How much money do you make working?

Tweet

I'm working as a custodian in Washington. I hate the job, but for an entry level job it pays really good. Minimum wage here is $8.55 an hour and I make $12.25 an hour plus benefits. I also started at this wage. It's cool because I didn't have to go to college at all to get this wage and I also didn't have to go through much training. (Only about three weeks, all of which I got paid the $12.25 an hour for anyway.) I've had this job for four months now and It's nice to be making so much. I'm curious though. How much money does everyone here make exactly and what do they do? I feel luck to make so much for not even having to go to college. :) It's a sucky job, but I don't mind too much considering I make almost 50% more than minimum wage. Did you go to college to get your job? Did you have to get raises before you got to the hourly wage you're making now? Share with me. I'm curious about how much everyone else makes living where they live and how much they make doing their type of job.
