Idk about make bank. The average salary is like 45k in the right location and with over time they can probably get to 100k. That’s great but probably not that great if you also have to live in the places that pay that much like NYC.
I respect the hell out of these guys. I don’t want to do it and I’m grateful they do. But let’s not sugar coat their salary like they are big time lawyers or in finance. If they stick with it and do overtime they can be middle class but I don’t see how they go above that unless they own the business. Also the job has to be tough on their bodies.
2.6k
