I wasn't able to buy a house in 2010-2015 and make a quick 100k like some folks.. Anyway, I don't owe anyone an explanation of why $57 an hour won't work in my situation... And I'm not saying I'm not willing to make the adjustment or sacrifice or whatever. It's just lame your first year pay is $57. No need to roast y'all. And definitely no need to get defensive! You guys sound like a great group of folks, and that's the main reason I applied.
