In HS I was a grocery bagger and I made $5.34/hr 1992-93
I then worked as head cad drafter (autocad) for multiple architects... When I announced I was quitting my firm to move to seattle, I told them I was moving and needed a raise so I could save up to move in 3 months, they laughed at my gall and granted me the raise from $8.50/hr to $9.25 -- 1994
I moved to Seattle then made $9.50 as head draftsman designing Fred Huchinson Cancer Research Center and a bunch of fast food restaurants and gas stations and cell sites... (Rent was $400/month for a 1 bedroom)
Moved back to the Bay in '97 and got a job as IT manager for a company making $42K/yr (Rent was $1,200 for 3-br
then $65k
then $70K
then $104K (mortgage $2400)
120, 150, 170, 250K
Now I am looking for work and make nothing...
I am happier making nothing than anytime I was on the clock 24/7/365 worrying about production uptime that made nothing better in this world....
