Love my job. 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.

And just remember, if you really actually hate your job, leave before no other job pays comparable for your experience(mostly lack there of). 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).

I love my job.

I love my job...workin at Thunder Road. its prolly the easiest job ive ever had lol. I get paid to watch go carts go in circles for hours and get to ride them on slow days....so pretty much my job is the shit

dont bother me.
done by 4 and got weekends off. no more i can really ask.

if you dont mind being on call 24/7/365 you can have my job.. at least your never bored.
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.

I love my job, work with someone new everyday, get to travel, have anyday you want off, lots of paid PL and vacation, great benefits, and great pay, plus i just got a 27% raise.
only bad thing is being on call 24/7 and being away from home for a day or more.

I like my job, the guys I work with are great and I'm pretty good at what I do. That said I don't get paid dick, but the benefits are awesome.

i love my job but i hate it at the same time. i work with 16 one year olds in a small room with 4 other girls in a building of 250+ children with 35 other all-girl employees.. it's a big ball of screaming children and drama queens. my kids are amazing but it gets to be unbearable when you have children that scream just cuz they think it's fun. i get paid next to nothing even after working there for 3 years but honestly there is no where else that i could get the flexibility and scheduling that i get now. most people think daycare is a piece of cake but i would loooove to see any one that says that to go just one day doing my job. it requires more patience and understanding than i ever even thought i had, but until i finish my crim justice degree it's about all i'll be doing.
uh yea someone find me a new job... lol
