I see people crying on LinkedIn about only making 50K. I made more than that my first cybersecurity job a decade ago. You probably need a Masters or PhD to get 6 figures in this job market.
Crazy how Barbers and other Blue Collar jobs are making more than the 6 cert IT Gang nowadays.

Man, do yall understand statistics and evidence? You need to reference the average or median wages for each occupation in order to make comparison. You can't reference your boy or brother as evidence.
| Average Salary | The average annual salary for a barber in the U.S. is around $44,012, with top earners making about $63,328 per year. Income is heavily influenced by tips, number of clients, and hours worked. | The average salary for an IT analyst varies, but it is typically much higher than a barber's. For example, salaries in Atlanta, GA, range from $86k to over $129k annually. |

There are a good amount of internships for $90-$110/hr. Here’s Amazon for $100/hr.

Even cheap ass Twitter giving a rate of $100k/year for an internship. A lot are mainly in that $150k range which for a Fall Internship is like $30-$40k with living accommodations taken cared of for 3 months.
Mind you it’s an internship so that means people who haven’t graduated yet. That means some smart 18-year-olds are getting these salaries. It’s also low-stress work for the most part: nobody is going to load an intern with critical systems work.
Financial companies on that same site are giving nearly $200/hr to Comp Sci interns as well.

White-Collar Workers Want to Switch to the Trades: Report
White-collar workers want to switch to the trades: Report
A new 2025 Workplace FlexJobs study revealed that many employees are thinking about switching up their job positions.
www.newsweek.com
Roughly 62 percent of the more than 3,000 surveyed employees in the FlexJobs report said they would consider switching from a white-collar to a blue-collar job if it offered better pay and stability than their current role.
Another 45 percent of workers said they were thinking about switching fields entirely, and 44 percent said they daydreamed about starting a business.
Thats reported income though. Barbers can under report, whereas IT workers have a legit paper trail.
idk man they be pulling up in nicer whips than me.This dumb ass thread.

Yep. I make good money with excellent benefits, but my body has taking a beating. Plantar fasciitis, sciatica, carpal tunnel, and now I’m hoping and praying that I don’t have a torn rotator cuffThe only knock on blue collar lifestyle(currently a white collar breh but was a blue collar breh for 18 years)
Your body pays for it in the end
Shoulder, back and knees all have arthritis
That’s with me losing weight too
