FWIW, my Adjusted Gross Income for the feds:
Year 2: 38 K
Year 3: 43 K
Year 4: 46 K
Year 5 projected: 70 K (lots of IOE displacements and doubletime)
And of course perdiem at $500+ per month. I know people say that it isn't income, but I pack most of my food (more for health than money) and spend $150ish a month, so take that $350 extra and call it whatever you want.
I agree with the sentiment of the above poster (OCCP), however although its been 4+ years and 5000+ TT, my QOL has been great and I've made a decent income for a single guy. Nothing you can do about it once you have your number, so might as well create a life you can enjoy.
