i started at 22/hr after highschool i now make 37/hr plus healthcare and pension as a carpenter some years we have unlimited overtime other years we get capped last year i wanted to buy a house so i worked 5 12s and an 8 each week for almost a year and made just over 155k net plus a bonus but most years i makr about 1200 a week after taxes. no debt, bought a fixer upper for 150k cash. i mean it's not for everyone but you can make good money the only thing that sucks is i'm 26 and 90% of my coworkers are twice my age and or married, there are also no women in my day to day life basically it's hard finding a woman because i don't drink, or come into contact with women outside of gasstations
