Ok i need you guys to check my math.
I make $9 an hour and time&half when i work more than 8 hours a day. I work 24 hours normal time and 5 hour on time&half.
So thats $283.50 a week, there are 52 weeks in a year, so that $14,742. Now mind you this is not counting any tax or anything like that. But still thats seems damn good for a parttime job I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver

Opinions are like a-holes everyone has one, the only one that does you any good is yours and all that comes out is shit

That is good, but are you actually going to work 52 weeks per year without taking ANY of it off.
Then you need to take your taxes and SS out, but you should get some back in taxes. JumpinDuo.com...come and sign the guestbook.

A general rules is to take your hourly wage and multiply by 2000 - as you will take some time off for holidays, etc.
Not bad for a part time gig while in school. Not great, but not bad.

2000 * $9 an hour is $18,000
I think Viking's calculations are closer....

work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like nobodys watching.

Two thousand hours is 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year. This assumes you take two weeks off.
2000 hours is the standard calculation.

Bill Von made $15,000 just reading his post. Seriously though, he said somewhere that he made about $15k skydiving last year. Just take out a huge loan from the bank to cover training/jumps/gear and you can make at least that skydiving.

Standard business practice is to use 2080 hours for a full time person. This assumes they will be paid for a two week vacation. You did right just multiplying your hours, just figure out what Uncle Sam gets (Probably 17 to 25% depending on your W-2) and you know how much you make.

Maybe you can get adopted by the Christian Children's Fund or get your picture on a rice bowl or something? For just 49 cents per month we can keep you in rice and medicine.
Skydivers...they're just plain cool!
