Official: Post a Picture of Yourself

Gib, average is less than 40 hours a week. I do work 7 days a week. I care for animals. Experience? On the job training. I knew about cats and dogs to a degree but, not nearly what I do now and that goes for the other species in my charge. Its a great job. Learning, love, laughter, pain, grief, devotion. I am damn lucky to have such employers, I know that.

Allrightythen.

Couldnā€™t find much on the internet, Kris, but according to this site youā€™re getting paid about the average.

This notwithstanding the little information Iā€™m going onā€“example: would you classify yourself as ā€œveterinary technologistā€? Are any of these figures before taxes or after? How many years experience is this average based on? Is this a national average, and if so, should we be using that as the standard or should we narrow it down to the state level or the local community?

Anyway, thereā€™s a thread for this subj, no?

Actually, animal nanny is what I would call what I do. I have had to learn veterinary information and procedures, but, while it is a big part, the main part is love and care.
I never had the formal schooling a vet tech needs, I did on the job training. I work for a family. I have had this scale of pay from the start. From cleaning bird cages twice a week for maybe a hundred to now. I have worked longer and harder for alot less . I do count education as a benefit. And that near to five is after taxes.

:slight_smile: like this thread has never been derailed beforeā€¦

Yes, in fact by yours truly: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=180515

Well, shit, thatā€™s impossible to find on the internetā€¦ and working for a family no lessā€“well, thatā€™s not gonna find its way into anyoneā€™s statistics.

But good for you anyway. Your attitude is just stellar.

gibby, your thread is about feminism and sexism, and the link you posted regards to wage gap due to employer discrimination.
I donā€™t mean to get into the merits of whether or not discrimination exists. Only the hard fact that a wage gap exists between sexes.

I have a penis and i make so much money that its embarrasing sometimes. All my girlfriends for the most part have been unemployed and made no money at all. Pure science. Guys get paid more.

Yes, I thought it would be an appropriate thread for this discussion. No?

I also started this oneā€“more to the point but fizzled out in a pathetic deathā€“not much substance worth any value Iā€™m afraid:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=180537

Oh, well, if thatā€™s all you meant, then yeah, thereā€™s a wage gapā€“a huge oneā€¦ (I think).

You bring them the Overman and they say ā€œsorry, we only accept Americans here.ā€

Maybe the overman should try being less of a dickhead :wink:

Everything has its opposite. Even whites are guilty for them being black. Every success is frustrating somehow.

Overman talk is so freshman year.

Equality of opportunity is what matters, that of course doesnā€™t guarantee the results will be equal.

Women always seem to complain how itā€™s mostly men on the top, but seem to overlook how itā€™s also mostly men at the bottom too.

Sure, most powerful people in the world are male. So are the ones with the most physically demanding, dangerous and poorly paid jobs.

lol What about the woman - who has no penis -and makes the same amount of money doing what you do?

.
You need to widen the scope of your female social circle. Why havenā€™t you?

Thatā€™s not science. Thatā€™s barely tunnel vision. :mrgreen:

Great argument. Now show me that mythical place where women are paid less for doing the same, you know, despite all of the legislation which makes it illegal. Makes you wonder why companies donā€™t just hire women and slash their wage bill. Or maybe the contribution they make isnā€™t as ā€˜equalā€™ as we are told to think it is.

shoo trollā€¦ shooo shooooo

Ah well we can now be sure to note that when you say ā€˜hard factā€™ what you mean is ā€˜intentionally misleading propagandaā€™ or perhaps ā€˜lieā€™.

Educate yourself.

Notice how the White House spokesman tries to apply the correct, unbiased standard to explain away the ā€˜pay gapā€™ in his own house but it is not permitted to apply this standard to the rest of the economy. A pay gap will always exist because women donā€™t work the hardest jobs, retire earlier, take breaks for childbirth and raising children, go into fields with less financial reward and work less hours per week. But maybe you would just prefer to believe the lie than accept that you are not near the top of your field?

That isnā€™t very nice you dopey tart.

Nobody hires illegal immigrants either, to cut wage expensesā€¦ because itā€™s illegal you know :wink:

Just pick one of the related threads and post this on there okay? I may even join if Iā€™m feeling particularly stupid.
Thereā€™s the two gib posted above, and there is this one, that even has the proper title viewtopic.php?f=1&t=186584
