After taxes, I bring home about a grand a week. Sometimes more. Sometime, less. Doesn't seem like much, I know. But when you consider that most people in my town don't even make $300 a week, then I'm doing okay. Best of all, my bills for an entire month (Satellite, electricity, water, internet, home, car payment, cell phone, home phone) don't even take up a full paycheck. The cost of a nice home, land, etc. is pretty low, too. You can own a house here for a fraction of the cost it would be eighty miles from here. I live almost in the mid point between Savannah Georgia and Augusta Georgia.

As for what I do for a living, I "work" at a nuclear power plant. We train constantly to defend against an outside threat. If the time comes, we'll kill the adversary with extreme prejudice. In the meantime, I spend about 80% of my time trying to keep myself busy. I won't admit it but maybe comic books, Netflix, internet browsing, PSV/3DS, and other things of that nature occupy a lot of my time. Not bad considering I've never been to college.

I was blown away after I saw what kind of people do this job in the UK. We had 30 people working in Hamburg and 28 of them finished university.


Ya big deal. Everyone in Germany has a degree. I met some of the most stupid people with Master's degrees there. The Professors in the humanitarian sciences (it's mostly a load of nonsense anyway) desperately want students just to keep the funding going. It's a sham.

 

Congrats anyway. And nice salary ;)

?

12% in Germany do have a degree. That is not everyone. I don't want to brag about it, but it is not the norm.


*rolls eyes*

Oh please. Those statistics are distorted. Your sample space should only be the 25 - 35 year bracket.

Of course the percentage is much lower for old people. And sure, not everyone has a degree, but practically every single person I met when I was there had a degree. Well, except for my cousin-in-law who's a Lufthansa pilot (no idea how that pot smoker managed that).

*googles even though lazy...picks first hit...*

''on an international basis Germany is in the top group. With regard to doctoral students as well Germany is in a top position''

You see.

U mad bro? Jealousy is bad my friend...

Anyway congrats to Dirty, with that salary you're going to live like a king in Germany :)


Why would I be jealous? I've got a degree in Theoretical Physics, another in Accelerator and Nuclear Science and am doing my Master's in Nuclear Physics. I'm also on a freeride scholarship with pocket money and get paid as a part time lecturer.

If anything, he's jealous of me. I'm from Cape Town you see, and every German that exists apparantly wants to come live here. I have no idea why, but there are Germans everywhere. (not serious here)

The above two points aside, 

I married a German lady and my experience that the majority of young people from Germany undergo tertiary education is based on that. Her entire family. All her friends. Her cousins and their friends. All the young people I met in Berlin. The THOUSANDS of Germans who constantly pour into Cape Town... etc. all

Apart from that, I congratulated him on the nice salary. I don't see how you could label me as jealous.

WHAT? I freaking hate South Africa!

Well the country might be beautiful, but crime, townships, racism (I know...) etc. just totally killed any interest I ever had. And if that's not enough, you ruined the world cup for me with your freaking vuvuzelas.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Ah, you know, I only make around 50'000 a week. Not much.

Congrats on the job

I'm a (professional) perception researcher at a university. Currently contracted doing studies on a Russian Mnemonic (A person who can recall almost everything they have ever heard, there are about 10 left in the world so we are working very hard as this ones time is very expensive) to follow up on a previous study linking the amount of brain functionality when viewing a piece of art (or story or even game) directly to background knowledge. Hard to explain in a sentence, but hope that gives an idea

salary is not great, $30k for 4 months work, But I'm a trust fund baby anyway so dont have to work (and only normally work every other year). Its good because it means I only ever have to work jobs that are intersting enogh to justify my involvement and keep me from getting bored of the slacker life (not to sound like a total poor little rich girl or anything)
