I'm not trying to be nosy. No One knows who you are on Yahoo Answers. It's fine not to answer, I am just curious what people live off of. I sometimes feel like I am way behind--I have an associates degree, and am 4 months away from obtaining a Bachelors degree, and it seems like I should be making more--I'm only making 12 bucks an hour.

location is a good point, for example, I live in the Midwest, where the cost of living is cheap.

That really depends on where you live.
Cost of living relative to income is everything.
12hr in the south is good cuz a houses are cheap, in New York, you are going to have 5 room mates in a 1 room apartment.

After you get your Bachelors degree you should be earning 15 to 17 dollars an hour. You should ask for the adjustment when you get your degree. If not, look elsewhere.

Once you get that Bachelors degree it should pick up considerably. If you like the sound of that try graduate school and you won't be worried about finances for long.

It depends on what your degree is in. I have a degree in finance...only making about 32k/yr. It sucks, but it's better than flipping burgers for $8!

be satisfied with what u make. don't worry what others make and all that other stuff. If I told u my story you probably wouldn't believe it anyway. if u find something u like to do you will never have to work a day in your life.
