Believe it or not, outside of tech, white collar salaries are still not 100k+. Median white collar salaries hover around $80k. Blue collar jobs like construction and plumbing can fetch you those salaries, but without the debt that comes with getting a white collar job.
- xfitm3 2y agoWhen you own your own business you can easily make 6 figures, it just takes years of sweat equity and rough times. A friend of mine has grown his business from 100k/y in sales (and 5-10k profit) to millions per year (~300k profit) installing TVs and stereos in 13 years. He worked his ass off for a long time.
- alan-hn 2y agoIs he doing the installations himself or does he have employees
- darth_avocado 2y agoDefinitely has employees (or contractors he works with). From experience, beyond $300k (~$1000/day excluding Sundays), for blue collar jobs like that, it is hard to grow revenue without the additional help.
- alan-hn 2y agoDoesn't really sound blue collar when he's mostly managing the blue collar workers. Is management a blue collar job?
