I’m an instrumentation and controls tech making $70k with OT or $32.50 per hour base at a water plant as a male turning 26 next month. I live in central FL. I had a job opportunity I tuned down because it was 75-80% travel could have been 100% that paid $48.74 an hour and required 400-800 OT hours. I’m looking to get another job that requires about the same OT but not much travel (only about 5-15%) and pays $47-48 an hour. I look at 22 year olds making $450k a year and feel so far behind.
