Firstly sorry if there is already a thread on this subject if so please remove this one.

Secondly I don’t want this to become a pissing contest, it’s ok to be proud but be humble we all have different stories and circumstances.

With that said what do you guys do for a living and how much money do you make?

 

Guess I’ll start since I asked the question =)

Current occupation: IT Business Analyst
Income before taxes: Around 38 000USD/Year

 

Current Profession; Entry Level Programmer
Income before taxes: $45,000 USD

so what warranted this thread anyway, was it just curiosity?

 

I currently work as an art handler/ independent contractor for a contemporary art museum. It's 15 an hour. I'm looking for other art museum / gallery jobs, either art handling or preferably full time education.

 

Just curious really, toy collecting in general is a privileged money eating hobby and I thought it would be interesting to know what people do for a living in order to maintain the hobby.

 

Work.
Not as much as I'd like.

 

Federal Senior Legal Analyst/Tech - Case intake manager

$75,000 pre-tax

 

Technical Support for an ISP. After doing it for 9 years, I make about 43K a year. I'm studying for my Bachelor's in Networking also. Working to be a Network Engineer.

 

i had a job at a restaurant. $20,000.

i saved most of my money in the years i've worked.

 

Security dispatcher

26,000ish annually

 

IT guy.

Currently glorified Geek Squad at the moment making around $67K (before taxes) but will be taking a slight pay cut (especially since the Yen gained strength against the USD recently... thank you, Abe  ) to move to and live in Japan and work on server administration (which is what I actually trained for originally). I think it'll be worth it since, well, because Japan.

Money can buy you a lot of things (like toy robots  ) but it's no guarantee it'll buy you happiness though.

 

Freelance translator (only one client - my former employer) / $52,000 CAD

 

I'm an engine research and development engineer, focusing on spark ignited combustion research. $86k/yr

 

You don't wanna know...  

 

I'm a nursing assistant and I make about 56K per year, but cost of single living, and education debt keeps me on a really tight budget. Some day I hope to make enough to live how I want.

Well since I get paid guess I'll share  

Job-YouTuber
Salary-assuming I get 1100 views a month about $20 a year  

Thankfully I'm only 13.

 

That last sentence is very true. Can I sig it?

 

Sure thing!

 

I work part-time as well at my local supermarket. I don't know how much I make in a year but it's not much. And as I mentioned in several Third-Party discussion threads I also live with my parents so I'm unfortunately unable to buy many of the figures I see on here, especially the high-end Third-Party, Masterpiece and/or box set collection figures.

Again, as I've said before: Being broke sucks.
