what world are you living in where these are considered fairly compensated?
- Test0129 4y agoYou have a very funny definition of "fairly compensated" because both construction and medicine are 6 figure fields after 10 years in most occupations. I have a friend who is a journeyman pipefitter making 60k for all of 2 years of experience. That is comically overpaid for YoE in a field that requires all of 1 year of on the job training you don't even pay for.
- dannyw 4y ago60k a year for skilled labour is comically overpaid now? What?
- ausbah 4y agoteaching is pretty chronically underpaid. there's more to medicine than just doctors, nurse don't come out that great after adjusting for hours worked iirc. not sure how 60k is comically overpaid in any sane sense, coming from this field of all places where 6 figs out of college is pretty common
