Just wondering what does everyone here do for a living where do you get all that cash for SR swaps and turbo kits? I work customer service and it would take me forever to save. Maybe around 1 year.

I am obviously in the IT department, and my starting pay is $21.18/hr !!! but I'm only working 32 hrs a week right now, and I am still a student, so when my classes start up again in april I might not be able to work as many hours... all i know is that I got a $837 check from working 2 24hr weeks.. and thats better than 2 40 hour weeks at Home Depot and making $590 lol...
I hope this job works out, if i get full time, me and my family (when me and fiance get married) get good benifits, fully paid! ;) )

Last job I had was working residential construction at $10 hr for a shitty boss who wouldn't pay me overtime, but he'd make me work it. So when I started thinking about the snow coming, I left that job in the dust for this one, and I've never been happier.
Plus I get access to a complete shop of drill presses, lathes, CNC machines...etc. I hope to start making some trick chassis parts soon!

I took this job at a discounted rate since its 15 minutes from my house and I hate waking up and I hate driving long distances. Most engineers make more than me but its ok I have a chill work environment and short drive and both of those aspects are most important.
