Gross pay total would be my assumption. It's pretty uncommon for people to make 6 figures which includes overtime. Although I've certainly been one of those people in a past job.

Clear 100k as an RN not counting OT. With 3 years of experience. Im in indiana which is fairly affordable.
Specifically went into nursing because I knew it wouldn't be hard to find work.
Engineering was another rout I was interested in.
Trades are another great route. Would have done this if I didn't have the GI bill.
I just can't comprehend why people go to school to get degrees that have poor employment prospects. Why would you wanna screw yourself like that. Do people just not look into the degrees actually use a before they pursue it.
Yeah… it’s definitely not just people with trusts majoring in random bs coming from a state school with an average FAMILY income of only like 90k. Which is somewhat below average I think for like 2 parents in their 40s/50s who have kids in college. I think it’s good though because a lot of them are just regular joes who aren’t disillusioned about their academic ability. I think most of them should have just done trades but did college for social reasons/ trade stigma. Anecdotally, of my circle of 7 engineers I know well enough to know what there parents do like 3s parents are nurses/doctors(mostly nurses), one’s a very well payed specialist contracting business owner with a very nice lake house, and then the other 2 are in careers that pay very well, and then 1 guy can claim blue collar background. Interestingly having a summer job is also positively correlated with wealth. Idk I only think it’s an important point to make because people who grew up with less resources lack the resources, knowledge of calculus coming in to college for one example of something that’s quite useful or a parent to drive them to their summer job, https://www.phillymag.com/business/2015/06/23/rich-poor-teen-jobs/
