“Not bad money for a guy in his mid 30’s, usually with no more than a high school degree.”
A guy I know just “retired” from my town’s cops; he is 46 years old (finished 25 years on the job). That is why NJ is bankrupt; they’ll spend so much paying him they can’t hire his replacement...
Steve Wozniak had no more than a “high school degree” when he engineered the Disk II in 1978 - in just two weeks prior to a trade show. Guess he was a dumb guy since he had less than a Bachelor’s at the time...
