No, this isn't a DOOM3 thread, this is because I used my super zombie-raising curses ability.

For building watercooled PCs, troubleshooting, driver rebuilding, OS reinstalls, and custom case graphics, what would you say that I make?

think lower.

much lower.

I make $4 an hour. With all my education and experience.

In addition, they blame my paycheck on me, tell me that my mods are seriously sub-par, and tell me that I do not know what I am talking about. And then there's the fact that Josh does no work, he leaves it all for me and then expects me to ALSO dust the shop, vacuum, clean the bathroom, etc-in 4 hours a day.

I have had it. I'm calling the competition. They all know me by name. I think my chances are good. Just remember me while I go job hunting. And consider legal action.

isn't $4 well under the required minimum?

Good luck with the job hunt and/or lawsuits.

$4 an hour?! Is that after taxes, benifits(if any)?

That is one of the reasons I do not work in the computer field. I have not found one computer job that matches my current pay yet. Unless you own your own thriving business, there is just too much competition out there for anyone to get some seriously decent wage. I've looked and looked, and the best I could find was $11.00 an hour. I would have quit already and/or sued IMHO.

They can legally pay you whatever they want as long as you are on their paperwork for training as a possible employee and not an actual employee.

BTW if your interested in staying in the computer field and want to get some education while your at it you could always join the navy hehehe. Right now if you came in as an IT, with all your experience you could probablly start out as an E-5(petty officer 2nd class) just as long as you have documentation of your degrees and job experience. Also if you came in as an IT, right now they're getting all IT's Microsoft certified. Thats one hell of a deal and its free. You would just have to sign 4 years of your life away, but at least you wont get drafted into the marines in 2005.

Dude I'm 15 and my starting wage is more than your making....dump that place soon and get a better job!

I should probably mention that my job title is "lead technician", not "trainee".

The competition is VERY eager to deal with me, I have two interviews today already...
