I hate to say it though, this system is about a compromise. When the going gets tough, people that make a lot are the ones that get hurt the most. Sure, you're pumping out 6 figures, but how much time have you put in? I'm sure some of you put in the time to deserve the pay. But what I mean was, taxes will just kill you and you'll have to decide if it's worth the time.
I make about $40-$45K including everything. I can't complain, although I'm at a point in wanting 'more'. Having insurance, 401k, and most of all, being attached to your network is what keeps me going. I rather take a lower pay and be in the field, than do something outside of my scope & deteriorate.

I went to the JC and it just wasn't for me, not to mention I was doing everything on my own. I decided to take a job opportunity and moved forward with that. Went from retail to banking to the wine industry. I started off on the very bottom at a winery when I turned 21. I worked my way up to Manager in 2yrs. I'am going on my 5th year this august and been manager for 3 of those yrs. Pay has definitely increased.
1-2 yrs - 35k when I started
3-5yrs 55k+
During my retail job I escalated to Manager within 1yr. When I was a banker I got promoted twice. I learned a lot about myself when handling different scenarios in different types of companies. I hated the retail hours, and I hated the very quiet, linear environment of a bank. A winery is a great balance of everything I like to do. I love meeting people (we get people from all over the world), I enjoy sales and I like the freedom of being able to spend as much time as necessary wherever I want anytime with anyone. I can do a 2hr long private tasting, or host a 1hr long bachelorette party and ACTUALLY have fun. It sucked working up the ladder, but now it's worth it.# ImDaBAws

Where are you trying to move?. What type of position are you trying to get? You about dat wine life? It's just a matter of being eager to learn and being patient with things. If you dont like what you do you will be miserable. I love my job...but I can definitely tell you that it is not for everyone. Today I had this dude ask me questions like "how many grapes in a bottle"Originally Posted by ME NO PASS

Yo Retro, I'm interested in working in the wine industry since I have a bit of a background if you will and I'm considering a job (and especially) career change. Can we also discuss further via PM about F/T opportunities?
