So from $30K to $68K?

$1.75 per hour more. The minimum wage hasn't gone up much since 2001.

Graduated '02 construction management and I'm up 400%. Have my own biz now though so that helps a lot...and should continue to increase it into the future.

I was a ski bum in 2006. $7 an hour. 50 hours a week. A little less than $400 a week.

I am making 12 times that a week now.

My number is inflated due to the fact I was working hourly after college. Snowboarding and getting blasted.

My first real job paid me $24,000/year and took 75% of my commissions until I paid them back. As for now, lets just say I make more.

It's not. 30 - 68 is around 125% more.

I assume most people are doing it wrong ITT. And to be fair, the percent thing is annoying. Should just do 2x, 3x, etc.
