- kittiepryde 8y agoIf you calculate with overtime, it is. 40+30*1.5 = 85 effective hours 70000/52/85 = $15.84 hour
- simonh 8y agoAlso $70k is "low wages". Hilarious. >> What if we told you that we were beginning to think work itself was the problem? Who needs people doing useful things anyway. Intellectual Marxists losing touch with the reality of the experience of working class people? Or actual reality in general? Perish the thought!
- murph-almighty 8y ago>Also $70k is "low wages". Hilarious. Entirely dependent on your location. I'd imagine that most _ideal_ architecture jobs require an urban setting, which usually translates to high rent/housing prices, for which 70k might be a tricky budget. If you're earning 70k in a strip mall sprawl, you might be better off financially speaking, but what opportunities exist there?
- Konnstann 8y ago$70k isn't very tricky outside of "the most expensive places to live", and working in an urban setting doesn't mean you need to live next to the buildings you are designing.
