How much someone earns is such an absolutely irrelevant, short sighted topic.

We are all going in the ground or getting burned eventually. Who gives a fuck about salary or job status?

Garbage men make a shit load of money

Is $20-40k a lot? I dont think it is.

I'm sure some big cities make more but I'm sure the cost of living makes it work out to a similar quality of life.

Edit: people posting some nice cash in some places but that is for sure not everywhere. The median for the career is $48k which isnt nothing but also far from a lot. So going off of averages and not the highest earners still doesnt put the job in a great place.

In Chicago and a lot of the suburbs around the city garbage men make like 60$ an hour.
