since i'm about to graduate highschool and looking at my part-time job i might just grab a computer hardware engineering degree and maybe get a masters in business management if thats possible =P. i already secured my part-time job and i'd be able to become a regular after highschool. and if i manage to finish collage then maybe i would have taken over the department hahaha, not guaranteed tho.
bah thinking too far ahead messes up the path.

An American should correct me on this, but I doubt these include taxes. So no, no 3.9/month for you. If you're European, 3.9 would mean roughly 2.2-2.5 a month, for americans it's probably nearer to 3, with you being taxed like it's the 18th century and all.
Goddamnit, I can't recognise numbers anymore. Still it wouldn't be 8.2 grand a month either. Even with american taxes, you're looking 5.5-6 or so at the very best.

Yep, when you see salaries quoted anywhere for jobs in the U.S., it's gross salary, before any deductions. I live in a state without an income tax, and when you factor in various federal taxes, plus contributions to my 401k, and deductions for my health insurance and whatever the hell else they take out of it, I keep about 71% of my gross pay at the end of each pay period.
Also keep in mind that the cost of living in the U.S. can vary dramatically depending on what state you live in, so salaries vary quite a bit as well. $100,000 a year would be great in central Florida, but wouldn't go nearly as far in some place like New York or northern California. (If I made $100k in Florida, I'd probably plan to retire in my early 50s instead of at age 62.)

Hmm. Do engineers count? For America, looking at this. I'd say a quite a few engineering jobs go north of 80 000$/year. Thought only petroleum engineers break the 100k/year mark.
Didn't see the "a month". Unless you're operating Obama's brain tumour or designing the new skyscraper or an oil refinery, I'd say no.

no your ignoring weapons design and stuff for the 100k+ a year group for engineers

Fucking hell Semane Petsmart on hourly and you're getting married? That's going to end well I can see already.
Soryon:
I am jealous of you, Semnae. I would love a job at PetSmart.
Closest I ever got was volunteering at an animal shelter. Prolly more fun, but no income =/
