Partner in a recently launched Private Equity firm. Formerly, I was a Vice President for a multinational private equity firm in NYC. 28 years old.
I don't feel comfortable divulging my annual earnings.
90k for 2.5 years of school to be an RN is crazy. Not many fields can say that. Would hop on just for the money but I can't see myself working in a hospital. That place is depressing to be in

That's a short sighted and illogical way of hustling, fam. The problem most people have is that they're constantly thinking of their employment from a "job" lense instead of from a "career" lense.
What happens when that $90K gig you signed up for just for the money burns out your interest and passion after a year? What then? Think long term about what your passionate about and go down that route, not about what makes you the most money now. Trust me, you'll thank yourself when you're older.
You dont necessarily have to work in a hospital for nursing. You can easily make over 100k depending on the field of nursing you choose as well.90k for 2.5 years of school to be an RN is crazy.

Gotta get all As and Bs in pre-reqs and school is competitive. The great thing about nursing is the versatility. There are a hundreds of fields, many of them not in the hospital. Home health, Dialysis, Clinical coordinator, outpatient facility, flight nurse, army/navy/air force RN, SWAT nurse, forensics nurse, the list goes on and on... I started doing home health, then did flu vaccines, then worked in operating room, then worked in the hospital, then found a field I really liked in dialysis. Starting in this area is 60k+90k for 2.5 years of school to be an RN is crazy. Not many fields can say that. Would hop on just for the money but I can't see myself working in a hospital.

There's a lot of sacrifices that I make. I work on most holidays (people are sick on holidays too, somebodies got to take care of em). Christmas week I put in 76 hours that WEEK. 12h shifts, I've worked over 14 hours in a day. I work with really sick peoples' blood everyday. If one of my patients has AIDs and they get blood on my hangnail, guess what? I'm probably gonna contract AIDs.That's a short sighted and illogical way of hustling, fam.

My friend just got a job at Stanford after being a nurse for 2 years, 62$/hr, free medical, 9% 401k match after a year. Of course this is in Nor cal where it's all inflated, but still.You dont necessarily have to work in a hospital for nursing.

I do the same **** b. Xpo?i am a W&I (weight and inspection) inspector for a trucking company here in the Southeast.
i walk our dock measuring freight to see if it is classed (50-500 class system, where 500 makes for a higher shipping rate) properly so that our company gets paid fairly.
somewhat boring task, but pretty easy once you get the hang of how things work.
No way.! Thats like sales rep income.. Out of what state/branch.? I used to be a merchandiser for PepsiCo. Did it for 2 years. Barely scraped 35k on my second year.. the benefits were great tho... it's a great company to work for. They look out for their employees.
But anyways....,
Currently a Finish Carpenter Apprentice,
made $42k in 2015

Never thought I'd see another w&i on nt.Southeastern Freight Lines.
rare field imo. everytime i explain no one understands lol.
I'm an underwriter as well. Think I saw one or two others who are also in the industry. I basically am on the phone/email with brokers all day, as we are a major market for professional liability in the insurance world.
I make around $58k - $60k with bonus and am 27 years old. I get to travel a little, but not as much as I would like. Might need to go to the broker/wholesale side of the industry as this office life has grown stale the last couple years. Trying to find a different role within the company since we are so large and there are always opportunities.
I have a side hustle I do every weekend that pulls me in about $25-28k cash a year. Between the two I feel very fortunate, as neither job is overly stressful.
Sucks not having much time on the weekends. I do have Sunday's off though, so it's not bad. Keeps me from spending $ Friday and Saturday night anyway.
