are you under CIEE Direct client?

do you mind to tell where did you work in Alaska? work as server?

speedwing - ciee

hmshost... starbucks.. lol

whoa, that means you earn average 1K usd per week. with a single job? how is this possible?!!

total earned in pay check is 10k exact, not inclusive bonus

total tips is 3k

i earn a few hunded selling sutff

i work i think around 12 hours a day * 6 = 72 hours

32 hours ot + 50% pay + 40 hours normal pay = 88 hours normal pay * 4 = 352 hours a month

352 * 8.5 = 3k usd * 4 month = 12k

but 1st month i was lz i went to shopping n visiting so earn less... total 10 for paid income.. get 9k after tax.. will claim back around 90% tax next month which is around 700+

tips avg of 20 a day... 2k usd... but i all d guai low n guai mui like me.. so i earn slightly more than 2k in tips lor

total around 13k ler.. 3 k for air fair n speedwing charges... untung 10k usd lor, now lying at home.. hahahaa

that's awesome mate.

just went n do my tax return 2day at speedwing's office... i was told one of my peers earned 12k... zzzzzzzzz

how do you people actually earn that much?

anyway, i've just had my interview with HRC. hopefully the GM will consider to give me server position.

HRC? GM?

r u going under speedwing or ootb?

OOTB.

HRC = hard rock cafe
GM = general manager

ootb sucks big time XD hhahahaa

woo.. good 4 u.. u r lucky 2 work there... direct hire i guess

you can earn big bucks if you are lucky enough to work in a busy restaurant. In NYC, most decent restaurants are full in lunch and dinner time. Just the tips for a day should be no less than $100? Most likely its more than that. In weekend, bam imagine that.

ermm... for work n travel it depends... because on the east coast sometimes u can't receive tips.. state law... those ppl get lots of tips work illegally

NY doesn't forbidden tips. US is way different than Malaysia where service charge comes together with the bill. In US any kind of service deserves tip. Restaurant, hair cut, pedicare, taxi, you name it.

Btw did you made big bucks in Alaska?

errmm.. sometimes they got laws from preventing underage/non tem card/non perma workers from receiving tips...

lots of so called over time, n big tips because i am such a lovable person

btw, there's no state tax in alaska!!!

I never been to Alaska but I have the impression that Alaska is a less developed state filled with natural resources. The vampire movie "30 nights without day?" something like that just worsen my impression on Alaska. I live in a least developed state myself and it ain't fun. I don't think I would make that much even i work in the bussiest restaurant in the town. On top of that some customers are biased.

anyway are you in teh state now?

errmm.. less developed yes... but their biggest city has everything u need... i loved my time there and hopefully i will go return there next month..

oohh... d good old days... u can get some of my picta from my blog.. d post from last year

saw those pictures. great shots! never thought that Alaska can be that green. all these while, alaska was always white in my mind
