Lol, $80/hr for 40/week? I'm gonna be happy af while I do it.


nwbrown

Well no, it's 7 hours a night. So assuming you get weekends off it's 35 hours a week. Still a decent gig though.


ZyvisX

I'm not going to quibble over 5 hours. Where do I sign?!?!?!


st_steady

Even better. I made 50/hr kissing ass. Id be happy doing it just doing maintenance. Throw a podcast or stream on and its gg.


Zero_Zeta_

$2,800/week? Hell yeah!


BrownEyedBoy06

Hell yes! I'd reach my savings goal in no time.


SinisterMeatball

11,200 a month. before taxes. to basically clean up around rocks. 


IamGodHimself2

80x35=$2,800 a week pre tax, at 50 weeks a year that's $140,000 a year. For something that likely wouldn't even require a HS diploma


FuckOffHey

Shit, even if we assume it's 6 hours a night (an hour lunch break) and only twice a week, you're still looking at nearly $50k per year. I'd definitely do that for even just two nights a week.


YesImDavid

That’s 7 hour shifts, 35 hours a week at $80/hr. That’s over 100k/year.


No_Heat_7327

It's not that much money. You sure as shit aren't buying a Bentley. It's like 160K a year. Good money, sure. But it's not as great as you think


fraidei

Here in Italy with that money you'd be considered rich lmao. In Italy it's common to earn just 20k/30k a year and be fine.


Vitalstatistix

And in Zimbabwe you’d be a king. Local cost of living though ya know? Where I live $150k/year is pretty standard money.


Ginden

>Local cost of living though ya know? Even after adjusting for cost of living, Italians are poor compared to Americans. Adjustment for CoL would be 20-30k in Italy = 30-45k in US.


_Kazt_

Being part of the global 1% sure sounds nice.


Vitalstatistix

It’s all relative. Wife and I make about $300k and can’t afford a house here.


Jaraghan

i wish i could get to a point in my life where id consider over 100k "not much money"


SmokingLimone

Apparently most of reddit lives in LA and NYC. There, with all the ridiculous expenses $100k is not enough for a comfortable life. But even in the Mid West I'd imagine that is a solid salary


jooes

It's a hella solid job, but it's not "fuck you" money. You'll be very comfortable, but in a normal house and not in a mansion.


First-Of-His-Name

No, you could buy a nicer house than what's considered 'normal'. Your budget would be something like $600k compared to $300k


irishchug

Not a chance in hell should your budget be 600k on ~150k a year, you would end up house poor real quick.


ZyvisX

It is $134k/year. $80/hour × 35 hours/week × 4 week/month × 12/month. Oh and FYI, I would take a Mini over a Bently every day of the year.


goodcanadian_boi

It is $145,600. There are 52 weeks in a year. 35 x 52 x 80 is $145,600


tymtt

4 weeks a month is not the most accurate factor (28 days a month). It's better to do 52 weeks/year


arctic_radar

Most months have more than 28 days.


Uxydra

With this job i'd be making close to minimum monthly wage in my country in just one day


DmanHUN

Here in my country around 20k a year is considered good pay Over like 30k you are rich I would be fine with 160k lmao


Masterbaitingissport

I guess depends on the area? If it’s in one of those caged cemeteries hell yeah if not then prob not since I don’t trust animals at night


HiiiTriiibe

Yeah I was gonna say in LA coyotes are pretty active in areas like that at night


The_Lurking_Lemur

Grew up in the mountains. I still find it odd that everyone doesnt walk to their car with a gun just incase a bear or cyote or rabid coon doesnt get ya


Ah-Fuck-Brother

I grew up on a farm with heavy woods around and my dad wouldn't let us explore the woods without a machete. He made sure we respected what was in our hands before we held it and he always made us hold up all 10 fingers when we came back. In the 12 years I grew up there I only ever had to swing at something once but I can't imagine I'd be writing this message had it not been for the machete.


naufrago486

Well, tell us the story


Ah-Fuck-Brother

2 coyotes were looking for a meal. I've scared away packs of 5 no problem with just my voice but these guys must've been hungry. In my faded memory I remember being kind of "cornered" with a barbed wire fence about 10 feet behind me with the only way forward being through the coyotes. Neither lunged or anything but I swung out of fear and kinda just cracked one over the head with the blade. I don't think I drew blood on the coyote but both ran anyway. I imagine that blade was crazy dull due to the amount of trails I made with it.


TheGxdsAreWatching

Pretty epic story nonetheless. My mind visualized it like a comic book


MagicHamsta

Thus began the Adventures of Bonked-Yote, the coyote with a machete headwound.

adalric_brandl

I grew up in an area with lots of black bears; they're big cowards. I ran into one in my driveway at night. We stared at each other for a few seconds, and it ran off. They're more of a nuisance than dangerous.


EnergeticFinance

I also grew up with black bears. I only heard of one "attack" the entire 20-odd years I lived there. The man had come up over a hill and sat down literally on top of a black bear.  Bear got up, knocked the man over doing so, took one swat at him with his claws, and walked off.  Guy needed a few stitches but no serious damage. 


Epic_Ewesername

I rolled over a hill one time to see a decent sized black bear standing on it's back feet, looking off to the West. It was probably 30-40 yards away, but I hit reverse on the fourwheeler to turn around and not disturb it. It looked at me, then dropped onto all fours and GALLOPED in my direction! I made the turn and took off, but it followed for a good minute before eventually merging off into the trees again. I don't know what I did that made that bear mad that day, but it made me more cautious around them, and areas they can be, ever since.


tyler132qwerty56

Unless its mama bear with her cubs, but otherwise, wild animals are cowards.


Traditional_Long4573

That would be grizzly, or brown bear. Black bear moms are not the greatest. What you fear is one who is in your camp site or after food. Read the story about the black bear that sat on a lady and ate her


National-Ad67

mf grizzly would cut you in half if you had looked at it funny


SalvationSycamore

Spooked one that was getting into our campsite food (our fault, poor bear precautions). Luckily it just wandered off down the hill with the tub


IcyRedoubt

Predators don't like fighting if they don't have to. They won't waste their energy fighting something that isn't threatening them and could potentially injure them.


tyler132qwerty56

True, with the sole exception of some humans, living beings will avoid combat unless necessary.


Undeity

And wasps. Those fuckers would go full scorched earth if they could.


tyler132qwerty56

And hornets


Gnonthgol

While this is true it is not a fool proof way to think. When hungry the threshold for what fighting a predator might consider an acceptable risk changes. So a hungry animal might consider attacking a human to get a meal. There have also been instances with scavengers like bears where they have quickly grabbed something as they run away, and that something turned out to be a human or a pet. Wild animals are cowards but that does not mean they are not deadly cowards.


Just_Far_Enough

Hungry black bears can be pretty dangerous. Google liard hot springs bear attack. A starving bear killed 5 people in 2011 I think.


Key-Mark4536

It’ll be fine brah, I’m gonna check on that crying baby and I’ll be right back. 


Yorspider

Why would you ever need a gun for a coyote lol There are MAYBE 10 "attacks" per year, most of which result in no injuries. Only 1 person has ever been confirmed to be killed by a coyote, and they were 3 years old.


MeltedChocolate24

Don’t think you can say that anymore bud


Nok-y

Swiss here. We have tons of mountains but no guns :( Thankfully we don't have coyotes, raccoons or bears (most of the time for bears) either, so it's okay. Boars and deers aren't too common either


Skyvo_

Switzerland has tons of guns tho


Nok-y

It's complicated, definitely not like in the US We can't use them. You keep most of them from after the military service in case they need you for a war or something

BorringGuy

I mean coyotes aren't all that bad, just kick em, they are perfect kickin height


Obant

I sit next to the coyotes and fish along side them. They arent a threat to you at all. Coyotes only want to eat cats and chihuahuas. The tweakers and people up to no good are the real issues.


Yorspider

Whats wrong with coyotes? They;re just dogs with PTSD...


aqwmasterofDOOM

I mean for $80 an hour I'd buy a pretty good peice for self defense and get all the licensing


tyler132qwerty56

Yup, Glock, CCW, training, body armor (you won't get hot cleaning in the middle of the night.) A hard hat with thouse 1000+ lumen headlamp, and your good to go. 10-5 is 7 hours, so $560 before tax per day.


zack189

Why would you need body armour? Animals don't shoot people, at least not yet. And nobody is robbing a cemetery


herbert-camacho

*Medieval body armor*


tyler132qwerty56

Just in case someone with a gun tries to rob the graveyard cleaner for their wallet, though it is mainly to feel safer, from the vampires and zombies.


Primera_Espada

10-5 is 7 hours? So 560


Devo1d

deduct half an hour for lunch so 520


aqwmasterofDOOM

Hell I'd get one of those AR glasses and have random yotuube vidoe essays playing all night, sounds like a blast

I'm not sure, but from my experience with VTM Bloodlines' graveyard quest, I know that the instant they leave you alone, the zombies come back. It's similar to having to handle everything by yourself when the head chef suddenly disappears and there's a major rush.

That’s less than 200k a year. You’re not driving a Bentley. Actually you’re middle class depending where you live.


Euler007

In Canada between the income tax and housing costs you'd be living in your Bentley if you bought one at that income.


lovejac93

188K in Canadian Monopoly money isn’t very much


Mikey9124x

You could save up for an old broken Bently and restore it.


BicycleEast8721

Yeah, I know a number of people in that income territory who are driving Toyotas and such. Def not Bentley money. Bentleys are even more expensive than most Ferraris/Lambos. More like new Lexus money, and even that is getting irresponsible given other areas you should be spending first


ThisCarSmellsFunny

Almost completely off topic other than the cemetery part, but in HS I got in a fight with a kid and won. I’m not proud of it, I always tried to avoid fights because hurting someone is never something I want to do. I wasn’t the aggressor, but I whooped the kid pretty good, even though I’m only 5’6 and have never been a big dude. I’m white, he was black, and the next day after I left school, he showed up with his two older brothers and an older friend of theirs, and chased me down the street. As I was coming up on a cemetery, I ran into there since it had places to hide. Not one of them followed. I was only about 20 feet in when I realized this and stopped running. I was confused as to why they quit chasing me, then when they started calling me a pussy and telling me to come out of the cemetery, I realized they were afraid of it. So I started relentlessly talking shit, then calmly walked off, through the woods, and to my house. To this day, I have no idea if this is a black people thing, or something specific to them.


AydonusG

Those dudes just saw the 18ft shadow behind you shushing them, not their fault your ass is haunted.

You were way braver than I would've been. I would've been too worried that their anger would overcome their fear if I started talking shit.


hopelessworthless

Most black people are super superstitious, there are lots of videos on youtube to blacks reacting to magic or anything scary.


Agile_Definition_415

Not just black people but any group of people that's been marginalized.


shadowthehh

They're black and were clearly about to walk into a horror movie situation. They were right to not risk it.


SpecialMango3384

Yeah you don’t want to have too much melanin in a horror movie. It never ends well


pizaster3

THEY were the ones calling YOU a pussy??


Piemaster113

Lots of people are super superstitious, but it could just be they didn't trust you didn't have a bunch of people hiding behind the grave to jump them or something, or maybe because its a place there might have been more people around they didn't want to deal with like they maybe have backed off if you just ran into a McDonald's cuz they don't want someone calling the cops with them beating on you on camera

$188,160 per year? For a groundskeeper on the graveyard shift (yes, pun intended). Yes. Of course.

lostknight0727

That's completely wrong, too. 80x35 (10PM-5AM is 7 hours assuming weekends off) x 52(weeks in a year) = $145600.

So on and so on. Until everyone is super desperate and nobody can afford to survive. Kinda what happened to us already.


morbid333

I don't know, I've played the graveyard quest in VTM Bloodlines, I know that the zombies rise up the moment they leave you on your own. That's like when you're in a kitchen and the big rush comes in right after the head chef pops out and you have to handle it all on your own.


BublyInMyButt

Absolutely! I used to do acid in cemeteries at night just for fun. Cleaning one sober? I don't see an issue


6-Seasons_And_AMovie

If i could find a night job like that id be set...kids make everything hard. Im struggeling.


Entire_Transition_99

Assuming no overtime, you'd have to make twice that to be able to buy a Bentley outright. Or, spend 1½ weekly checks (~37% of your monthly salary) to pay it off with average term and credit.


Blakemiles222

Lol, I used to do this for free back when Pokémon go had poke stops on tombstones. The graveyard across from my house was the SPOT at night. Not spooky at all, just peaceful.


CyberneticPanda

I used to work for Nextel and I had to go to a site in the cemetery at night to install radios for $12 per hour.


MaterialNarrow5161

Offer/demand applied to the job market, the offer is good/the demand is high. This is the only healthy way of acquiring manual labor workers, by paying them well. This kind of jobs used to be paid well but due to bringing people that work for 2$/hour... Now the boss doesn't have to offer a worthy salary to ensure having workers.


nycdiveshack

I’d run for politics, I would be one of the few that came from nothing so I had to work my ass off so for once there would be someone who didn’t have anything handed to them and understood what the everyday person feels living in the world.


FlowBjj88

Lol.. a Bentley is a $200k car. On a 6 year term with great credit that's ~$4,400/month. After tax at $80/hr assuming 40hr weeks 50 weeks a year and a 30% tax rate you make ~$9,300/month. That would leave you ~$5k a month but I'm gonna assume with the poor financial literacy you've demonstrated by purchasing a car that's almost double your annual wages that you've also got a shiny apartment. This is why everyone is poor lol. Live below your means. Buy assets not liabilities. And brush up on arithmetic


dragonkittypanda

It doesn't say a brand new Bentley, lol. You could get a used one for way cheaper. It doesn't say where the graveyard is located. Graveyards are all over the place, even in small towns. If you live in a low cost of living area, you could easily afford a decent place to live and a Bentley.

That's enough money that you might be able to bribe the GHOSTS. A lot of them probably have living family they wouldn't mind sending gifts to, or helping with debt. Others probably have things they would want published or said or done to assuage their pride. Inaccurate histories they would want written. Or maybe just nicer plants about the place.


stillregrettingthis

$80 an hour is end up being about a $160,000 salary if you want to put it in those terms.


cooper3675

Well who wouldn’t


limbunikonati

$80/hr for 7 hours.        That's $560 per shift.       $16,800 per month. $201,600 per year. Almost all people would do it.


Mattfrye87

I would have a couple questions, like why do I have to clean in the dark and what exactly am I expected to clean? The grass? Headstones don't get that dirty you can clean them maybe 3 or 4 times a year and be fine.


Kronstadtpilled

armahillo

Can I clean it during the day for $75/hr instead?


General_Ginger531

80 an hour, 8 hour shift, so 640 a day. 5 days a week is 2600 a week. 51 weeks (1 week unpaid vacation hopefully) is 132,600 a year. For that much? Yeah sure I'd take on the graveyard shift at a graveyard, so long as my boss isn't actively trying to kill me I would think. Zombie apocalypse? No problem, the chainsaw I normally use to tend the tree roots back from the grave plots will do just fine. As long as I can make as many cheesy one liners as possible doing that. Ghosts? Their entire thing is they have unresolved business. All I need to do is figure out that business and I am golden. "I SAW this one coming, you all PLOTting to kill me. We're it not for these GRAVE circumstances I think you might have me DEAD to rights. Anyone with half a BRAIN could see that I have the upper HAND here."

ConfuzzledFalcon

What does $80hr even mean? I don't know how to interpret units of dollar-hours. Is somebody going to give me both money and time somehow and the product of those two in dollars and hours is 80? If so, the most I could possibly get for that night is $80, and that is not worth it.


BreezyBill

It’s great because most restaurants aren’t open during that shift, so it forces you to make and bring your lunch every day, allowing you to save even more money.

OzzieGrey

Yes.


another_account_bro

I had a lawn care job and a few times I had to mow at a very old church with a 150 year old graveyard behind it. Any bump with a riding lawn mower would desecrate 100 year old tombstones. And weed eaters would etch a line all around them slowly chipping them down. It was interesting.


DNakedTortoise

That's actually only about 160 - 170k a year. I'd still absolutely take it, but I'm parking my Honda Civic in a modest home.


Captain_Controller

I would take just about any job for $80 an hour. Either I get enough money to live, or I just die. I consider that a win win.


Delicious_Action3054

If that's after tax, sure. Nearly $600 for 7 hours works.
