What cheered you up today?

[Pisis]

YEAH! I went to a job interview today, they've accepted me, so now I'm working for an American company - my salary is very high for a local standard and for the small amount of work I do... Also I have another benefits, hehehehe.

Today I just started my business career - and all of that just thanks to my good English skills and still without even being graduated from the High School... LMAO.

great work? salaries here suck, junior pilots in our national carrier get only $1000 a month

 

[Pisis]

Thanks everyone! 8)
Well actually I don't get that much per Month, Looma, but still I get enough for a student's salary. Not every student here gets that much... On the top of it, I was asked to do some translation, which will raise the current lavel of my account, hehehe.

 

[plan_D]

Surely $1,000 a month is a high wage in the Phillipines. The average British wage is £22,000 a year, which is around $37,000 USD. But you have to take into account that our cost of living is much higher than in America so relative our wages are no much higher than American wages. Although, I do like to confuse and upset some of my American friends when I tell them I'm on around $14 a hour. Which is true (£7.20 a hour for ten hours, £8.50 up to 40 hours, and if I work over 40, every hour is £9.60) , but relative to British cost of living it's no better than being on $7 a hour in America.

Anyway, what I'm saying is, the cost of living in the Phillipines must be low. So, a wage of $1,000 USD in the Phillipines must be around £2,000 - £3,000 in Great Britain, relative to cost of living.

 

[Pisis]

OK, I'll tell. It is $1,500 for 3 Months + bonuses + benefits on public transportation cellphone bill. That's it. Another $200 I'll get for that translation. 8)

England beating Pakistan in the 3rd Test and wrapping up the series...

 

[Pisis]

...so, what's the current score? 2-1 for P?

 

[Gnomey]

2-0 England with one test to play...

 

[cheddar cheese]

Hell yeah, England are playing brilliantly this series...Pakistan dont half get themselves in to some hilarious run-outs though

 

[Gnomey]

They seem a bit suicidal on their running Inzi falling over his own stumps was funny as well.

Holiday tomorrow

 

[102first_hussars]

I took the weekend off and went to Birch Lake Saskatchewan, I got pretty pissed, it was a dark night and I tripped and fell in between a boat trailer.

Yeah, Plan_D is right.

For example, in my security company, we are paid $12.55 CND an hour. If you do your 40 hours a week, you get $2008.00 CND a month...

Now, knowing that Federal gouvernment and Provincial gouvernment and Union take approximately 50% of my pay check, it leaves me with a tiny little $1004.00 CND a month. Which makes (actually) exactly $896.11 USD a month. Yikes !

But that's approximately the average salary in Québec.

 

[loomaluftwaffe]

yes cost of living here is very low, in some cases you can live on $20 a week
but the management sucks and you never really get rich here

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

heading out onto dartmoor for two days tomorrow.........
