rusty savage Wrote:my job blows!!! dont work for sega or any other amusement company!!!! I have learned to fix damn near any thing in the last 10 years and I still make no $$$$$. Ive ended up being the maint guy at my condo building just to make ends meet.Rusty, with that type of knowledge MOVE TO VEGAS!!!!! I'm not kidding you! Slot techs in vegas are making $30 an hour(stations casino tech! don't know about the smaller or larger casinoes) over 8 hours a day is time and a half and over 12 is double!
When I did an install at Fiesta Henderson, one of the slot techs stayed with us while we worked (needed him to open up games and other b.s.) He was loving it cause it was during the expansion and anything over 8 for him ended up being double time because of all the work on the new part of the casino! For you learning how to work on a slot machine would take little to NO effort! And it's always sunny there! Cost of living is a lot higher though! My house here cost $150,000, a smaller single level ranch type house in NORTH LAS VEGAS(the ghetto) cost $325,000!!
Oh and if you work for ANY casino you get 3 free meals a day! They have whats known as a T.D.R. Team Dining Room. Professinal chefs cook damn good meals 24/7! I'm not talking hamburgers and hotdogs either! Steaks, ribs, lobster good food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PAIN; THE INK AND THE JEWELRY ARE JUST SOUVENIERS
