[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1211813, member: 50088"] Here's 30 jobs that pay a national median of $80K/yr. Now a few considerations: *Yes, those at top rate only past that figure with typical overtime. Some drivers even pass $90K. *And although we need overtime to match, we get pensions and other benefits that these other jobs don't provide. *And for the record, these figures are a few years old but surely haven't changed much. Consider the education required for all these jobs. We're not doing too shabby for doing a job with no advanced skills needed. In fact, we learn what we need to do the job in a matter of weeks. But we do earn every penny!
