I have got a new job! / What is your job and how much money do you make?

[Euphoria14]

I work in the Aerospace Industry in Production Control, basically the middle man between my company and the big boys of Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Sikorsky and many other small-mid sized players. I am heavily leaned upon and it can get quite frustrating but I would say I pretty well compensated. As of last year we also became only the 10th supplier in the world to achieve "Supplier Gold" status for Sikorsky. In my time here (~3 years) I have also seen the company stock rise from ~$3.25/share to it's current ~$14/share.

I make ~50k/year and have wonderful hours of 7am-3:30pm, meaning I work 37.5 hours/week yet I get paid for 40 (1 hour lunch and a 15 minute break).

I would normally care more, but my lady is the bread winner in the house.

I am also the 2nd youngest in my department at 27 years old and have no college eductation. My job does help with schooling though if it is for a spot within the company, so I may look into student aid in Engineering when I hit my pay ceiling.
