which is good i guess?

I don't know the euro economy that well but £20 per hour would likely be considered by most to be a decent wage. Just don't expect to be able to purchase a house or a decent car on that in any short amount of time.

 

You seem to be rather fixated on this 'store'. It takes a special kind of person to be able to stomach working in retail let alone thrive in that industry.
