Hey they were close! We make 30-40k in (2024 Dollars)
The sheer amount of jobs that post that range as the expected salary is insanely depressing and disgusting...
I don't think people truly understand just how much of our economy operates with those pay scales. I'm uneducated so I don't have a specific industry to get tunnel vision with, I see a broad range of jobs and holy shit it is gross what is being "offered."
On a side note, my friend in computer science just mentioned a coworker who makes over 150k is quitting because he has too much down time at work. Just kill me already, I've had enough torture...
You may find David Grieber's book Bullshit Jobs interesting. TL;DR: human beings have a natural drive and need to spend their lives doing useful work. If that need isn't met, they get depressed. Getting to do something actually useful at work is considered a privilege, a job perk. Companies offer more pay as compensation for the lack of job perks at jobs that don't do anything useful.
That was for nonworking families.
