Re: Who here earns over $60,000 a year and what is your job?
I run my own business. I do okay. My wife is an RN. Our combined income is descent. I like what I do. I also run a small ranch. However, these days it's more a right off than a for-profit endeavor.

I am working on a advanced degree in engineering and polishing up my CNC skills. I also maintain my paramedic licence, however, I am considered 'inactive' since I only first respond as a volunteer for our local VFD.

I am a serial skill acquirer and a junkie for new trade skills. It's just me.

All that said, I rip my hair out if I had to go into a cubicle . No amount of cash could get me in that life, I turn tricks on the interstate first!

$68,000 per year and I work as a healthcare compliance analyst (making sure that your private medical records are protected when you go to the hospital or your insurance company is billed). Only 4 years out of school though, so the ceiling is higher for this profession ... probably around $80,000 - $110,000 depending upon the size of the company and the local market.

Ill be hitting a 100k this yr..

Im a plumber, work on commission. I dont think anyone here hates there job as much as i do. I work very long hrs, holidays and on call 2-3 nights a week.. Its also a very physical job! Hate it, thinking about going back to school and getting a nice office job for a change..

I love that check at the end of the week though! The more you make and the bigger the company you work brings an even bigger stress..

I make about 45K and my wife brings in about 20K tax free. We both love our jobs. I am a service tech and backup driver for a local propane company and she takes care of an old lady and cleans 2 houses each week.

I have a buddy that drives a freight truck for UPS, he made 100K last year.

You think this is a joke? Either one would be advantageous along with the understanding of the systems that run these, you could be sitting on a gold mine.

The people who originally wrote the code and maintained it are slowly retiring and dieing. They are not training replacements and the systems are not being replaced.

how many kids asshole and give us some specifics of where you live - urban? rural?

I agree $100K for two people with no kids is not at all bad depending on where you live and what you have to do for it.

But from your post I am guessing you don't have "issues" and maybe that what you meant - if you can't live on that you've got issues (legalese for "kids")

I am self employed in the low voltage installation field, I also do a specialized type of programming. I'm sure nobody will believe me, but I will make well over $300,000 this year. I have not made less then $200,000 per year in the last ten, except for one year. It took/takes a lot of long hours and travel, but the money is great! I don't think I could ever go back and work for anybody else.
