I just started an airplane manufacturing job a couple weeks ago, and I'm working about 70 hours a week right now. The pay is good, but the lack of time that isn't spent working or sleeping kinda sucks.

So I'm curious, what do you guys do for a living, and how much do you work?

40 hours, starting this week. Plus the between 10 and 30 hours per week I put in on a side project (which makes me a little money), plus now my friends have suckered me into ANOTHER project which currently is taking up about 3-4 hours per week, but will soon start taking more.

Basically I work from the time I get up until the time I go to sleep, with blogging and trolling message boards mixed in there. Luckily I have a laptop and am a database/web developer so it's easy for me to move around and do work at the same time.

Lucky you. I always wanted to be a pilot but then my eyesight went bad.

lol Ironically, I've never even flown in any plane, or even been in a completed one where I work. :p

That sucks. I'm at least getting paid well. And the time and a half and double time overtime is very nice.

Hi there. I'm not 18 yet so I'm just browsing but I'm curious- is just over $5 an hour legal?

It's currently $5.25 minimum wage in many states, including mine. It's going up to $5.85 soon, and more each of the next 2 or 3 years. And servers' minimum wage is currently $2.13 because it's expected that they'll make more in tips.

It is if you are in the military.

He works in Iraq pretty much any time he isn't sleeping and if you figure it all out vs. his monthly pay he's probably making $5 or even less.

I work 40 hours a week in general.

37 hours a week, $7 an hour. Work my butt off and we are overworked, underpayed, and waaay understaffed! They need to hire new ppl baad!!

But it's better than the last job I had at a factory! That place was kinda the pits, but I've been in worse. Once worked with a turkey artificial insemination crew..way nasty job and half the ppl I worked with couldn't even speak English!
