This is pretty comparable to the low wages the majority of people will receive just out of college, except the trade job is much more likely to build career skills and relationships without the huge debt burden.
It wasn't until I had about 5 years of solid experience before I started being able to significantly increase my income regularly in my field.
- jamesmp98 7y agoPerhaps you're right. I probably have a warped view of wages working in tech, but I just can't imagine working for over a decade just to max out around $50-$60k without starting my own business
- busterarm 7y agoThat's the reality for almost everyone unless they're willing to relocate. Most tech jobs aren't in low CoL areas and remote work is ultra competitive. There is a ceiling to what local opportunities can provide. More specialized or more senior roles are usually available elsewhere.
