I'm not a gunsmith, but 12$ an hour sounds pretty good for someone graduating jr college with only a little experience. That's about 24k a year, without overtime, working 40 hour weeks. I would say that's not to shabby. I don't know how old you are but look at what your friends make right out of college, I'm sure its somewhere in that ballpark. Just remember that the only direction you can move is up.

If it makes you feel better many of my friends are doctors now (interns, residents) and their average salary is about 40K, and they are working 100 hour weeks, no OT.

Also, how many years is a gunsmithing program?
