<![CDATA[Do you Enjoy your Job?]]>How many people here actually like their job? What field do you work in? What do you like about it? I am currently a finish welder at Trail King in West Fargo and although I love welding, I can't see myself doing it for the rest of my life as anything more than a hobby. Getting burnt every day multiple times, waking up with knee and back pain at the age of 20, and the stress of having 3 oversee-ers yelling everytime something goes wrong is not exactly what I would like for the rest of my life. I am in the process of paying off all of my bills and then trying to find a new job, hopefully a field change completely. I can stand to work there, but I don't know how much longer I will be able to say that. I will be looking for something that pays around the same wages (15.00/hr) and something that actually requires a bit of mental input and possibly less physical stress.I am willing to do some school or training of some sort if I am confident I will like the field. I don't mind working hard, but repetative motions in akward positions are getting old. Thanks for any input or advice.

uh yea someone find me a new job... lol

It's easy as hell... Get to bs with friends and other customers... only things that suck are the pay and when u get dumbasses that come in...

only bad thing is being on call 24/7 and being away from home for a day or more.

you would tell people you were a roofer/landscaper/car salesmen/rental property office manager/carpenter/lumper/personal assistant but my dad will probbably just call you 'hey you' or 'didnt you get my f#$%@ voicemail?!' for short.

the pay sucks but the benefits aren't bad.

In other words, you are wasting time at a job you hate(unless of course its building towards something larger and the experience there can help you down the road).

Getting paid what I do (don't ask...if you don't know, I don't want you to know) with the minimal amount of college education that I have is almost unheard of...especially around here.

I design & sell commercial fire alarm systems that must meet a whole host of local, state, national and international codes (NFPA-72, NFPA-13, NEC, IBC, IFC, etc...) I started at the bottom (inspector) at a fortune 500 company making just $12/hr when I started, in 3 years I went to over $17/hr before being offered a service sales position...I did that for 4 more years before making the switch from the Fortune 500 company to an independently owned company doing essentially the same thing, with more of an emphasis on clean agent suppression systems (FM-200, Sapphire aka Novec 1230, co2, Inergen, etc..)

It is a great field to be in because you know that every system you design could potentially save someone's life.

For someone looking to get into this field and wondering what it pays....here is the average based on the two companies I have worked for:

Fire Alarm & Clean Agent techs (including inspectors) make anywhere from $12 to $25 per hour.
Project Managers make $35,000 to $40,000/year
Service Managers make around $65,000/year
District Managers/Local Managers/Sales Managers make $85,000+/year
Salesmen are either the highest or lowest paid people in the company, depending how good you are.

We are hiring entry level positions.
