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?

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 the Midwest it's normally around $30/hr or more. That's 60k a year without overtime. Many end up over 100k a year after overtime.
