[QUOTE="32icon321, post: 15945545, member: 57567"] I often wonder how much of staying in lower income is a choice. I'm understand everyone has different circumstances but in general there are plenty of great paying jobs here in KY. For instance I am doing an engineering CO-OP at North American stainless in Ghent, KY. There are currently 70+ operator positions open, most of which do not require any experience. Full benefits, up to 5 weeks vacation, etc. Some of the operators here have made almost 80-100k a year working all holidays and tons of overtime. The parking lots are full of 60k + trucks. People are leaving this job for better paying steel mill jobs believe it or not. If you want to get promoted into maintenance they will pay for your school and for the time you're in class you get paid your hourly rate. Most of the maintenance guys make around 70k. Personally I started as a temporary on an assembly line making $8 an hour. Got promoted into fabrication making around $12/hour. The cost of living there was nothing. Lived comfortably (single, no kids) but decided I really wanted to get a degree in engineering. Been in school ever since and about to graduate. Getting my degree has been the hardest thing I've ever done. These last two semesters will make 6 years. Will i be rich? No but I will enjoy what I do for the rest of my life and have many different jobs to choose from.
