Antiwork asks “are y'all really making less than 50k?” The answer might surprise you.

It's a great job money wise, I've bought a house and 2 acres by doing it, but it's really dull and unfulfilling. Also I'm a ruralcel so the employment opportunities suck.

Then work for 5 years just to end up making what I do now. Can't leave the room unless going to the restroom. My boss is cheap so our chairs are archaic so not the most comfortable.

I am a veterinary technician. I do everything that a human radiology tech, phlebotomist, nurse, anesthetist, surgical assistant, and more would do… except for your pets. In most states, my position requires a 4-year degree, sitting for a state board exam, and fulfilling continuous licensing requirements just like a human RN. Median income for my job is $38,240. 90th percentile barely cracks $50k annual. Most people I know in the field don't make over $20/hour. Many in the field can't even pay their bills while taking care of designer pets that cost more than our cars.

All of that time. All that studying. All of that test prep. All of those exams. All of those licensing requirements. All of that work.

this guy gets it! Getting a degree isn't a BAD thing. I should have clarified that--I think education is important, but I've def seen people that I've worked with(and this is anecdotal, so grain of salt) go to college and get a bachelors in whatever thinking that they deserve to work in said field.

for instance--marketing (this is personal to me). Former coworker went to school for marketing, got a bachelors. Did the usual college student tour of food industry and then got a "marketing job" doing some bullshit that isn't even related to marketing and somehow landed some marketing admin position--which has nothing to do with what he went to school for.

My gf went to school for marketing and all they taught her was theory. marketing is like pay per click campaigns, social media, SEO and shit like that. (Obviously ads play a role--hence PPC). She wanted to open a business and I was like--you could do marketing and asked her what she knew? Nada. No tools (Idk why this adds cow here.) lmao , no programs nothing, and the same for my former coworker.

He never learned any concrete skills, yet here's me doing personal projects to learn SEO. also, dude has written off LinkedIn as a tool. In many fields it is necessary to network, which albeit I'm bad at.

Anyway, former coworker looked like a frog, so that probably had something to do with everything. (ribbit)

Vet Tech really is a bullshit field according to my wife. You make about 30-40k and you have to wrestle your 80-100lb patients onto exam tables, prep, know how to sedate them n shit for surgeries etc. etc. They make way less because its a field thats 99% women and they'll rather just collect whatever paycheck they can get than fight for higher pay.

Women in general dont negotiate for higher pay so they're all stuck doing heavy lifting, chemistry and so on for such a shit salary. It's a wonder no economist or even feminist economist bitching about "wage gap" going after perhaps one of the more under paid fields thats mainly women lmao.

Also becoming a vet is very competitive, so you have a glut of women washing out of vet programs and landing on the closest thing to being an actual vet, which will depress wages.

the primary reason for the wage gap is because women in every female job aren't competing on the same promotion track as men are. success at a male career is getting promoted and paid better. success at a female career is getting married to a rich guy at work.

nurses don't want more pay or more responsibility, they want to bully the other nurses so they have a better shot at marrying one of the doctors and living off his paycheck for the rest of her life
