Do what you love NOT love what you do.

If you get on the FD good pay , pension, and the time to do plumbing on the side , easily reach that number.

I'd also be surprised if that pension is offered to new Troopers in Illinois , most states have added new tiers over the years , increasing length of service , cutting out OT counting towards it, eliminating colas and such.

When I came on in '90 there were two tiers and was like that for a long time, by 2,015 there are 6!

This. When working in law enforcement at the state or federal level (and some very large cities) you can make 100k or more pretty easy.

Now, it is a decent amount of money... Not Platona money but you can be smart and comfortable with your finances.

Perhaps this will help, if you are in the US.......

Here are the stats for law enforcement (sergeant and detective), as well.....although many departments are now looking for a college degree (or prior military service in lieu of)....but even those who allow for hire without a college degree, most do require such to promote.

Go into business for yourself. Without an education, being self employed or winning the lottery will give you the greatest chance of making 10K a month. Granted, I have an education but I have one client alone that pays me more than 10k a month. It's not that hard if you are willing to put in the hours.

Right AFTER you Listen, ask yourself: "is this a problem that I could solve for them?" "is this a common problem?" "what would it take to solve this problem for them?" "could I make 10k a month by helping them?"

People make 10k a month All The Time by helping people solve their problems. You don't have to be the Only one doing this, you don't have to be the biggest one doing this... just do it a little bit better, somehow. Quicker delivery, friendlier service, better quality, whatever! Only concern yourself with "cheaper" if the market commands that!

It may take a little while to get to 10k/month, but why stop there? Keep listening!

Good luck!

Great advice. I recently left a job after 20+ years and went out as a consultant. I work with application software...how to use it...and how to use it efficiently. I mainly have common sense, but after all these years working for the leading company in my industry, I have made myself available to their competitors, and they can use my general knowledge, but the kicker is that I already know how their businesses work...this is what gives me value.

ard up but appy ,,,,

ps if you find the answer i can find you a forum full of members who will follow your posts with interest ,,,,

Yeah great advice

[sparky]

(1) Be The Best Plumber.
(2) Be the hardest working plumber.
(3) Figure out how to grow and manage a team-lead by example, keep your
crew(s) laid out, in material, and in tools.
(4) Be professional with other trades and Management.
(5) Never take sides against your crew(s) or your company.
(5) Run larger projects($5mil+)-They pay more and the smaller ones are a PIA.
(6) Make them money-bring the bids in.

That's how I did it in construction industry as a sparky, but it should
transfer-$60 and hour even with a company truck is easy.

I know you are kidding.

How true.

My dear wife has besides being a rock and inspiration for me, pushed me to become more involved, work harder and complain less.

It's not my company "I own" it's "ours".

Must be those shorts.

I'd be interested in hearing you read out your original post George just so that I can fully evaluate your question.

Can you put up a vid?

[VinnieVegas]

That's 120,000 a year. Based on 50 work weeks and a forty hour week, that's $60 an hour.

There's skilled jobs that pay that much and more. Those require developing the skill and doing it very well.

You can look at paralegal work if you are in or near a major city. Those jobs pay overtime. With some experience and of you are good, you can make $120k a year and benefits.

It's not really that much. If you are smart and willing to work, you can do it. Good luck

i wish i get to paid that much hourly but im no where near that unless i get another part time job!!!

[Hollywoodvillain]

not sure what part of the US you are in but i am in the Elevator Constructors Union , and 120k a year is easily achievable in almost any major city in the US . i'm in a Small city (Syracuse NY) and there are 79 members in our local branch working for 4 major employers and i would say that 60 (about 75%) of the members of this local make over 100 K a year , not counting the additional +50k/year in benefit package above what hits the check ! some of us just break or come in just shy of 100k most years and others make 140k to 160k plus benefits . that requires a higher level of demand and knowledge and some overtime but not overly difficult if committed to learning the latest tech and being well versed in mechanical and electrical troubleshooting ! if you can scan/diagnose/and repair your own car . and do the brakes and oil changes yourself you could be trained to be an elevator constructor ! you will not get rich as you are still an employee for someone else who is getting very rich but you can live a comfortable life and have time to enjoy it !

[Stevenbrla]

Sounds like to me, you're just going to need more life experience to get this figured out.

Good luck!

Actually if you could save or get a loan or investor for capital then perhaps you could start your own company that hires out laborers. You didn't say exactly what type of labor you're doing, but someone is paying you to do the work when instead they could be paying you for the work your employees are doing.

Excellent advice. A career in sales can be enormously rewarding both financially and personally

26 years in my case with one company, love what I do. I have a college degree but it was not a requirement for the position, although it did open the door to the opportunity

i work for a small plumbing company, payment can be much higher if i can open my own company but i just started so experience is highly needed. i heard the otis elevator technician makes a $100k here in hawaii.
