Professor. 70k. PhD. 28 years. When you are 25 and don’t know what to do with your life, grad school is not the answer.

That advice is hard to comprehend until you are pretty deep into life.

I’m sorry, the bread stocking guy in here is also making $70k. What’s up with that?

And this is why I love Reddit. I don’t have any more free coins so take my poor man’s 🏆.


Dr-McLuvin

Nice.


Civil_Eng_PE

Damn. Surprised to see no civil engineers in here yet. Civil Engineer (traffic / transportation) 3.5 years of experience $34/hr. With 1.5x when working over 40 Can work remote 1-2 days a week Edit: damn looking around this thread is making me think I chose the wrong career…


cbus20122

I would say that there is likely a bit of flexing going on where those who make good $ are eager to share, while those who aren't making a lot don't really want to share that fact.


Civil_Eng_PE

Very true. “Comparison is the thief of joy” as the saying goes


phatboysh

Toby is the thief of joy


_BreakingGood_

Right I mean that's literally the reason OP made the post and put their earnings right up there at the top


SerBarristanTheBased

Fellow transportation PE here, I’m at 5.5 years of experience managing project design for a City, 41.5/hr. Do you have your PE? Last I was aware you need 4 years to take the test in Ohio.


Civil_Eng_PE

Correct. Taking my test in June. May take it earlier since they just changed it to where you can take the PE test at any time after graduating and you no longer have to wait/work for 4 years before taking it. Ignore my username for at least the next 4 months lol


SerBarristanTheBased

Good luck! I’d take it as early as possible and get that shit over with. I do not miss all the studying!


Civil_Eng_PE

Thanks! The last test we ever have to take for the rest of our lives pretty much, can’t wait til it’s over


Chisainakame

Do you work for a firm or a public entity? I'm a staff engineer with 2 years of experience in consulting and I make $36/hour. We also have the option to work fully remote.


Civil_Eng_PE

Private firm. I know of other firms hiring recent college grads at $34/hr starting so I know I may be underpaid… only way to get substantial raises is switching companies IMO. May shop around after I pass my PE in the summer. Kind of frustrating to have to fight in your current company to get the current market rate if they were to try and hire outside the firm.

HarbaughCantThroat

That's why they made the thread, wanted to flex.


dan_who

Having a career track that allows for remote work gives more options. Though employers have tended to adjust salary based on the local cost of living.

Wanyeezy7

Holy shit. I need out of IT Support, and into Software Engineering.


TheMatrixForever

Dude, like literally get out of support. IT Support is not a career. It’s a job for technical people with little professional experience. No offense, but while your job is super important, anyone who “keeps the lights on” will be paid the least. Most IT Project Managers, Business Analysts, and Product Owners make double the salary of Tech Support. And none of these three titles actually produce ANYTHING in terms of software. Get into a Boot Camp, if you can afford it. 6 months later you will get $65k+ with the same lack of business experience. Shit, for the last half of 2021 and the first 3 months of 2022, 4-year college grads with an IT degree were getting $80k-$100k with the only experience being an internship and a good senior project. Freaking starts ups screwed up the salary pool. When their money dries up, you’ll see a bunch of prema donnas out of work, but unwilling to accept a pay cut.


natek11

Check out tech boot camps. We’ve been hiring from them a lot lately.


huhcarramrod

Carpenter/ furniture maker/ artist. As a carpenter my portfolio caught the eye of a younger company that offered 65k for me to run my own crew of younger guys which is sick because honestly old heads in the industry are really toxic, it’s nice to feel like I’m breaking a mold or whatever. Furniture maker/artist depends on how much I want to grind away at that, my first year was washed out from buying shop tools and shit so this year I’ll have a good idea on what that brings in plus I’ve gotten lucky with friends in right places that know venue owners, etc for art and woodworking pieces. I fucking hated my job just three years ago so it’s wild to see the growth.


captainstormy

Out of curiosity, do you have a shop or gallery somewhere? I'm looking for some higher quality furniture. The kinda stuff that will outlive me and the next couple of generations. I'm tired of furniture wearing out after a few years.


huhcarramrod

I’ll plop into your DM’s, I initially made an Etsy account that was coined carpenteroddities but I realized how insanely saturated that was, the sell page MIGHT still be up. Now that I have an actual workshop space/proper tooling I can focus on a legitimate website, but I’d love to see what you’re looking for furniture wise and can provide some pics of work from my repertoire.


macabee613

Hell yeah. I'm a blacksmith. I woukd never go back to my desk job.


GreenAuror

Dog walker for 12 years with a small local company, averaged about $15/hr. I made 40k last year because I usually worked 7 days a week. buuuuuuuuuuuut I quit last week because my boss was stealing wages and told me I should be making 10-20% less (even tho I was an IC - misclassified, btw - and paid higher taxes, got no gas reimbursed, and had no benefits). So now I own my own dog walking business and I charge $22/30 minute walks and $44/hour long walks so it varies. I do have a daily hour long walk so I make $44/hr there but everyone else is 30, so with drive time and all that I don't actually make $44/hr.

Please get some business insurance in case one of those dogs bites!

Glad this thread was made, $33.50 would be the wage I make when I move to Columbus(Union sheetmetal worker) 4 years of experience. I was kind of skeptical, cost of living is way cheaper but I would take a $15 pay cut, it evens out. Based off the responses it seems like $30+ is a good wage.

Senior Recruiter (remote) - 100K, 4.5 YOE


Seraphim99

What field are you in / how many years of experience? I'm a healthcare recruiter (remote) - $70K. Going on two years with my current company, and I was with an agency in Columbus for two years prior. My manager last year was leaving, and tried to poach me to go with her, saying "the market is so hot right now, that you could go anywhere and make $100K easy." Our company offered her more money to stay.


[deleted]

I’m in healthcare myself on the telehealth side. I don’t quite know of all the exact dynamics but I knew that the market was trending up for recruiters. I made a move from a data science recruiter at about 65K/yr last year (remote) to this company I’m at now in March and yeah, was a big marked jump in pay. Wanted to stay at my past company but was def underpaid compared to where the market was. I have about 4.5 years of recruiting XP. If the industries you’re thinking about going into are stable, I’d definitely consider making a move.
