Wages and Job titles

Hey everyone. I had a question about wages. My company has been known to undercut people for years on wages. i'm 20 years old and I really like programming these machines. So i will stick with it. Also, because i am new, i am ok with what they are paying me. I make $18.19/hour with less than a full year of experience. My company does yearly "Cost of living" raises. But nothing other than that. They can undercut people because of the job titles they give people. My job title isn't "CMM Programmer", It's "QA Technician". Like i said, i don't really care what im getting paid right now, because its paid experience in the field.

What would fair ranges of pay be for these fields
-- 0 to 3 years--
-- 3 to 5 years--
--5 to 10 years--
--10 years +--

I don't really wanna know what you guys are making, i just wanna hear some ranges.

If you don't wanna comment, then dont Rolling eyesRolling eyes

Thanks.

    Will that pay be enough for your needs and wants?

    Do you contribute to medical costs?
    Does the company contribute to a 401K matching plan and do you contribute at the MAXIMUM percentage or amount?
    Do you anticipate marriage and a family?
    Home ownership?
    New vehicle?
    Vacation home, boat, camper, etc?
    Saving for kids education, weddings?
    Emergency funds?

    Answer these questions honestly and you will have your decision.

    I recently retired from a Big3 auto company as a union member. Good luck whatever choice you make.
  • Dave Ramsey's "baby steps" are working fine for me, 5 kids, Momma stays at home, zero debt, and enough to go out and play. Highly recommend it!
