Vegas yellow ordered

Not sure if I'm classed as a youngin (30), I work as a Robotic Process Automation Developer.

Yeah I was mostly talking to the 22 and 24 year olds...I couldn't have afforded a $45+k car at 23 when I got out of university and started working (defense, electronics engineering) so I was curious what they do to facilitate that. Now at 36 though it's fairly trivial with close to fourteen years in the same big organization.

Ohhhh...In the US most places you can't call yourself an engineer without a college (university) degree and since you said engineer...But again, means different things different places.

Yes I left school at 16, started an apprenticeship and finished just before I was 18.

I have a UK qualification in engineering and have had a few different careers in 6 years

That's pretty cool. That's one thing I hope we see more of in he US going forward; not everyone is suited to office or lab work that uni tends to set one up for and right now it's pretty much that or being a waiter which blows.

Hmm would offer to show you mine when it eventually gets built and arrives but you're a tad far. Sunlight definitely brings out the best side of it, getting that flake popping.

:tearsofjoy: Will put plenty of pics on here when I get it don't worry about that, still down for build 20th Feb so a little while to go.

It won't be getting washed by the dealer or in fact at all until it's detail in April so can't guarantee it'll be clean.

I dunno if I'd go that far...I wouldn't have almost tripled my salary in the time I've been working without a degree (well, two).

I didn't go to Uni, I'm the youngest on the team and earning the same as lads 10-20 years older than me who went to uni. Mind you I wouldnt say this is the norm, combination of luck and graft.

Can I ask what you guys make? If you aren't comfortable saying at all or would rather PM no worries. I'm curious.

Ok so when I graduated and started work in 2003 @ 23 I was making $47K. I make well over $100K now. And while I have no bonuses or overtime (I used to but it's much more difficult to get approved now), I do have benefits (retirement mainly) that are not included in that sum.

How old are you now? Company I work for is looking at bringing us in line with the rest of the industry as we are massively under paid compared to the rest of the market. The problem I have is there aren't any companies local that I could move to, would be looking at 200+ miles travel. Hopefully in 4-5 months I'll be on a comparable wage to yourself.

I'm 36, I've been in the same organization with a few different jobs on both sides of the US for thirteen and a half years. The job I'm in now I started end of June this past summer; I've got a team of 10+ engineers working for me now on three different main product lines.
