Decent wages in San Antonio, Texas?

Question

My bf didn't plan too well when we moved from FL to TX and now we have realized that to not lose our cars and have a place to live, we have to make $23/hour between the two of us.

He is a chef; two year degree in culinary arts but has been out of the cooking industry for about 6 years. He's done private cooking on the side but worked in clerical-type jobs around $12/hour back home. He's 36, hispanic, if that matters for the San Antonio area...

Me, I'm 25 and have no degree yet; I've worked in tons of fast food, and in the past three to four years worked as a collector for debt, and then in call centers for Verizon DSL and Progressive Auto Insurance. Last wage was $13.10/hour

So. Companies that might have similar pay to what we're used to? Opportunities from home to make extra money? (NOT our own business, but anything legal that will give extra cash??) I'm willing to work hard to not lose my transport or home, but need help finding as I'm new here! THANK YOU!!!

Welcome to Texas! West Corp. has a huge call center in SA as does Humana and La Quinta.  It may be hard to find something that starts at $12 an hour, but those would be worth looking into. If you want the service industry, there are tons of up scale restaurants all over the city. That's usually a good way to earn quick cash. We have a  huge tourist business here, so check at the hotels,etc downtown.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer 3

telemarketing companies are good: west, infonxx, usaa, att

I am a guy and before getting into real estate it was hard for me to stick to a job especially telemarketing I did order selecting for a food distribution warehouse for two years until I got my real estate license, I know its not what your BF  is used to but its good money and good benefits, at least until y'all get settled save money and start doing your own thing. I worked at Sygma network(food distribution warehouse) until I had enough money to start my career in real estate. sometimes you have sacrifice a little to keep the things you want and matter.
