I'm a degreed engineer from Georgia Tech - I graduated in '89
I theoretically make $45/hr.
Until you take out all the periods of un or under employment that I've been through in the last 18 months.
In 2001 I was making $60/hr but even then there was unemployment involved so I ended up right at $100k in my best year ever.
I'll be lucky to make $50k this year.
and I'm doing better than most people.
YES your straw man is controversial because it is a work of fiction not grounded in actual statistics from the Commerce Bureau / Census Department.
