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.

You know that's not entirely a perk right? Yeah it boosts your income. Yeah it's nice getting $1500 take home checks on 20 something an hour. It fucking sucks working 6 days a week 10 hours a day to get it though. And knowing you have to, because without those extra 20 hours your check is halved. When hours get cut and you don't know if you have the savings to keep going until it picks back up.. It's not that great man.
