My wife was in restaurant management for years and it pays more than most people would expect but the hours are terrible and you deal with a lot of pissy people. She has now in grocery management and we never would have thought it pays what it does before she started.



Restaurant management pays like shite when you look at it as an hourly wage without any opportunity for overtime

That is true of a lot of salaried jobs though. Not many salary jobs where you only work 40 hours a week.

Fire watch. Seen many a 250lb saucy lady in nomex pulling down 22-25hr to sit on their arse for 12hr a day. That's why I have no patience for free loading shite stains. What's even more amazing is they are in high demand, and can't get enough of them.

Unreal.

I knew a guy that sold appliances for Sears. He said he made 70-80k a year pulling an hourly rate plus commission.
