Imagine if someone came up to you and started talking about money: “Hello, good to meet you. What do you do for a living? Oh, that sounds interesting. How much do you make? Do you get a pension? Are you investing in the stock market? You are? Great! What mutual funds and stocks do you own? Wait, you’re not diversified? Let me tell you what you need to do!”
A dialogue like that could unlock all sorts of promising insights and opportunities. But at the same time, it sounds almost impossible. We’ve come to a point where it’s generally considered inappropriate or even rude to discuss your income. In an attempt to change that, Redditor u/BigPlunk asked other platform users, “What is your job and how much do you get paid?“
Surprisingly, many of them replied! Gotta love the transparency and honesty of some people.

I’m a farmer. My earnings are flirting with the breadline, but I have very little bills and my life is overall very happy and fulfilling

NYC roll off dumpster driver under a Teamster union contract. $40 an hour in January + medical and pension paid 100% by my employer. There’s guaranteed overtime too, so gross around $130k + the other perks. We also get a 100k severance payout the day we retire. I have a bachelors in business, but fell in love with being outside all day. I also sell scrap metal if I can collect it and I have a thriving eBay business from other things I find in the dumpsters. Made another 20-25k doing that on the side.

Emt 15/hr
Edit: u guys need to realize, I’m on the high end. 15/hr is starting wage here and that’s freaking nuts. I seriously met a guy who worked 20+ years as an advanced EMT over in Tennessee and he was legit making 10.50 an hour. The dude was 48 on, 24 off.
Actually y’all think I’m doing rough? Check out wildland firefighters haha

I am a paraprofessional in an elementary school. I spend most of my time in a self contained Kindergarten – 5th grade classroom of mostly “non verbal” students with autism. (Occasionally I float to other classrooms) I make around 20k a year. I love my job, but the pay is insulting.

#9
UPS package sorter at a warehouse, 22$ an hour plus time and a half pay for anything over 5 hour shift in a single day (so for example one shift is 5 hours if I work two shifts in a row the second one would be 33$ an hour)
Unlimited overtime too so if I really really wanted to I could triple shift everyday for an entire week (that would be like 15 hours straight everyday working though) and get a months worth of money in a single check

#13
Licensed Nursing Assistant for a Home Care Agency- $13.50/hr. It’s embarrassingly underpaid, but the girl I take care of is so incredibly sweet (18F with cerebral palsy – nonverbal). Being able to help her and her family out means more to me than my actual paycheck.
