Service industry doesn’t necessarily mean poverty wages. For hotel housekeeping and similar it probably is though. Had a friend making about $50k waiting tables depending on the year in a city you’d likely never heard of before switching to sales. Another working in a kitchen planning to buy a home soon. I know a couple local bartenders who do much better than I expected for a neighborhood bar. Met a guy years ago who was a school janitor and for whatever reason I always thought they would be poor. Turns out that’s a pretty good job. That said, none of these people work as a cashier at McDonald’s or hotel room cleaner either. The one making $50k worked at a national steakhouse chain, not a fancy one but a step up from Applebees.
