Tell me about your job & wages.

Ok someone did this on another forum I am on, so thought it would be interesting to do it here, considering the worldwide spread of people we have on this wonderful forum.

The poll is not viewable by anyone, so no one will know what you posted, but interested to see what the spread of wages people are on.

Also post your age, job title, and a description of what you do. I bet there are some really interesting jobs on here, I always love to hear the Americans jobs, they always sound so intelligent when they speak compared to the English :)

So I guess I should start....

Age: 25

Job Title: Business Analyst

Description: A business analyst or "BA" is responsible for analyzing the business needs of their clients and stakeholders to help identify business problems and propose solutions. Within the systems development life cycle domain, the business analyst typically performs a liaison function between the business side of a company and the information technology department or external service providers.

Damn just thought, if I go first you will know what I am on :lol:

Think I will hold off voting lol - Maybe that bit should go ha-ha

Age: 17

Job: Food analyst and food retriever.

Descriptio: I'm a waitor on minimum wage. I get £5.35 an hour plus tips. All I do is ask people what they want, give it to them and then take away the plates.

You in college or anything?

Yeah 6th form, oh and I earn £5.35 an hour plus tips, as well as free gym and leisure membership and half price at all hotels and resteraunts of the same name.

I don't mean this to sound patronising but when I was 17 I was earning about £2.70 an hour, then I changed to a job which paid £80 a fortnight!!!

Tipping the scales the other direction a bit. I work as a programmer and make a good wage. But I'm 43, so I've paid my dues. :seeker:

Programming, nice! What do you program?

I work part time at my university's study abroad office. After two raises, I only get paid $9/hour. :rolleyes: And they expect so much out of us, too, as if that money is any incentive. Good thing my boss is such an amazing person.

I have the same problem, I would have liked a lot more money, and would have left if it wasn't for the fact my boss is awesome! Although he has just been made a director now, so I got a new boss, time for a new job me thinks :)

My company contracts me to a government agency where I do web application work. At the moment I'm working in ColdFusion with MS SQL Server.

Nice one, do you enjoy it? Although not generally within my remit, I have to hack certain SQL within our DB2 database to produce MI from Business Objects. A painful task, but was fun learning it. Our systems are not quite upto scratch so have some manual intervention to get results.

I do like it. The people are great, and I get a lot of freedom in how I perform my job. Of course there are boring days, but for the most part, I love it.
