I make decent money working freelance from home.
I might consider working in a factory if they payed me like 150,000 a year and offered on the job training and promotions and pay raises yearly that beat inflation.
I don’t make anywhere close to 150,000, but I’m not willing to drive to a factory, work in a place that may be bad for my health, and give up the experience I’m gaining each day in my current field of work.
Honestly, the jobs would probably fill at 75-100k/y
Not worth it, it’s more than I’m earning now, but then you have to figure in the commute and the hour lunch break that I have to be there for but not get paid for.
It’s a tough sell.
