Yeah, that is crazy. I was making more than that 15 years ago (prob equiv of $40k today) after working in retail for 2 years as a department manager at a grocery store (starting as a cashier). All it took was hard work and a good attitude.
Back in the 80’s I placed pay telephones (remember those things?) and averaged $900 a day. But there were days that I made $20-40,000.

That is a RACIST statement (do I need /sarc?)
