That’s suspect. The site says that’s the average salary reported, implying many make less.
Another data point… if you can find a $15/hr full time job (minimum wage in many US markets now), that’s ~30K per year.
- muzani 5y agoMy first job paid enough to cover food and transport, not even housing or health insurance. I seriously considered quitting and working as an assistant manager at KFC, just because it would pay the bills. That kind of median salary was a fantasy. 10 years later, I make over double the median salary I fantasized about. Most of my former classmates never get there; they're lucky to get jobs putting in fiber optic cables. Most end up doing boring jobs like selling insurance or working HR. But the salary is a local maxima. I had to go through years of terribly paid jobs to get enough experience to get a decent one.
