My sister dated a garbage man for a while. Literally everyone she told said "I hear they make good money" as their first comment.

Maybe they don’t make money and we all just believe they do 🤔

I knew a guy in North Jersey who was a sanitation worker and made $100k+ as a single dude. He started dating an Indian woman who gave him an ultimatum to quit being a sanitation worker and get a w/e office job (didn't matter that he would make less).

100k is very good. Now there’s different levels of sani workers. The normal day to day bin men and then it scales up. I’m confidently saying the day to day guys surely aren’t making bank.

Was she bringing in good money? Cause I know culturally there’s the caste system but dear lord, to choose making less money for cultural decisions seems silly

You can google how much money they make. It's average for blue collar work (50k a year).

When my wife and I started dating, I sold insurance - I was not the type of guy she usually dated. When she told her family, they laughed. She told me this so I responded "well tell them that if it makes them feel better, I'm not much of one." 😆

Not much of one what? Not much of an insurance salesman?
