Only $60K??? You are nuts. That is not enough to support smart phone, daily lattes, theater tickets weekly, Uber > 5blocks, etc. No blue city TWOT could live without that.
Yah gotta think of the blue city “citizens” who expect > $100k as a starter job. Why, that is why they got their degrees in gender studies!!
She actually didn't know what she wanted to do at the beginning of her AA education. By the time she finished her two years in an inexpensive but quality junior college, she had decided to be a medical technician.
The linemans sa;ary is grossly under reported. They are generally IBEW unionized and they receive very high pay when they work overtime during stormy weather.
Als thiose who have their master ticket ( red ticket) , and who work on high tension lines with high transmission towers earn very high wages, a lot more than is reported.
Being a lineman is one of the best jobs on this list.
AI will mostly be replacing women in pink collar jobs.
If you want to make real money, you have to have your own business. If you are really good, you can charge top dollar and customers will pay it.
Airframe and PowerPlant mechanics earn $150k plus at the major airlines.
Ship and boat captains and operators make a lot more than that.
At least in Alaska fisheries; there was a guy in a North Carolina town where I lived who made captain on a crab boat.
He would fly to Alaska for the season and sometimes pull in 200k-300k then spend the rest of the year at home with his kids.
That was 34 years ago.
Then again it’s not easy to make captain.
In this case the link includes your email address. Most of them don't but the info in those links can be traced back to you. There are already have a million ways for them to invade our privacy.
The trick is to delete everything in the URL starting with the "?". Everything after that is to identify you and has nothing to do with the subject.

I added some "t's" in the http to prevent it from showing up as a link so you can see what I'm talking about and changed the email to x's.
If you find the "?" and delete it and everything after it, it will look something like this and still work but without your personal info.

“Postmasters and mail superintendents oversee staff, ensure efficient mail processing and delivery, and maintain office operations. The role typically requires passing qualifying exams and background checks, and experience in administration can be beneficial.”
In Georgia, we can’t get our mail. Oh, we get junk mail daily but important first class mail seldom arrives or if it does it is 2 or 3 weeks from the postmark date. This has been going on for over a year and no one seems to be able to solve the problem. However, every few months I see an article of another postal worker being arrested for theft.
In Georgia, the USPS is a jobs program for DEI hires and they are making a killing stealing the mail. Also, just earlier this month there was an article regarding absentee ballots just magically getting lost and never making it to their destination (all from a very rural county).
#16: Illegal Alien: $69,700 with free housing thrown in!
I recently had a mobile sonograph done in my bed for gall bladder stones during latest hospital stay. The sonographer was at my bed maybe 15-20 minutes. I asked the maybe 27 year old what training he had to get into his position at Providence Hospital. He said something about specialized training for about 20 months. He didn't mention any prior college like a AA or BS.
I then asked how is the pay. "He said damn good". I told him good for you for not wasting 10's or 100's of thousands on a worthless degree that the colleges are pumping out nowadays. He commented that his friends in college are envious of his career choice and couple are thinking of dropping out and attending a specialized trade school.
There ya go - Trade Schools. Most think trade school means plumbing or electrical training. There are a lot of tech schools popping up like his. Plus, with all the marxist and pro-Pali protests/riots of late, many employers are becoming reluctant to hire from elite universities. It's only going to get worse for those students.

I pulled six figures with a GED.
Unusual but it can be done.
In the movie The Money Pit the Tom Hanks character was on the phone trying to order the reluctant “executive plumber” to set up work on the plumbing.
The plumber said he’d never heard of the lawyer and asked how much money he made. Hanks condescendingly said “Well, I’ve never heard of you, either, how much money do you make?”
Then he looked unbelieving: “That much, huh?”
Maintenance mechanic in a steel mill $100,000 plus for the last 10-15 years
DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED?!
A buddies son wanted to be an Air Traffic Controller after graduating high school.
He took a test and joined the USAF with a 2 year contract to become a controller. He trained in the US for six months. Then he spent a year in Iraq during the war. He never left the base outside of Baghdad except when he was on leave. We he came back from Iraq he spent another six months at some USAF base in the midwest.
He got out and immediately got hired by the FAA Civilian Air Traffic Controllers program. Again, trained for a few months somewhere in the midwest. Upon graduation, they gave him a choice of three airports. He chose Miami International starting at $75K per year. He has been there ever since. In a few years he will retire with a Federal Govt Pension.
None of those jobs are “entry level.”
To get those jobs usually requires starting in a minimum wage role…for a long time.
Good luck getting a lot of people to choose those career paths.
I would counter this list with saying that success in the US comes from taking a job in the field you want to work in…and then working your butt off; learning the job; learning the company; and contributing to the success of the company.
There are a lot of people who think they are “owed” promotions and six figures because they show up every day. Here is a tip: There are 20 million immigrants in the country who will show up every day for a lot less money. To get those top slots you need to stand out. Most people don’t stand out.
My wife and I were both Ultrasound Techs from the 70’s through 2000’s . Our combined salaries including on call which is required in that field equaled $200-250 per year. Not rich, but a comfortable life style with our two kids who are both very successful in their lives thanks to homeschooling them and keeping them out of the public school system.
