I got a job! (1 Viewer)

[Adam_S]

Just in time to start paying Student loans as the deferment expires in about four weeks.

I'm so happy to be amongst the ranks of the employed, and this is a terrific, ideal position too!

Don't keep us in suspense - what kind of job?

 

[Holadem]

Pro'ly Production Assistant, which is fancy for "set handyman". Gotta start somewhere .

Seriously, congrats.

Actually it's a Vault Manager for a post production company, one step below Assistant Editor which is the next goal in my career path (last vault manager was just promoted up to Assistant editor).

though almost every interview I've had in the past month has been for a post Production Assistant job, so Holadem was close, that's what I thought I'd be doing and this came along and is a lot closer to what I want to do (post PA is the entry level for the Associate Producer track, it's on the paper side, not the picture side, of post production, so a lot harder to jump from there to asst or apprentice or trainee editor).

Congrats. Hope the real world doesn't knock you on your ass!

Get back to work and pay your FICA taxes so that retired guys like me can kick back, drink cognac, and watch my HT.

 

[Adam_S]

Yeah what's that form, (W9?) I need to fill out so taxes aren't withheld (except for the inevitable medicare medicaid & SS which I already know I will never see again since it's going to pay for Dennis' generation and there won't be anything left for mine, zero zilch nada is my expectation for SS, despite probably paying tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars into it the next 40 years), I hate giving the government an interest free loan and I need every penny to pay people back, pay off credit card debt and make rent, gas, grocery, and car payments.

DUDE!

Congratulations on the job, just in time to fend off the student loan vultures!

 

[Scott Merryfield]

Just make sure that you do not underpay by too much, either, or you will be charged a penalty at tax time. No sense in giving Uncle Sam more than you need to, either.

And, by the way, congrats.

 

[Lew Crippen]

Congratulations Adam. And good luck getting out of the vault.

Congratulations!! Now you can do your part to help stop the shrinking middle class (see appropriate thread)
