What's the most you ever made per hour? (spin off)

[AZTG]

I got like 5 cats into IT and got them contracting jobs using my connects.

Next step is for me to start a mini staffing firm.

I've been looking into the staffing shit too. Middle-man caking off your hourly wage unnecessarily.

I stopped trying to talk MFs into this IT shit. I mention it, but trying to put MFs on when they doubt themselves was too tiring. Kept gettin hit with that - yeah, you gotta be real good at math, etc...

That's what's up tho - glad you was able to put people on.

Man some ppl u cant blame. All thru school i would study my ass off for a math test and still end up no better than a C or D.

Then write my ass off an A on every essay/final on the spot, wrote some essays for other ppl n got em A's, even tutored one of my friends.

Numbers were just never my thing but it seems to get u farther in most higher paying careers.

Man, I could never get the numbers, but I went to Chicago State for Professional and Technical writing in the Journalism field. But they say if you good in math most people can't write and vice versa

I never got this. I've always been good at math and writing.

I have a friend that went to school for Tech Writing at Michigan Tech. Last I heard she was doing pretty well in the field. The tech writers at my engineering job were stacking, but the chicks that were tech writers when I was in security were caked for real. Two of them had their CISSP certs but got them just to understand the shit better, not to actually use it.

Yeah @"king hassan", I'll show you a link to that job when i get a chance but just check out those tech. Writer IT jobs. They damn sure aint asking you to work for free right now. Right now, documentation sucks on a lot of shit.

I second this. This is great advice. For people with any type of literary degree, if yall just add a few certifications that are concept based in software engineering, it wont be impossible to find 25-50 an hour jobs

Thanks for the info being shared in here. I make decent money supporting myself but cant see myself continuing long term and been looking to change it up. A lot of these posts are inspiring.

Oh n fuck retail!!

~$34 an hour as an entry-level Software Engineer in Denver. Money tends to stretch longer than I imagine when you grow up poor and cheap.

Too blessed to be stressed.

The bold is fact.

I know we like to think that way, but a lot of cats that came up po' tend to blow through money like it ain't shit.

Cats be spending more than they make and on the wrong thing. Some dudes would rather have a fly ride instead of a place to live. And they make 35k a year and driving a 25k car

and that's exactly the problem.

If you makin' $35K a year, you really ain't in the position to have a car note. Save about $2k and get a decent lil used joint. Grown ass man too? You need to get handy with the wrench to maintain your car to save money. I know dudes like to complain about "I ain't got time to be fuckin around under the hood of no car", but realistically what do you have to do that's more important? Definitely nothing job related on a $35K/yr gig so the chances of a cat having something to do so important they can't pick up some tools to maintain their car is slim to none. You prolly ain't got the hoes lined up daily or even every other day, so that's out of the picture. Maybe you're in school but even then there's time on the weekends.

Damn that. When I was making $33K/yr I bought a '91 4 door Escort w/5 speed stick for $1000, threw some music in that bitch and drove it to 190K miles before getting rid of it.
