Can you construct your own supply curve of labor?

What do you mean 'your own'?

What do you mean 'your own'?

Do exactly what I did but for yourself.

Christ who knows.  It all depends on how much money one has.  If one has enough to live from ones stipend one never thinks of working.  If one has no stipend, then one must work for whatever they'll give one.

It is a kind of bizarre idea that anyone has much choice regarding the issue of work or pay.

Was yours hours per day or per week? 

[opebo]

Given the numbers on Rocket's  right vertical axis, I doubt that I would even bother to get out of bed.

Around maybe $150 an hour net, I would guess, and if it gets more than about 20 hours a week, than about double that, unless it is a very interesting project. I actually like working my trade, as long as it does not interfere to much with other activities that I am into, like getting ripped. And yes, I am one lucky guy.

Probably the correct term is 'privileged', rather than lucky, but yes, you are.  The wage rates on phnkrocket's chart are actually above normal for the vast majority of americans.

Oh and btw, am I the only one that finds the term 'ripped' disgusting?

[opebo]

Why do you find the term "ripped," "disgusting" Opebo (other than that it is somewhat vague, regarding which I pondered before deciding to just go for it)?

I'm just not a very slangy guy, and it sounds a bit violent.  I would hate to think of any part of MY body ever being 'ripped'!  Or maybe it is meant to allude to ripping phone books apart like you muscle men do.

As a young Indian kid, I was fixing computers for $50 a pop at age 16. Must have created a wealth effect heh.

Hopefully my CFA days are soon here, so I can earn potentially $150k salaried and maybe some more in investments.

I would like to get a job as a young Indian kid.   As for wishing for 'CFA days', becareful.  Remember, wishing to move forward in time at an accellerated (or perceived as accellerated) rate is suicidal.
