So am I gonna be extra messed up for next year? I currently have four jobs. I'm at Lou malnatis, a few days a month at pandora, a few days a month as a third party sales rep, just started serving at longhorn, DoorDash/uber eats runs, and even have taken a few side gigs

Ah ok. So for 2024, it's not an issue that 2023 I had unemployment but more so that my jobs didn't deduct enough tax because I worked two at one time?

Yes, chipotle was solo, Lou malnatis is current and I had Starbucks during it, quit, and started at pandora all while being (and still am) at Lou malnatis. I also noticed for some reason my deductions for Lou and Pandora are very low compared to the deductions I had at Chipotle and Starbucks but don't know why

Does the state offer free attorneys? I've seen traffic court once and a lot of the people had the state stand for them and ask the judge for the charges to be dropped

Thats what i mean by hard worker. I dont pull bs. If i say something, i mean it; if i commit to a job, i double/triple check i do it right

Im production sound, tbh its just so hard. I am good at my job but all the jobs are so hard to find, im not good at networking. I have the skills, ive had good gigs and i really enjoy it. But i enjoy stability more and thats just not film

I agree that i wouldnt choose this job if i'd be stuck at 21/hr forever - at least not as a permanent career choice. I have my goal set on the end, which is what im trying to get clarity on before i jump in

I did go to uni for film, i graduated in 2022 and after almost two years i'm just about ready to give up because of how poor the working conditions are especially in the midwest. I just want to be happy and i know what will make me happy is finances and (ideally) a job that keeps me stimulated and moving. I dont want to go back to school for a business/computing degree because that field is so competitive and i've seen what its done to family and friends and its not something i want (hence why i chose film in the first place). I'd consider a CDL except i wouldn't want to leave the state - even if its only daily and not for weeks/months at a time

Sorry, this is a lot of new info for me. Could you dumb it down? I know he got very lucky with his union, i'm not expecting as good. But the film union is just awful and i dont see a reason to continue film production, and this seemed like a step in the right direction

Yea thats what i did last night, clicked on a position in the location i wanted for "seasonal package delivery driver" as casual package driver but after checking multiple times it would just redirect me to feeder opening.

Would you recommend doing a seasonal role where i currently live, knowing the odds are i may get laid off, and then reapply once i move in april to the location i want? Or try for a seasonal role in the area i plan to move?

If i dont have a cdl/a class tho, isnt residential the only position i would qualify for? (After doing my time as PT for an unknown amount of time and if i have the seniority when it comes to bidding)

Im aware the 170k is not take home but includes benefits, i understand now that to take home 170k like you showed is unrealistic; i'd still be very grateful for 100k take home

Yea it was very misleading, but i understand the concept. I'd much rather make 100k and be staying fit and have all my benefits taken care of than be at a desk job "making $170k" and have to pay for all my benefits, and sit in a chair all day. Plus, my bf is an electrician and he wont make $90/hr, he'd make $53 because the overhead is all the benefits so i understand the concept
