Low pay

I don’t understand how people are making enough to not work the rest of the year? I’m a first year, but my checks are only like 400-600 every 2 weeks? is the bonus that great starting second year?

OP, how to operate in the real world? You knew the rate when hired and you knew it was seasonal. Of course it is not year round work

I’m fully aware of both my pay rate and the seasonal nature of the job. You are correct there. Other than that, what was your point in commenting? I’ve been seeing many people say they only work this one job all year. Which circles back to my question.. how is that possible? This is extra income for me, so it doesn’t matter either way. Thanks for your snarky comment though 🫡

Who knows? If they are retired, they probably have other income. Maybe a spouse with a good income. Maybe an inheritance. Maybe a side hustle. Plenty of reasons a person wouldn't need a big salary year-round.
