Got into a commision paid job about 4 years ago and love it. I will never work under another pay set-up in my life. I can't imagine getting the same check every week. Must be the gambler in me. How do you guys/girls get paid and do you like your job. I bet the commision paid people are genrally more happier.

I used to do piecework construction when younger, I liked that... get paid for what you get done, and have flexibility.

Union SHIT treats everybody equal and rewards slackers and seniority. Not a shot at Randy, but I don't like environment at union shops, been in several unions.

Commission is like piece-work.

I'd only work for pay in latinum, now !

No OT pay? Sure there is, make another sale!

I am on 100% commission. Have NEVER had a job (as an adult) where at leasr part of my money wasnt' comm. Soon I will be getting paid comm off other people's efforts (that's a way to get rich!)

Sherm: I don't think Dante gets commission, not all things are sales. When at the USPS a lowly mailhandler ( grunt unloading trucks, etc.) can make more $$$ annually than a postmaster when working insane OT.

Some baggage handlers make more than pilots, etc.

my job is set-up like a pyrmid and I get a cut of 12 guys underneath me. It can really add up fast.

that was my point doug.....he said he like hourly because over OT, but to me you can just make another sale and get paid "over time".....

besides, would you rather make $25/hr w/ the chance for OT or $100K salary....

sure the mail handler can make alot, but they are at work every breathing minute...not how i like to live my life, ya know?

Guys it all depends how large your salary is........I like knowing how much I will make every year and then with my bonus's I can give myself the added bust if I do well............G

How secure is Randy's $27/ hour ? If the plant relocates to India, can Randy work at a competitor for close to the old money ? I don't know his educational background.

At least a guy that's a plumber, carpenter ,etc., can get another job, not sure how easily Randy can re-invent his life should something happen to the job.

Jobs like that are getting moved out of US all the time ! Good move to think of early retirement, Randy ! Plan ahead !
