Go to school bro and remember Mr. Gecko said it best "...money isn't made or lost, it's just transferred from one perception to another..."

yeah you said that in your first post. im Familiar with GD also, they have a spot on the other side of the runway from me were they work on some nice ass jets, knew a couple people that worked there but there pay wasnt anything special, the kind of money you make there usually varies by job though. i personally worked for Lear Siegler wich is now a subdivision of URS for 3 years myself and the pay varied quite a bit depending on the position.

BTW to actually help the OP since you have a good amount of experiance in retail management try a better store like Sears or Radio hack. Managers at some of those stores can make pretty good money, managers at Circuit City used to make between 50-100k depending on what there postion was and how good the store did (50k+ was like a sales manager, store managers made more) but that was back when they were on a commision system.

Thats cool to see another person who has some contracting. 8)

Re: thinkn bout getn a new job

yeah they work on gulfstreams thats who im refering too.. like i said i never worked for them they just happen to be on the other side of the ramp of me and ive known a few people that worked for them.....

as always the money isnt really made in your hourly rate, its made in the perdiem (non taxable money). the more you move/travel the more you make cause that tax free money keeps coming in.

im done as a contractor for now, but yeah i did it for 3-4 years and im finally just now (after 4 years of my new job) passing what i made as a contractor.... good times :)
