There have been two threads about this on this board over the last 3 weeks or so that put the lie to this notion. According to those who are in these fields, unless you're the owner of the business or working your arse off with ot, you're not cracking 6 figures.

What’s serious bank? Because most will be doing like 60k.

This has been said for years now and there never been that big boom that people keep claiming for “skilled laborers”

As they should. I hope this contracts colleges and universities from offering worthless degrees they know are worthless to start with, and they shrink in size to where they are only offering degree programs in needed areas of society.

The skilled labor market is being flooded with illegal immigrants. It’s going to drive those wages down and help fight inflation. Very bad deal for hard working Americans.
