Nuclear plant operators clear $100k/year, easily. Homer drives an older car in rough shape. They have a plain house in a suburb of Springfield.
Is the lack of new nuclear plants preventing this from being attainable?
- MBCook 6y agoAs the article points out we know Homer’s salary. Also he doesn’t have a degree and burns is a tightwad. There is no reason to think he’s making $100k.
- nrmitchi 6y agoI think you're focusing too much on "nuclear operator" here. As mentioned in the article, Homer worked a variety of different jobs throughout the season. In my opinion, it's not realistic for a high-school graduate with no additional training to be a nuclear operator. I believe it was part of the "ridiculous" that went towards making the show entertaining, and a job that most people would not have in sight into. My point is that a lack of a specific type of job is not the root cause of the situation the author is describing.
