In fact, a friend of mine works in a the distribution centers as a refrigeration maintenance tech that makes more than a lot of A and P’s I know. The above friend was an A and P, actually.
My buddies at UPS can do that too, but not by just "flying their line". They'd have to work OT on days off, etc.
Plenty of votech/trade jobs can pay well if you hustle. A lot.
By the same token I could have made $300k doing sims at the regional, if I wanted to pull doubles 20 days/month.
I did about $130K flying the line (moderately senior).
My plumber lives down the block from me. All the other neighbors are md's, lawyers business owners, etc. He did our plumbing long before I could afford to live here...
