Who hates waiting...

[Dracoluna]

I waited 10 years from falling in love with bps to actually getting one. But, like you said, with age comes more money to buy nicer morphs, etc. Not to mention, I'll warn you, once you get your first, you'll find yourself browsing the net and trolling sites for more or to find local reptile shows. It's downright addictive! But at least I can afford to take proper care of them now and the racks to put more into.

Well if everything goes according to plan me and my gf will be CNAs by the end of summer and have jobs at the hospital. We should be making $10-14/hr which I make $8/hr now and but my boss is a jerk and won't give overtime even though I work 43-50 hours a week. He doesn't even pay me for the over 40 hours hours, he just rolls them to the next week and if your over 40 then too on to the next week. Its stupid. But with the CNA jobs ill have benefits, better pay, and a way in so that the hospital will pay for our schooling if we agree to work for them for said amount of years. Then either this fall or next spring we will be going for 2 years for or associates in nursing. Hopefully shortly after those years are done we will be building our big house. We will be building most of it ourselves as her dad, grandpa are carpenters, and my dad knows a bit about that too. It will have an attached 2 stall garage with an upstairs in the garage section as well which will be my man cave. Ill have the basement too if I need more space. Somewhere inbetween all this there will be a wedding and honeymoon as well. Lol. Its going to get crazy really fast so I'm hoping that will take my mind off things.

If you work it.. and he won pay, well. Sue. I hit 15 hours into OT and only.got paid for 3.. they said they would go to checks That's were smaller.. I said a few words.. And lets say.. I made a lot that week..lol.

If you're no salary And you work those hours clocked in then he HAS to pay.


And this, I know you'll take offense but you have to understand this.. there is NO way to know for sure if you'll get a job with a college degree of any kind or even if you'll get paid a lot. I went to.culinary school.. I am a AWESOME cook.. I cooked for 2 Michelin star chefs... there is never a guarantee of a good job.. I get 8.50 a hour and about 30 hours a week... better then most but for.my certification I should be.making a lot.more.. yes, "we're" needed, but why pay someone more whn you can higher someone else for.less.. sadly the way IL works..

As I said, dun take offense. I was in your shoes, so hooked on it Ans bam.. applied to my first job.. $17.50 a hour 35. A week. Didn't get it. Why? I was to qualified... our area Or expertise may be different, but understand the.moral in this long reply I just posted....

Honestly its not worth the hassle trying to get paid overtime hours. He has been doing it to everyone for over 20 years. I'm hoping to have a new job this summer anyways like I said so I can tough it out. I dont really take offense to what you said.....but its not quite a proper correlation. You don't NEED a 5 star chef to make good food for people. You do NEED to have a well educated smart nurse to help keep someone alive....hope there is no offense there....I did for the longest time what to be a chef...so.

Also again no offense, but I think the US needs more well educated nurses than 5 star chefs...just my opinion.

None taken...No need to in the US... NOW..In France Or the UK I'd take offense. I actually almost got a internship at a Restaurant in I believe it was Chelsea..? My minds slipping after a year... BUT yes... No offense..

[kevinb]

I do love fine cuisine. However in the US health care seems more important at this time. Lol.

If you get a degree to be a Nurse then yes you are guranteed a job after college. People will always get sick and need nurses. And even if we cure every disease on the planet, which i dont see happening in my lifetime, people will still get old and need to be taken care of. And people will still get hurt. And pregnant women will still need babies delivered... Lol you get my point.
Also im not trying to get your hopes up kevin but at my work, yes i know its CT, cnas make like $22 and on holidays they get double time and a half. Its a private facility so if you can find somewhere like that in NY you could really make out. I too am going to CC right now and literally cannot wait to transfer then graduate and just get a real job and my own place to start a snake room! I feel your pain bro
Why arent you allowed to have snakes now? You can have frogs but no snakes?

[kevinb]

Well Mike, both my mom and my girlfriends mom HATE snakes. I have tried every persuasion and no budge...I gave up. As for the CNA pay....that's a lot. Around here like I said it's about 10-14 an hour. I'm just using the CNA to get my foot in the door at a hospital because around here the company Lourdes and UHS will pay for all or most of your school if you sign on for the number of years you will need help paying. So essencially I could get my college all paid for.

Aww that sucks. My mom hated snakes but i sorta ignored her complaining for like a week and after that she didnt care. Shes still never held one but shes touched them at least and sorta treats them like children now lol. Reminding me to feed/ water them and such...
As for the pay, its probably bc its CT. If you get a job in a hospital usually you can work like 4 10hour days and have 3 days off. Thats pretty nice imo. Until you can get your snakes once you graduate i would focus on your dart frogs an breeding them. I know theyre not snakes but theyre still pretty cool little things.

[kevinb]

I do plan on focusing on the darts for now. My mom originally told me I could have one when I got my first 2011 male pastel, so I got a 2007 proven mojave male and she text me one night at like 11:30 (I live at my gf's house) saying they all needed to be gone by Friday (it was Wednesday night) or she was going to "take care of them for me" because I didn't tell her how big the mojave male was....bad situation so I didn't push the issue.

I hope that's how hospital hours are like, because that would be awesome!
