What's your age and and income/job?

if you feel comfortable posting that information. I’m mostly curious since theres a stereotype about libertarians as the rich looking out for their own interests(no I dont think its true…)

Anywho I’m 24, I work at furniture store and write comics when I’m off. I make about $27,000 a year from my ‘regular’ job and another $2,000-$3,000 from comic sales(although that figure continues to grow).

26, I spy on homeowner’s for the banks. It’s a horrible depressing job I accidentally fell into before I fully understood what was going on. And none of my over 20 applications and 5 resumes I have sent out have hit yet.

I’m 29, PhD student, making grad student pay (sigh…). To get a better idea:

I’m 26 and a physical therapist, own and operate a private practice with an associate. I gross around 250k, but don’t let that fool you…

19 and starting school in September.

20 (almost 21), college student and about to become a realtor.

I’m 30 and I’m a computer engineer. I’m looking for a way to break out of the statistical average. I know I’m much smarter than all but one or two of my peers but on paper I’m just a bachelor’s + 5 years experience. Within the company, the only way to break out of the bell curve is to kiss ass and go into management. But that’s a losing game, too, in the long run.

I’m 27 in my last year of college as a finance major. My wife makes all the money

21, I work at Disneyland at the bottom of the ladder. Want discounted tickets? Haha.

Yes.

People are usually so enthusiastic until I tell them that I’ll need their credit card number to buy the voucher. Oops.

Teleperurion! I am friends with this girl Ruth who works at The Tower in Disneyland. We went to the same college at one time.

I got a BS in Mech Eng back in March. I’m 24 I think… Underemployed at this chemical manufacturing plant as an operator for ~ $13/hr.

1st year Mechanical engineering student, might end up going either co-op or MS/BS, have to wait till second semester to decide..

I highly recommend the co-op. But I don’t know what MS/BS refers to :slight_smile:

Wibee, I don’t think I know her. There are 30,000, give or take, cast members and I know less than 30.

I’m 23 and a Financial Economics major, International Economics minor. I work for UPS part-time and I make $14/hour (although I’m trying to find a different job).

MS/BS is Masters and Bachelors of Science, but I’d have to stay and extra year, its a “Fast Track” program for engineering majors- so I’d walk out of school a little less than 5 years from know with only what experience I could get in the summers, but have both a Masters and Bachelors of Mechanical Engineering. I don’t think I’d go this path as some of my scholarships will run out after 4…

but the co-op is a “3 in 4” where its 3 semseter co-op in 4 yrs of school.. something I know will be nice… help pay down some of these loans now, not later at 12 points above market…

@Wibee: You are definitely underpaid. A close friend of mine received an offer from Exxon just out of school (BS Mech Eng from Oregon State University) for $68K. Granted, this was before the market went down in flames in 08/09. I recommend you start sending your resume to companies in the petroleum industry.

That makes two of us only I have just two years experience. What field are you in?

Twenty-three and unemployed. Well, I’ve been doing freelance videography and have at least one ongoing project for the rest of the year, but I’m still looking for stable, conventional employment.

Until then, I deserve free money!
