I quit my job today!

[Addled Platypus]

another looking to quit

just cant seem to find a job that pays what I am making now

d**n economy

[Zoid]

"Damn" is not a 4 letter word...

But I guess that sometimes you have to accept a paycut if you want to get out.

[Provost Harrison]

Yeah, this is the crisis that is facing me. Well, the main problem is loss of shift allowance, not basic pay, which isn't that fantastic...and there is the alternative - a complete change of sector...

[Zoid]

If I take the job at the cemetery I´ll make something like €1540/month which is a pay cut of about €80. I´m hoping I´ll get more though. The forestry experience might get me an additional €60/month. If I just stick to lawnmoving with an indepedent contractor to the city I might go as high as €1778/month, but I don´t know if I can take just moving lawns 8 hours a day for 6 months...

[Urban Ranger]

Professional lawn mower

[Zoid]

I´m thinking of adding that to my sig if I take the job

money is not everything...

[Zoid]

True, but then again this is often said by people like you or me who hasn´t a lot of money to begin with...

No we are talking 8 hours a day.
I live far enough away to have this assignment a travel contract. which means the compay pays me a housing allownce plus a travel allowance all in which since my place is only 30 minutes away i saved and just drove the half hour into work rather then live close. I was able to get away with it cause the hospital is in another city. That and the fact that, that money was tax free. so all in all it balanced out to 1500 a week if i worked 40 hours which i did.
Hey Zoid i hear land scapers make good money good business if ya have the resurces to start.

I wish I had some way of getting such a sweet deal...

The resources aren´t the problem. The problem is that I have to go to school for 5 years at the Swedish Agricultural University to become a Landscape Architect. And I´m through studying...
