Over $50/hr with an old world schedule and benefits package. The only requirement is dropping out of high school. That is easy money. Makes me wonder why anyone would choose something that consumes all of their youth. They either have an inflated ego or were sold a lie.

Actually, he’s right. Wal-Mart truck drivers can easily break six-figures with bonuses and safety incentives. Not an easy job to get or entry-level , and you need a great safety record, but it is true.
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.

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...
