Where I am, 70-90 k is an absolute shit salary is my point. It might be great where you are, but where I am, that's not buying you a house. That's about what our more senior technicians make, but the entry level guys make like $25-28/hr. Almost every office job at our company pays more. I love turning bolts, but it's objectively harder work for less money, and that is why I don't want those jobs.
Where do you live? Not exact location but rural or major Metropolitan area? It matters a lot.
I'm surrounded by tech companies and a crack house costs $1.4 mil
Right. These are manufacturing jobs in rural to small cities. Top end of jobs for unskilled workers.
