We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

My situation isn’t going to be all that helpful for you.

My take-home has actually dropped by about $60,000/year, but that’s because I went back to school during that 8 years for a career change after hitting a dead end.

Now, I work far fewer hours than I did in the old career as I’m still working my way up in the new one. Hourly though, I make about 25% more in the new career than the old.

Now I’m single with no kids, so going back to school was an option for me. It won’t be an option for everyone.
